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

Each time I work with a family to capture their birth story, the newborn session is always bittersweet for me. It’s a culmination (and celebration) of all the work we’ve been doing together up until that point, and yet the last piece of the story and most likely the last time I will see the family for the next year or more.

This family in particular I’ve worked with to capture both of their little ones’ birth stories and it has been such a joy to watch these parents grow from a couple who is expecting to seasoned parents of two. So it is with great pleasure and a little bit of sadness that I share the last piece of their second birth story (I highly suggest checking out their pregnancy session HERE that we did around the city last month if you haven’t seen it already).

Enjoy! xoxo

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.
