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

I could start this post in a million different ways, but it would always end the same.. with me saying how unbelievably sweet, happy, kind and beautiful this trio is. Every time I come by for a session I feel like I’m spending time with friends, they’re always dressed in outfits better than I could ever imagine, and they indulge every request I make of them (including trekking through sinking mud across an apocalyptic-esque snowscape in the city just so I could get the ‘winter snow shots’ I wanted for P’s 3 month sesh).

Anyway here are some of my favorites from P’s 3 month mini-session, exactly what I had envisioned – lots of B&Ws along with cool tones and a little bit of snow to capture them all at this point in the year and her development (aka, totally boring lingo for most of you and for the few photogs who check out my blog, a shallow peek into my creative thought process).

Thanks again guys for being so awesome, treating me to coffee and best of all, cheers to seeing you all at least 3 more times in the next 9 months! XO

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.
