Hi, I'm Suzy, a photographer, mentor and mom of 3. I'm so glad you're here.

Last time we left off wondering what outfit would baby Piper make her big debut in…. 🙂

And the answer is….

…. the insanely adorable vintage yellow onesie!  Which, by the way, just so happened to go perfectly with a sweet little yellow flower headband I had made specially by my favorite headband designer, Amelia Hambrook.

When I met up with this sweet couple not long ago for a maternity session I had such a great time I couldn’t wait to come back and meet Piper once she was born.  And let me tell you, the little lady did not disappoint.  Seriously, hands down, one of my favorite newborn sessions and birth stories. ever.

So in rare form I think I’ll let the images speak for themselves this time, as I am beyond proud of how they turned out.  The light, the beauty, the love and emotion.. just simply enjoy it all XO (oh and of course a big thank you THANK YOU to Piper and her family for allowing me the privilege and joy of capturing her journey here. Looking forward to getting together again soon for a little double date with Vasili next time! ;))

The Artist

Suzzane
brown

For nearly two decades, I’ve worked with individuals and families who understand the value of time. And the importance of preserving it well.

My work centers on creating living archives: carefully composed records of a life as it’s being lived. Not performances. Not surface moments. But the relationships, environments, and details that define a legacy.

I approach each commission with the eye of an artist and the discipline of a documentarian. Listening closely. Observing deeply. Shaping work that is meant to endure. Crafted on film, finished as heirloom objects, and designed to be held in your hands, lived with in the home, and passed down in your private family vault. 

This is not photography for the present moment.

It is art made in service of memory, history, and the generations that follow.
