chicago lifestyle photographer | unwanted house guest

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

A friend once told her children a story about an unwanted family house guest who was often rude, crude, mean, made poor decisions that their family wouldn’t approve of but for some reason never asks to leave.  That unwanted house guest was the television.

I tell this story because just recently Vasili and I made the decision to cancel our cable and push ourselves to go out to enjoy real life more.  It’s been exactly one week and, though hard at times, I couldn’t be happier.  We’ve been cooking together and going on walks with the dogs through the park more often, spending more time with friends and *gasp* being more productive at home.

I dare you to try it, even if just for a month – at the very least, you’ll save yourselves a cable bill 🙂

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.
