The person behind the camera
Hi, I'm Susie.
I notice the little things.
I'm a New York City family photographer based on the Upper West Side. For over 15 years, I've photographed families, children, newborns, and dogs—finding the extraordinary in the familiar.
As a former teacher, I know children don't need to perform to make a beautiful photograph. I'll give you enough direction to feel comfortable, and enough space for something real to happen.
Central Park, Riverside Park, your favorite neighborhood corner, or the comfort of home. We'll find a place that feels like you.
Say hello ↗An easy beginning
You don't have to know
what to do. That's my part.
Start with your people.
Tell me who's coming, what you'd love to remember, and any worries you have. We'll choose the right session and a location that suits your family.
A little walk. A lot of you.
I'll guide you through the session, with room for play, pauses, and the unexpected. Your children can be children. Your dog can be a dog.
More than a good picture.
A personal gallery of photographs to download, print, share, and return to. A way to remember how this season of your life felt.
Your life is already worth remembering.
