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

A very happy belated birthday to Miss Stella whose first birthday party I photographed this summer.  She is so stinkin’ adorable, loves lollilops and learning to walk, and now also goes by the alias “Monkey.”  Aside from a lot of fun, her party was totally amazing because Stella’s mom and the rest of her family handmade every decoration, snack tray, label, you name it.  It was a DIY success for sure.  Anyway here’s some of my fave images from both her newborn session and one year.  Thanks so much to her family for allowing me to capture her both way back then and now 🙂

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.
