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, beauty, and presence.
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 or medium format film - a medium that demands slowness, discernment, and deep seeing.
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.
WELCOME
"WORKING WITH SUZY IS AN ABSOLUTE DREAM."
We have done three sessions to date, and after our last experience booked another three more! She is truly gifted at creating beautiful, authentic family memories. We know her photos and the experience of creating them as a family will be something we will treasure forever.

"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 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 unfold when people feel safe to simply be themselves. My work balances gentle direction with spaciousness—enough guidance to help you feel at ease, and enough freedom for life to reveal whatever story is there to be told.
Whether we’re documenting the quiet, everyday routines or a special adventure with your favorite people, 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 perfect.
They’re the ones that remind you how your life felt.
"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, or flipped through your great grandmothers print archives, or admired an incredible photograph framed somewhere important - you know exactly what I'm talking about.
In a world filled with digital images, I believe printed images are a true heirloom. My streamlined process for ordering your album ensures that your images will live beyond your screens. My absolute favorite is not just creating framed prints and albums, but helping my clients to thoughtfully display them with intention. So they can be reminded of the thing they need to be reminded of every single day.
I'm based out of Chicago, and I frequently travel to NYC and California to work with clients regularly throughout the year. I also am available for travel to any other destination in the world that you would like to hire me to work with your family - whether that's for a personalized experience together, or a special family vacation you'd like captured in the most incredible way.
Inquire with me today to get more details on scheduling and travel to you.

"YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER'S FAVORITE PHOTOGRAPHER. HANDS DOWN, SUZY is who THE PROFESSIONALS CALL WHEN IT COMES to HAVING their own FAMILIES PHOTOGRAPHED."
Every experience in front of Suzy's camera has left us with not only the most gorgeous and truly treasured photos of our family (We have worked with Suzy for almost 12 years!), but also the loveliest escape to simply come as we are and just BE ourselves together in those moments, no expectations, no stress.
