my life

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

… my job.

I am honestly just so thankful that my journey as a professional photographer has introduced me to the most wonderful people, most of all other photographers.  Some of my closest friends are other photographers I’ve met through industry-related Facebook groups, connecting over a love for someone else’s work, taking a workshop, and even random coffee dates here in the city..

Brittany happens to be one of those wonderful people I’ve been so blessed to have met and become friends with through my work. I was beyond delighted when she asked me to come do a little ‘afternoon in the life of’ style session to capture their every day life with baby (well, not so much a baby anymore) E after recently finding out they were going to be expecting another little one next summer. And I’ve actually edited this summary since I held their session as at the time of posting this it was still a secret that they were expecting baby #2 😉

Anyway, thank you thank you THANK YOU so much Brittany & Nate for allowing me to come into your home and be one of your own for a day.  I had the best time ever and really looking forward to coming back for a slumber party and tulsi dolsha chai tea! 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.
