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

Recently some friends of ours had their first baby, so we spent two afternoons together documenting this new beginning of theirs. We started off with some pretty pictures outside, and then met up again to hang out at home to get some more chill-every-day-stuff. While I totally love and appreciate a gorgeous portrait in a field of daffodils, I honestly have decided my absolute favorite is to work with people in their home space. What better way to capture the true personality and connections of a family than in a space that is already full of their most cherished memories..

Congratulations you guys and a million thanks for inviting me over to capture this time for you! xoxo

…. and then while Cian was taking a snack break, Leila and I had our own little photo shoot. Recently a friend of mine lost her beloved kitty of 19 years and so the importance of documenting a family’s furry babies has become all the more present to me.

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.
