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

… as in, “sha-vee.”  As in, short for Xavier. And clearly, this little guy is just as sweet as his name 🙂

I actually ended up visiting baby Xavi and his family three times – once at the end of fall before he was born and then twice again when he was 9 and 10 days old (the latter has become quite routine for our baby sessions during the winter months as there is a very limited window of good natural light this time of year.. *shakes fist at midwest weather gods*).  Although it was more my pleasure than anything to return again and again as I have really enjoyed getting to know Xavi’s parents and am so thankful that a friend referred them to me!  They made me many amazing cups of coffee to keep me going and during feedings we chatted about all sorts of things including their love for cycling, great books (anything Malcolm Gladwell is a ‘to-read list’ must!), how they met, where they grew up.. well, you get the idea 😉  Anyway here are some of my faves from those two days of visits.  Thank you so much again K&B for inviting me out to not only capture your journey to parenthood but for being so amazing, kind and hospitable to us! xoxo

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.
