Review from: The W Family

Brianna has shot our family twice now and we could not be more happy with the results!  She is a pleasure to work with and makes everyone feel at ease, which is saying a lot from my 2 year old.  We love how relaxed the sessions are and we are able to just "hang out" as a family while she captures the fun.  We much prefer candid, natural shots to stiff,  posed ones and Brianna could not execute this more perfectly.  We are so happy to have found her and look forward to many more sessions in the future!

Review from: The K Family

Brianna – it was such a pleasure to work with you and I wanted to thank you for the wonderful photos of our family.  I cannot believe how perfectly the pictures reflect everyone’s personalities and I am in awe of the wonderful candid moments you were able to capture on film.  Your easygoing personality and relaxed style made everyone feel comfortable and the results were amazing.  The photos were all so wonderful that it was impossible for me to narrow them down and I am so appreciative that we were able to save them all to disk as part of our package.  Thank you so much and we look forward to many more family photo sessions with you in the future!

Review from: The L Family

We first were connected with Brianna after winning a contest put on by Wee Cycle. We were informed Monday morning that we'd won, and by the end of the day, we had scheduled our session for that Saturday. From the first moment, Brianna was friendly and accommodating, wanting to make sure that we were able to get together as soon as possible. Our daughter G had been sick with a cold most of the week, so Saturday morning we emailed Brianna, wondering out loud if we should reschedule. She was completely flexible and helpful, giving us her professional opinion about photographing sick kiddos, but leaving the final decision up to us and giving us half the day to make that call. We ended up going ahead as planned, and the day could not have worked out better. 
The weather was amazing, the setting - a simple corner around the corner from our house - was perfect, and Brianna was incredible. Supremely friendly and made all three of us - including our eight-month-old - comfortable from the minute we met. Within about forty minutes she'd gotten over a thousand shots, and by the next morning, there were over two hundred absolutely stunning photos on Flickr. We had flash drives with the files on them before the week was out, and six months later we're still arguing about our favorites.
Since that weekend in October, we've recommended Brianna to as many friends as we can (five sessions and counting). We've also been lucky enough to have her continue to photograph our family, including G's first birthday party in February. (After the party, Brianna realized she hadn't had a chance to get very many shots of G with Kate's mom, who was in from out of town, and offered to stop by the next day for a bit to get a few more pictures.) We simply can't say enough good and positive things about her, as both a photographer and a person. Brianna's level of talent and professionalism is unparalleled, her client-centered mode of doing business is forward-thinking and sensible, and we feel incredibly lucky to have been connected with her so randomly. We would hire her as our lifetime photographer if we could!
