Hey Mama! I’m Brittney.

I’m a lifestyle photographer, former preschool teacher and homeschooling mama who believes your family’s real life is worth remembering—the snuggles, belly laughs, tiny hands and beautiful chaos included.

My sessions are relaxed, child-led and designed around your family, whether we’re cozied up at home or exploring somewhere you love.

Why choose me as your photographer?

Sessions take place where your family feels safest and most comfortable- your home or a meaningful outdoor location.

As a former preschool teacher and homeschooling mama, I know kids need to be kids—no stressful posing, just plenty of patience, play and authentic connection.

I work with your routine, because I know how precious your time is with little ones.

From the moment we connect I’m here to guide you gently and make the process joyful and stress free.

What to Expect

01. We’ll plan.
We’ll chat about your family, what matters to you and where you’d feel most comfortable.

02. You live it.
No performing for my camera. We’ll play, snuggle, explore and let your family be your family.

03. You keep it.
You’ll receive a thoughtfully edited gallery filled with the people and little details you never want to forget.

let’s tell your story

a love for all the little details + the photos to remember your favorite things
