2026 PRICING
This work is for those who understand that legacy is not only built through wealth, but through memory, story, and the careful preservation of a life well lived. My role is to document that life with clarity, restraint, and intention. So it can be remembered not just by you, but by generations who follow.
Each commission is thoughtfully designed around your family’s history, relationships, and the chapters you wish to preserve. From planning through final presentation, the process is approached with discretion and care, resulting in artwork created to endure.
All art is produced exclusively on 35mm and medium format film. A medium chosen for its presence, longevity, and depth. The final body of work is not a collection of images, but an archival record: art meant to be lived with, safeguarded, and passed down.
So the story of your life is told for generations to come.
I’m so honored and grateful that you’re considering working with me.
What follows outlines my collections, approach, and pricing. If you’re interested in collaborating on something more bespoke - whether that’s a multi-day commission, a significant event, or travel - please reach out through the contact form. From there, I’ll create a proposal tailored specifically to you and the story you wish to preserve.
WELCOME

"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.

I approach every commission with the eye of an artist and the responsibility of a documentarian. My work is not about staging moments, but about recognizing what matters. And preserving it with clarity, intention, and care.
After nearly two decades behind the camera, I’ve learned that the most meaningful work is rarely planned. It emerges when people feel unobserved, unhurried, and trusted. My role is to create that environment - guiding when needed, and stepping back when the story speaks for itself.
Each project balances discernment with restraint. Enough structure to shape a narrative. Enough space for life to unfold as it is. The result is work that feels natural, cinematic, and deeply considered - art that reflects not just how your life looked, but how it was lived.
Whether documenting an everyday chapter or a defining moment, the approach remains the same: to create an honest record worthy of preservation. Work that belongs in your family’s archive. Not made for trends or the present moment, but for the generations who will one day look back and understand where they come from.
Because the most enduring work doesn’t chase perfection.
It tells the truth.
And it lasts.
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.
