I'm Bri.
Why did I became a photographer? Because I see the world and the people in it a little bit differently. A photo can be pretty, yeah that's cool, but what does it make you feel? Human interaction, body language, honesty and intimacy are the focus of my art and the reason why I adore my career. Capturing a photo is easy, but capturing life's little moments, touches and laughter in a way that makes you feel it over and over again...that is what photography is all about.
So who am I looking for? Honest couples, individuals and families who want to branch off from the typical "look here and smile" photos. Those confident in who they are right now regardless of what society says is "normal". I want the weirdos, the unashamed lovers and those who adore every single roll on their body. I am looking for real people, genuine connection and fun lovers who know the importance of never taking life too seriously.
In return I promise you a safe space to open up, my full support and attention to the things that matter most and exciting, meaningful images that are unique to you.
Some things that make me, me!
All the food.
If I could try all the food ever made on this earth, it would be a dream come true! I am always cooking my favorite meals from the countries I'v traveled and researching ways to make my food completely from scratch. I always thought that if I hadn't become a wedding photographer, I would have pursued being a chef.
Travel.
New cultures. Unfamiliar locations. Faces of all colors and wrinkles. Views of Mt. Everest from an airplane window. Children waving to me on the streets of Vietnam. Partaking in rich celebrations in India. The adrenaline rush of trying to catch transportation in a foreign country. When body language is the only language. This is my shit!
My Mikey.
My husband loves me for the embarrassing fireball that I am. He values time spent together, shut off from the world, just as much as I do. Best of all, he gives me the hard honest truth when needed while still always pushing me to be the best version of myself. Loving him and being loved by him is easily the most worthwhile aspect of my life.
Come as you are.
Be who you are.
