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

… and in with the new!  Yesterday Vasili and I had the best new year’s eve ever – for the first time we decided to just keep it low-key and stay in.  We made martinis and dinner, Vasili taught me how to play Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here on the guitar, and we kissed at both NYC and Chicago’s countdown to the new year.  It was quiet, we didn’t have to worry about finding a way home in the cold, and no hangovers today – it was wonderful :o)  This morning we cooked homemade waffles together for breakfast (courtesy of the waffle maker my mom and dad got me for Christmas) and thought about what resolutions we wanted to work on in 2011.  2010 was such a great year and I truly believe that this will be the start of even more incredible things for us and many others… even the weather is foreboding of change and new beginnings as it looked like spring outside our window today!

With that being said, I also wanted to thank everyone so much for your love and support this past 12 months.. from the clients who I had the pleasure of working with and getting to know to the people who just follow my blog from time to time, thank you for keeping us hopeful that we can make our dreams a reality.

(PS Photographers – keep an eye out for Basil, Bentley and Lucky at ProDPI’s booth next year at WPPI. Apparently ProDPI enjoyed BBL’s debut as santa and his reindeer so much they asked if they could use my holiday card as a sample at their trade show booths LOL!)

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.
