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

With pleasure I welcome another Bump Club cutie – meet sweet little 2-month old Lily!  Although Vasili and I normally do our newborn sessions between 5-10 days after birth, when Lily’s mama first contacted us about trying our usual ‘sleepy, dreamy baby session’ I was both excited and nervous because obviously there is a huge difference between a week old newborn and a 2-month old baby.  We’re always up for a challenge so we said of course we would give it a try!  Not only did Lily sleep nice and soundly for us during our time together but being a touch older allowed us to have even more fun with the family portion of it, her personality was really shining through!  I’m convinced that even at 2 months old, Lily LOVED having her photograph taken.   Check out a sneak peek of our time together that day and I’d say the proof is in the puddin’ judging by Lily’s big smiles 🙂

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.
