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

One time someone said they didn’t wish to book me because I obviously only shoot inside..

And much to my disappointment, I couldn’t really argue. There’s just really not that many days in the year that Chicago grants me weather where I feel comfortable taking an expecting mom or a young child outside for a family photography session. Thankfully I do get those nice days every now and again along with a super sweet and flexible, patient family willing to schedule and reschedule a few times in hopes of catching that elusive beautiful weather. Our perseverance paid off and we were able to spend a sunny (albeit windy) day in the park together.

Oh and also a big THANK YOU to my friend Candice (who has styled her own family impeccably at our photography shoots for the last few years) for helping this family style their outfits for the shoot.

Behind the Camera

Suzzane

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.
