make the ordinary, extraordinary

document real life magic + moments

our generation doesn’t have enough photos of their childhood

and our children don’t have enough photos WITH their families!

Our generation doesn’t have enough photos of their childhood and our children don’t have enough photos WITH their family unless it was done with a forward facing camera, and let’s be honest are they really going to be able to tell one from the other when they’re all the same grainy closeups with minimal context clues and lack of life in the photo? 

how many times have you missed pictures, taken so many pictures you missed the moment or scrolled through the ones you took and wondered if you were even there? Leaning into the lifestyle documentary style photography let’s capture those everyday moments in the comfort of your home! 

We all have moments that the smells, sounds or actions bring us right back back to Friday night pizza parties, baking the cookies and the excitement of the season to come- let’s get the photos to match! a documentary style session ensures you’re in the photos AND the moment!

i’m a sappy mama + sentimental wife to my high school sweetheart always looking for new ways to freeze time and remember every little detail

authentic storytelling is my jam and doing so in a way that’s easy and fun for you is my mission!

Capturing the love you have for your family and all the little things that make each member unique is my favorite part of being a lifestyle photographer. I love getting to capture every moment from board games at home, farm chores on your homestead no matter how small, a day in the snow or making that secret family recipe together.

Brittney has captured our family, gender reveal, maternity newborn and I just scheduled our homestyle holiday -I love photos we get and how fun our session is!  and I love that we have real smiles and us in our everyday activities even more! Brittney was ready to lead races, spin ribbons and blow bubbles! I’ve never seen a photographer PLAY with our kids and encourage real laughter; by the end of our session our shy girls were giving her hugs and asking if she was going to come to our house to play with dolls with them.

Brittney was so amazing with my 2 year old daughter. She’s typically super shy and doesn’t say much around people she doesn’t know and she got her out of her shell! The images turned out STUNNING! I highly recommend Brittney for all your family photography needs!

We had the best time! We laughed SO much and even though I was really nervous beforehand Brittney made us feel super comfortable in front of the camera and we had the best time laughing! She’s definitely our photographer for life!
