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

Toward the end of fall we had the pleasure of photographing Matt & Katy’s wedding at the Lake Forest Armour House.  Of all the things that day, two things stuck out in my mind most: (1) the AWESOME guest table which included a painting of a tree as well as pads of ink so that guests could make ‘leaves’ with their fingerprints, so cute! And (2) a rare and beautiful phenomenon of nature occured, a sun shower!  Someone once told me at a wedding last year that in Japan the ultimate sign of good luck is to have a ‘fox wedding,’ which is where it rains while the sun still shines bright.. and that’s exactly what happened on M&K’s big day.  Thankfully the rain stopped and the sun remained just in time for everyone to have an outdoor ceremony at sunset.

Thank you so much Matt & Katy for allowing us the honor, blessing and privilege of capturing your big day.  We are so happy for you both and really looking forward to meeting up again one day soon 😉

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.
