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

The other week these two were sweet enough to meet me in the park for some play time and photos.  I’ve been doing a lot of these impromptu ‘mommy & me’ mini-sessions, I just absolutely love them.

And looking through these film scans I’m also reminded of how often baby boys look like adorable little old men hehe Perhaps this Shel Silverstein poem explains it best:

“You know the stork bring babies,
But did you also know
He comes and get the older folks
When it’s their time to go?

Zooms right down and scoops them up,
Then flaps back out the door
And flies them to the factory where
They all were made before.

And there their skin is tightened up,
Their muscles all are toned,
Their wrinkles all are ironed out,
They’re given brand-new bones.

Ol’ bent backs are straightened up,
New teeth are added too,
Tired hearts are all repaired
And made to work like new.

Their memories are all removed
And they’re shrunk down, and then
The stork flies them back down to earth
As newborn babies again.”

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.
