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

Remember this amazing Bump Club & Beyond family??  Earlier this year I donated a free session and package to Bump Club and Beyond for their 2011 Father’s Day Contest.  Despite being nervous and anxious about finding out who we’d be working with, we were so blessed when found out we were paired up with Kristi and her family!  After talking with her we decided to do a pregnancy and newborn session.  After having a blast at their family/pregnancy session, I was so excited to come back and hang out with them again and meet baby Jackson (aka Jack).  Things that I loved loved loved about this session:

* We were greeted for Jack’s session with bloody mary’s (how ever did they know that we LOVE a good bloody!?! ;))

* Ava is probably the coolest two year old EVER.  She both rocked a rainbow brite-style look AND knows how to throw a football!

* Second reason why Ava is probably the coolest two year old ever… when we moved one of the chairs for photos we found an L wrench underneath.  Ava snatched it up and dragged me to her bedroom to inform me that her rocking horse, Mr. Nate, needed to be fixed and started trying to use the tool on his screws.  How she knew what the L wrench was or that it was designed to fix things I have no idea lol

* Jack slept like a rock the entire time.  No joke we tried everything to get him to wake up at the end of his photos.. we poked and tickled him but he just cooed and fell right back asleep.

* He also gave the BIGGEST smiles ever 🙂

* At the end of the session we found everyone in their rooms peacefully sleeping.  I wish I had taken a picture of this so you know I’m not exaggerating when I say we’re like glorified babysitters.

Anyway, I thought I’d post more than usual to show what kind of awesome stuff we love to give away to our Bump Clubbers 🙂

Thanks again Kristi and her family for being such a pleasure to work with and for allowing us to share in their joy as they grew from three to four.  Really looking forward to meeting up again soon! xoxo

Behind the Camera

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.
