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

This is the second year in a row now that I’ve photographed this family at their annual get-together.  Although photographing large extended families is not typically what I do, you probably recognize the baby of the bunch – Avery – whom I’ve been photographing since she was just 6 months old!  As you can tell, all 14 of the parents, grandparents and kids are full of love and kisses for each other… and surprisingly for the camera too!  Just like last year, all of the grandkids know how to make me really special as they fought each other to get my attention and their picture taken (and apparently peace signs are the new thing for the kids this  year, which I’m all about peace, love & harmony so I was diggin’ it!).  Thanks to everyone for making it a fun and relaxing afternoon, just strolling around Soldier Field and Museum Campus. I can’t wait to see you all next year!

…and maybe there will be even more family members by then? :o)

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.
