what to expect

a little chaos

Kids involved? Obviously there will be a little chaos - in the BEST possible way.
Don't worry, with the proper preparation, you will be on board with whatever energy your family brings that day.

heirloom memories

Every family gallery is curated to balance the pretty with the real. Your gallery will reflect your families personality through artistic images you'll be proud to display

I can roll with all the punches, and I proudly bring my laid-back energy to every family session.
Never will I add to your stress - get ready for a chill hang with your girl.

laid-back energy

from zoe + steve

"Brittany is not only incredibly talented but so patient and kind. Over the years, she has captured our family beautifully. Her ability to roll with it and somehow get the shot is something we admire and is hard to find in a photographer. Every photo we have is our favourite! If you’re looking for someone who truly cares not only about your family pictures that will last a lifetime but also creating a calm and relaxed atmosphere in the process - she’s your girl!

from steph + ian

"WE HAVE HIRED BRIT FOR OUR ENGAGEMENT, WEDDING AND NEWBORN SHOOT, AND SHE NEVER DISAPPOINTS! We originally chose Brittany to take our engagement photos because of her beautiful work. We keep coming back to her because of her talent, bubbly personality and ability to make us feel at ease. We're so happy that we chose Brittany, and we will continue to ask her to capture more of our big moments to come."

from jameson + brandon

“Brittany is our favourite photographer hands down, there is nobody better. She has been there to capture every big & important event in our lives and we are so happy she has! She is patient with our kids and dog and always captures the best moments!  Her pictures make our gallery wall complete, nobody else I would entrust with capturing all of our special moments.”

from lindsey + kurt

 “Our whole experience start to finish was amazing. We were initially very nervous , however, Brittany made us feel completely at ease and her creativity shone through. The images were not only beautifully captured, but also full of genuine emotion and character. Brittany’s talent for using the space to its fullest potential truly impressed us, and her easy-going nature made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free."
