birth stories

When we honor the beginning, we honor everything that follows.

The birth of a child - or the birth of a family - is one of the most meaningful chapters in life. The moment your world changes. The moment you become someone new.

Whether I’m documenting pregnancy, birth, those first 48 hours, or your newborn at home, my approach is always the same - to create a space where you can simply be. To experience this new chapter of life as it is. To capture all the tiny details, the way your heart and home expands, the way you and your partner come together as a team.

Photographed on 35mm and medium format film, these sessions are guided by the same values at the heart of all my work: presence, honesty, and reverence for what’s real.

Because when we slow down enough to honor the beginning, we create anchors to return to and remember the truth. Proof of how deeply your children were loved from the very start, and what’s always worth holding onto. 

“Suzy has the most wonderful presence possible!
She’s always game to plan something fun or just come be with us for our shoots, which means we actually have fun during the photo shoots and the end product is always better than I could have imagined. I originally wasn’t sold on anything beyond a bump shoot, but working with Suzy now makes family photos one of my favorite parts of the year!"
