A LIVING ARCHIVE
of your
FAMILY'S LIFE
I work with families who understand the value of legacy. Not just wealth, but history.
My role is to document the story you’re building: the relationships, traditions, and moments that will one day become your family’s archive.
Photographed exclusively on 35mm and medium-format film and offered as heirloom-scale framed works and albums, this is not photography for today. It is art for a lifetime.

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.
"AND... MY HUSBAND, HE THANKED ME FOR TALKING HIM INTO HIRING SUZY"
These photos are so meaningful and special to us and I can’t imagine anyone else capturing him quite like Suzy did.

The SIMPLY BY SUZY EXPERIENCE
This is not about posing for the camera. It is about creating space for your life to unfold... naturally, honestly, and without interruption. Each experience is approached as a private commission, photographed on 35mm and medium format film with intention and restraint. The result is a body of work designed to live on as part of your family’s archive. Art made not just for today, but for generations to come.
"You'll never want anyone else to take photos after you see what she can do."
Suzy is a true talent and takes her photography to another level. She is so easy to work with and has a gentle sweet way with the kids.
