30a Family Photographer
Sometimes acting natural feels surprisingly… unnatural
Don’t worry. That’s exactly what I’m here for
Candid photos are the best, but let’s be real. When you’re not super comfortable in front of a camera (or when you have little bitties and husbands and extended family all in one picture), you might need a little direction.
As your 30a family photographer, I give you guidance and prompts so you don’t feel awkward (and so no one has their eyes closed or their tongue out in the photo that would have otherwise been everybody’s favorite).
Instead of feeling awkward, I get your kids laughing. I get you all interacting naturally together. I get you having fun.
“Brianna took pictures of my family that I will truly cherish forever. Our baby boy loved her too! I can go on for days on how fantastic our photos came out and how great Brianna is as a person and photographer!”
-Angela
Not your 90s beach photos
These are beach family photos where everyone looks like themselves
These are photos you can look back at in 10 years to remember the way your little ones laughed, or the gap between your seven-year-old’s two front teeth.
These are photos every generation can be happy with.
These photos belong in the album on the table in your family room. The ones that will hang on your walls. They’re the photos your kids will grow up with. They’re the photos that’ll be passed down to their kids one day.
Simply put, these photos are heirlooms.
“Bri is the very best Photographer that our family has ever hired! We hired her to take pictures of my family on the beach at sunset We all laughed and we had such a positive experience as she captured love, beauty, and affection in our pictures during sunset. When we received our photos they were beyond our expectations. When we contacted her she had prompt responses. She helped us pick the right outfits with coordinating colors. I’m telling you that she’s amazing! In addition, she’s sweet, caring, and has a fun attitude. Were enjoying all of the compliments that were receiving on all the pictures we ordered.” — Sherry
Family photos are absolutely worth it, but I know for mom the lead-up can feel stressful
Let me take the stress off your hands
From picking the perfect spot and time of day,
To coordinating outfits for all of your family members (even your 6’7” husband),
To giving you prompts that help you feel like yourselves and bring out your kids’ personalities,
Let me prove that you can trust me. I want you to enjoy this time with your family.
“Bri was an absolute JOY to work with. So laid back, sweet, professional and a lot of fun! I have 3 little kiddos and she helped them be themselves and enjoy the photo shoot! It was our best family portrait session we’ve ever experienced! I highly recommend Bri!” —Stephanie
Photos are meant to be seen
When you hang a photo of your beautiful family on the wall, you get to walk past it every day and be reminded, this is what I’m doing life for.
I don’t want these precious memories to become an unfinished project on your to-do list, which is why all of my packages already include prints (and digitals) you can keep forever. We can add on custom wall art, and we can even have it installed if you live in 30A.
You deserve photos in your home that help you remember what life’s all about.
