REDEFINING WHAT FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY feels like

I've been on a mission for the last 18 years to transform the family photo experience from a dreaded obligation into something for families that is fun and meaningful. As a mom of 3 kids, I understand how much we carry as parents in our roles as provider and disciplinarian. My most cherished work is using the family photo session as an opportunity to help parents step out of these roles and enjoy the privilege of being with each other, and their children. So you can take a few hours to actually enjoy and appreciate the life you're working so hard to build.

The Artist

Suzzane

My name is Suzy and for the last 18 (almost 19 years), I've had the absolute honor and privilege of photographing families during their life's greatest moments (and I have the smile lines to prove it). I absolutely love photography, and I am extremely good at what I do. But my best, most important work has been helping people connect with their families. So they can see and appreciate all of the things that are so wonderful about their life.

"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 PORTFOLIO

Whether it's welcoming a new baby, the story behind your brand, or just the hilariously beautiful chaos of life with your kids... Whatever it is, I want to photograph what it feels like. I want to make photos to be loved and experienced now. Passed down and appreciated forever.

The PORTFOLIO

The SIMPLY BY SUZY EXPERIENCE

This isn't about posing for the camera. It's about slowing down and being together. So I can reflect back to you what is so beautiful and wonderful about whatever season of life you're in (especially if it's a hard one). 

"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.
