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

In case you don’t remember my good friends, Brittany & Luai, they just had their wedding celebration recently at the beautiful Abbington in Glen Ellyn. Clearly Brittany’s fabulous sense of style extends well beyond her wardrobe and into the realm of wedding planning.  She put together every detail of the evening all by herself and in such an incredibly short amount of time (all the while finishing dental school and applying to her residency!).  I think it’s safe to say I speak on the behalf of many of Brittany’s loved ones when I say I was so impressed!  The table settings and centerpieces; the beautiful ambiance and mood as set by the candle-lit atmosphere; the traditional Arab dancers who got everyone up on their feet…  It was definitely an amazing evening and I wanted to capture all of that for my friend to remember for the rest of her life…

Anyway, here are but a few of Vasili and my favorites from the evening.  Congratulations Brittany & Luai, we’re so happy for you!

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.
