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

I can’t believe that this year..

lil’ J turned 2.

And this time around J’s mom and I thought it would be fun to keep the tradition of spending her birthday together hanging out and getting a cupcake just like last year (by the way, did you know J’s mama is the founder of Bump Club Chicago?!).  So when J’s birthday finally came I went over to their place, finished breakfast and we all headed over to Bake in Wicker Park for a cupcake (which by the way makes the most amazing cupcakes.ever.).  After we stuffed ourselves with sweets and coffee (excuse me, milk for Miss J), we literally let J burn off all that sugar at the park in about 15 minutes and then headed back home again.

Ahh a very long and tiring last week has left me at a loss for words of how special it truly is for me to be a part of a family’s traditions and special memories.. and the photos I create from those moments are the least I can do to show that gratitude.  Thank you so so much Lindsay for inviting me to spend J’s birthday with you both, I already can’t wait for next year! XO

Oh, and if you’re interested in possibly having a family photography session to mark your little one’s birthday too, or even have me and my camera spend the day with you all, shoot me an email at info@simplybysuzy.com and let’s make it happen! 😉

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.
