2026 PRICING
Working with me is a luxury photography experience. But luxury, to me, isn't about extravagance. It's about intention.
It's about slowing down enough to see what's real, and crafting an experience that honors that truth with care.
When you work with me, every detail is thoughtfully considered. From the way we plan the actual experience for your session, to the pace we move in while we're shooting, to how your images are curated and delivered. Every photograph is created on 35mm film - a medium that demands slowness, discernment, and observation.
My goal is to create more than just pretty photos. I want to give you artwork made out of real memories.
Because when something is made with that much intention - when it's not rushed, but truly seen - it becomes timeless (and priceless).
I’m so honored and grateful that you’re considering working with me.
Below, you'll find details outlining my collections, approach, and pricing. If you're interested in collaborating on something unique - whether that's a special project, event, or traveling to you (or with you) - fill out the contact form so we can connect. From there, I'll create a custom proposal designed just for you.
WELCOME
"WORKING WITH SUZY IS AN ABSOLUTE DREAM."

"IF YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY to WORK with SUZY, I CANNOT RECOMMEND HER ENOUGH."
Her ability to find the beauty in the everyday moments and to more importantly, help you see them, is a gift. It's easy to get caught up in the desire to capture the image of "perfection." Each time I get the photos back, it is a reminder that there's nothing more beautiful than just being present and connected with each other.
— Leah, Google Review
I approach every family session with the heart of an artist and the intuition of a storyteller. My goal isn't to stage a performance, but to create photographs that feel natural, cinematic, and alive. Images that carry both the beauty of fine art and the honesty of real connection.
After nearly two decades behind the camera, I’ve learned that the most meaningful photographs aren't the ones we plan. But the ones that happen when people feel safe to be themselves. My work balance good direction with spaciousness - enough guidance to help you feel at ease and look your best, and enough freedom for life to reveal whatever story is there to be told.
Whether we're documenting the simple, everyday routines of your family or a special adventure together, my approach is always the same. Presence over perfection. I want your photographs to feel like you - unposed, full of movement and genuine connection, an honest account of the season you're in (even if it's a hard one).
Because the most beautiful photos aren't just the ones that look prefect.
They're the ones that remind you how your life actually felt.
The SIMPLY BY SUZY APPROACH
"WE LOVED WORKING WITH SUZY. SHE is truly a DELIGHTFUL HUMAN AND A CALMING PRESENCE. SHE MADE OUR FAMILY FEEL so comfortable AND CAPTURED BEAUTIFUL, INTIMATE PICTURES OF US BONDING AT OUR HOME. HER PHOTOS ARE STUNNING AND WE WILL cherish them FOREVER."
- SAMMI, GOOGLE REVIEW
If you have ever held your parents' wedding album, flipped through your great grandmothers print archives, or admired an incredible photograph framed somewhere important - you understand what the value of this.
In a world where images pass quickly, printed work endures. I believe photographs reach their highest purpose and value when they become physical objects - crafted to be lived with in the home, preserved in family vaults, and passed down to future generations.
All albums and prints are created through a white-glove process, with careful attention to materials, scale, and longevity. These are not add-ons, but an essential part of the work itself. From fine-art albums to large-scale framed pieces, each is designed to take its place within your home or archive with intention.
What matters most is how the work lives beyond the moment it’s made. Whether displayed prominently or stored with care for future generations, these pieces are created to last.
