my life

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

Vasili and I went out of town this past weekend for a friend’s wedding and I am still reeling with joy and love from those three days.. another story for another day though..

But I mention our weekend of traveling because on these days when I find myself back in the office with an extra long and looming to-do list before me, I try to come up with little side projects to keep my spirits lifted and my motivation going (trust me when I say that it is a lot harder than one might think to keep yourself disciplined to sit at your desk working for 12-18+ hours at a time).

Anyway so today’s side project comes from my session last week, when I met up with this family who is expecting baby #2. In the car ride home, Sloane (who is now 2, can you believe it?!) wanted to listen to one of her favorite songs.. and kept saying “C’mon Suzy sing the song with me! C’mon Suzy!” I was sad to disappoint her that I didn’t’ know the lyrics.. so today I am dedicating my extra mental space to make sure I can sing along with her next time we meet up once baby brother arrives 😉

(and it also happens to be a really awesome song)

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.
