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

My week in Santa Barbara…

We drove along the coast from LA to Santa Barbara

We stopped at a beach in Malibu for the day.. it was so so beautiful.  It amazes me that there are people out there who get to experience that as part of their daily reality.

We stayed with family & friends and even did a little engagement shoot for them (well, Julia did the official shoot and I merely observed with my camera).

We went on hikes and a rock climbing excursion.. I even faced my fear of tight spaces head on at ‘The Narrows.’

We had (several) drinks before Julia got more work done on her tattoo sleeve. There is now a beyond gorgeous piece of artwork forever inked on her arm.

We people watched and found inspiration in the mundane.

We took a moment to enjoy the sun one last time before heading back home.

Here are some of my personal images of our trip.  Nothing fancy, just my own personal memories 🙂

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.
