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

Though this holiday and winter is feeling so different and challenging in so many ways (especially for us parents), I’ve been trying to turn inward as the weather gets colder and our family has been forced inside together. I’ve started to really pay close attention to what feels good and what doesn’t for me, for our family… starting to think about how can we restructure our home and our life to feel more fun and joyful despite all that we are having to miss out on this year. Though there is so much I am grieving and sad to miss out on, one thing’s for sure, the most important thing to me this year has been my experiences and memories…. who I choose to give my time to and how I choose to spend it. And for sure, taking photos and spending my time with my husband and my girls is at the top of that list.

A fav holiday slash first birthday family photoshoot for you to enjoy. Though let’s laugh and cry a bit together about how funny it seems now to be out and about in a busy downtown area trying to take pictures *face palm*

Behind the Camera

My name is Suzy and for the last 18 years I've had the absolute honor and privilege of photographing families during their life's greatest moments in Chicago and all around the world (and I have the smile lines to prove it). I absolutely love photography, and I am extremely good at what I do. But my absolute best and most important work is being able to help people connect with their families. So they can see and appreciate of all of things that are so wonderful about their life.
