What It’s Like Working With Me
When you book a session with me, don’t expect to spend the whole time standing still and saying “cheese.” I’m after the real smiles, belly laughs, little personalities, and genuine connections that make your family yours.
I’ll chase your kiddos around the park, blow bubbles, make ridiculous noises, tickle the kids — and probably tell Mom or Dad to tickle someone too. We’ll play, cuddle, explore, and let your kids be kids. Of course, I’ll make sure we get those beautiful everyone-looking-at-the-camera photos, but some of my favourite images happen in the moments in between.
I also genuinely love getting to know the families I photograph. By the end of your session, I want it to feel less like you hired a photographer and more like you spent some time hanging out with someone who happened to bring a camera.
And don’t be surprised if you see my own little crew wandering around the park! During busy session days, I love having my family nearby so I can sneak in some time with them between clients — and there’s a pretty good chance you’ll get a wave or a hello from one of my girls.
Come as you are. You bring your family, their personalities, and even a little bit of chaos — I’ll take care of the memories.

Best experience by far having a little one along, she had many games/activities to be interactive with my daughter to get her attention! Was super professional when it came to the pictures (the sun wasn't the best lighting and offered another whole shoot so the pictures were up to her standards) . I had the proofs 2 days later which was awesome! altogether such a lovely person to work with and will definitely be recommending/using in the future!!!

We just had our third session with Brianna and it was SO fun! She had the kids (and me!) laughing so hard we were crying. The kids were so silly, but the photos turned out SO good. I'm not sure how I'll narrow down the ones we choose. We're already looking forward to our next session with her!

Wow, just wow. Brianna did an absolutely incredible job taking our family photos. She was patient, positive, fun and silly. My kids (I have 5) are challenging to get photos of and yet Brianna did it and they look absolutely amazing. I will cherish these photos forever. Thank you so much!!!

If I could give more than a 5 stars I would!! Brianna is amazing!! She provides great direction and always makes photoshoots fun and easy. She knows how to get pets, toddlers and husbands to participate and share big smiles and laughter for the camera.
Brianna has done everything from our wedding photos to family photos. I love that we have a beautiful collection of memories perfectly captured over the years. Brianna is 100% the photographer you want to capture those special moments.

FAQ
01. How do we book you?
Yay! I’m so excited you’re thinking about booking a session with me!
Simply fill out the contact form on my website and tell me a little about what you’re looking for. I’ll get back to you with my availability, session information, and everything you need to get started.
Once we choose your date, you’ll receive your contract and invoice. Your session is officially booked once your contract is signed and your retainer or session payment has been received.
Please keep in mind that dates are first come, first served, and I’m unable to hold a date without completing the booking process.
 
02. Do you traveL?
 
Absolutely! I’m happy to travel depending on location and availability. Whether you have a favourite spot, a family property, or somewhere meaningful in mind, let me know when you inquire and we can chat about the details.
Travel fees may apply depending on the distance — but I’m always up for a little adventure!
 
03. How do you handle busy children?
 
Busy kiddos are always welcome! In fact, I never expect little ones to sit still and smile for an entire session — that’s just not realistic.
I’ll follow their lead, chase them around, play games, blow bubbles, make silly noises, and give them breaks when they need them. Sometimes the best photos happen when we stop trying to get the “perfect” picture and just let kids be kids.
Please don’t worry if your little one is shy, wild, silly, or simply not feeling photos that day. There’s no need to apologize. I’m a mama too, and I get it!
We’ll still sneak in those classic smiling-at-the-camera photos when we can, but my goal is to capture their real personality, genuine smiles, and your family exactly as you are.
 
04. Do you offer weddings?
 
Yes, we do! However, I only take on a limited number of weddings each year so I can give each couple the time, attention, and experience they deserve.
My approach to weddings is relaxed and genuine, capturing all the beautiful details alongside the real, candid moments happening throughout your day.
If you’re considering me for your wedding, I recommend reaching out as early as possible to check availability and tell me a little about your plans!
