WELCOME IN,

I’M BRITTANY.

AND I DO

THINGS A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY AROUND HERE…



Documenting families in

Portland, or., salt lake city, Ut., +

Beyond!

I will never ask you to do anything cheesy + artificial. 

I believe that honest portrait photography requires trust and vulnerability, which can only come from building a genuine connection first. It’s at the core of everything I value most in life:


Connection to the earth, to our bodies, our people, music, art, education, love, pain, joy, and curiosity. 


During our time together is where all of these intrinsic elements will collide. Your portrait session is living, breathing art. A connection beast I have no desire to tame. My goal is to discover what’s already there below the surface to co-create something you can feel from the inside out—a tangible, relivable experience you can come home to again and again for decades to come. 

The

work

NEWBORNS//

WHERE YOUR HEART STARTS.

FAMILIES//

WHERE YOUR HEART IS.

SENIORS //

WHERE YOUR HEART'S GOING.

INTIMATE,

INTENTIONAL +

EMOTIVE


You’re someone who values true artistry—

The slow, intentional pursuit of what connects the heart to the soul.


The timeline is flexible but the details still matter:

The wardrobe, the aesthetic, the location, the playlist, the heirlooms,

all the little things…

If that’s what you’re about, then I’m your girl. 


Your bestie-for-hire, a photographer who appreciates all the intricacies of how your family love story speaks. You can count on it, babes! 


I KNOW the weight this work carries. I may take the first or last images of someone you love. I know there are no do-overs, no scripts or substitutions for real moments. 

You come to me in all of your glory, in all of your brokenness, in your healing journey, in your romantic love or self-discovery. Bring me your truth and I promise to show up and honour ever piece of it from start to finish. 


You need a photographer who understands your vision and deeply cares about your experience as much as you do. I will do that, every damn time, loves. 

Portrait + Family photography for people who want something

with a little flavor, a hint of nostalgia… something that is soulful, emotive and real. 

Always. 


Why me?

Why this work

is for you…

For the souls aching for something just a ’lil bit different...

Love notes from the best people…

“We had the honor of having Brittany photograph our wedding. She made us feel so comfortable and was amazing at giving direction. Despite all the craziness during the day, she was able to get the most gorgeous shots and we are forever thankful to have those memories of the day. Not only is she an amazing photographer, but she is truly such a kind and talented person. Her passion bleeds through her work, and we hope to be photographed by her again someday.
She is truly one of the best in the game!”
