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

As I always say, one of the things I love most about our job are the deep, long-lasting relationships we develop with the families we work with.  I find it so fascinating all the different ways that people love each other, the different ways that people communicate with one another, and in general I just truly enjoy feeling more connected with the world around me.. Whether that means nature, inanimate objects or, best of all, my fellow human kind.  I mean, isn’t that whole point to this life anyway?

I thought about these things after a session not long ago with a family who I’ve had the joy of watching grow from three to now four in the past two years.  Rylee is getting oh-so big and growing into the most beautiful little lady.. When I come by I am now greeted with a hug and “Shoosie!”  and I can already see Rylee’s big heart by the way she loves to show me how good of a big sister she is to her new baby brother, Colton (who I can’t believe is already 3 going on 4 months old!)  Anyway, here’s but a few of my favorites from my afternoon with Rylee, Colton and the rest of their family as they showed me all the ways they love to love each other 🙂  Until we see each other again… xoxo

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.
