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

Being in our apartment is starting to feel like staying in a relationship you know isn’t good for you anymore, but you can’t help but hold onto all those good times you’ve had over the years.  I’m sure we all can relate when I say that familiarity is a hard thing to let go of…  But despite a slue of building issues and maintenance problems, I love this little space because Vasili and I have built so many memories here.  Most of all I think I’m going to miss being able to watch the sun set every.single.day.. And on a really good day, at just the right minute, the light will even come in with a really deep reddish hue. It’s spectacular.

Anyway, here are a few images I took yesterday of Lucky snuggling in our LoveSac and enjoying the warmth of this special light.  Now off to somehow cram into my day finishing up work and apartment hunting.. (the latter I completely loathe. So please. If you or anyone you know is looking to rent their 2 bedroom condo, I beg of you.. send me their way)

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.
