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

The morning we were supposed to meet, this Bump Club Chicago VIP family and I originally planned on having a sunrise session at the beach to capture both their family and their littlest one’s first birthday!  In typical Chicago fashion, I showed up to the beach only to find gusty winds and about 20 foot waves crashing onto the path along the lake… lol  So instead we decided to stay warm at home and even got to spend time with grandma & grandpa.  We danced around, sang songs, had a tea party and story time, ate cupcakes and tickled each other until our sides hurt from laughter.  Yep. It was a pretty awesome morning 🙂   Check back to our blog tomorrow for both day 6 of our 30 day-long daily post marathon (try saying that 10 times fast in a row!) and to see a glimpse into a part two with this family!

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.
