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

Not sure why my friends always seem to get left to last.. but I am long overdue for a blog post to share Naja & Manu’s love story 🙂

Last summer I did a little beloved session to help these two celebrate their 10 year wedding anniversary, and then again we met up this past Spring to snap a few pictures of them with their little ones.  It’s very interesting to look back at all of these images and see the different roles that Naja & Manu in each other’s lives exemplified in these pictures.. husband & wife, parents, and best friends 🙂

Anyway, I’ll let you see what I mean for yourself as I’ve shared some of my favorite images from each session below.  Thank you Naja for not only inviting me the capture your family and the special love you share with Manu, it is a huge honor whenever any one extends this privilege to me but especially a fellow photographer whose work I admire.  And most importantly, thank you for your friendship and all the delicious cups of coffee you’ve shared with me while we pour our hearts out to each other about photography and life XO

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.
