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

If you follow our blog, you may remember a certain chubby, bald and insanely adorable newborn boy that we photographed not long ago.. I first met this little guy’s parents back in summer and then met up a second time with them for a maternity session to capture life pre-baby’s arrival.  It was during that period when we were having an intense heat wave and while I was nervous to bring an expecting mom out in that kind of weather, I knew that ultimately we would make it work, even if it meant hanging out at home.  So when I showed up I suggested we stay at the house and hang out.. which lead to taking their silly, fun-loving pups out for a walk… which lead to heading down by the lake.  Needless to say we had a lot of fun and mama remained comfortable and glowingly beautiful the entire session, so I think it’s safe to say that we beat the heat 😉  Thank you so much to this family for allowing me to share in such an amazing journey as I watched their family literally grow before me this last 6 months from belly to birth to baby.  And if you haven’t already, do yourself a favor and check out their life after baby’s arrival by clicking HERE.

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.
