The 3 Most Common Moments That Derail a Family Session
The dad who doesn't want to be there. The mom who keeps fixing everything. The kid who says no to everything. I teach you exactly what I do in each one.
Hi, I'm Suzy
I've spent the last 18 years turning family photos from a dreaded obligation into something families look forward to.
I'm a family photographer in Chicago, a film shooter, and a mom of three. Now I teach photographers how to do the same.
I also host Finding Joy, a podcast for family photographers.
