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

Sure I might be jumping the gun a bit on this post with Mother’s Day not coming up until next month, but do you really need just one day to celebrate moms?

I have this fabulous friend who works for Health Connect One – a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the health of mothers and babies through programs that focus on peer-to-peer breastfeeding & doula support just to name a couple of their initiatives. Each mother’s day they do a little something to raise money to help advance the health and wellness of mothers and babies all across the U.S. It’s really fantastic work they do, and literally just a donation of $25 can help make a difference. Click HERE to check it out and see how you can help support the work they do –

And in honor of the good work they’re doing, I thought I’d share a few (or loads) of my favorite mom moments. Happy mother’s day every day!

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.
