She now lives in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Her beginnings in photography and art began when she was young. She would find boxes of black and white photographs in her grandmother's attic and ask all kinds of questions about the people and places she saw in them. Her favorite subject in grade school was art, and after school instead of playing outside, Suzanne could be found helping the art teacher refilling supplies and hanging other students' work. She continued with her art and photography throughout high school and college, when she received her first camera. She worked on the college yearbook while receiving a degree on journalism and marketing from St. Bonaventure University. Her career started in magazine publishing as a writer/editor and then ventured into print production.
