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

This morning I woke up at the crack of dawn for a mini-session on the beach with good friends (despite the nasty weather we’ve been having today, we totally caught the most gorgeous sunrise!).  We walked along the beach until we found a little path leading us to the lakefront and an insanely good view of the city, and then stopped by Ipsento afterward for some chit chat and warming up – if you’re a local Chicagoan, the nutella latte is to die for.

With the exception of a few holiday card orders, I am completely caught up on my to-do list.. something I haven’t been able to say in almost 2 years yowza! So with that being said, I’m off to relax with friends and enjoy myself this weekend 🙂 (I hope you do the same!)

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.
