Her Story

Hey there. I'm Bree, and I hope my story helps you understand why I do what I do.

Maternity, birth, and newborn photography was never going to be my focus. Then I had a baby. And it was life-changing. Don't call me a cliche yet though, because I wasn't one of those moms who loved being pregnant, or who was super prepared. Yes, I was excited for the baby, but the pregnancy…not really. I became a mom 4 years ago when I married my husband, and I thought I got the best of both worlds…an incredible son without the stress of labor! I'm being a little tongue-in-cheek, but you get the idea.

Then, I had her, our sweet Addie, and I was floored. I just got it. I finally understood the magic of carrying a baby, and those crazy fast nine months meant SO much more. 

But I couldn't go back and get any more pictures of those 9 months together (I was too modest and unsure of my changing body to really have any photographs taken of me). I couldn't go back and hire somebody to photograph the weekend of her birth, even though it was the most amazing, emotional, and breathtaking of events.

Fortunately I got my wits about me and did hire a newborn photographer. But I don't want anyone else to look back and wish.  So that's why I'm here…to photograph these precious times, so that you can always always always return, through your photos, to the magic of becoming a mom; whether for the first time or the fifth.

Bree is a mom, wife, daughter, sister, photographer, and Christ-follower.

She grew up in the Texas Hill Country, and has called the DFW metroplex her home for almost 15 years now. She graduated with a degree in Photography and Education and has slowly worked her way through different facets of photography to finally arrive here. At a spot where she feels she is best able to use her heart and her eye to serve clients during some of the most meaningful times of their lives.

5/14/19. Addie’s last day, ever, of @ucc_weekday_school. I can’t even explain the emotions of knowing she won’t be returning here next year. This precious school has been such a treasure; giving her the gift of play, learning, best buddies, and sweet teachers. And that little magical secret garden.... 😍 I don’t think she realizes she’s not coming back, as she mentions her “UCC school” often, but I don’t have the heart to explain it to her yet 😭 Also, if you’ve gotten this far, thanks for allowing me to share my family photos weeks (months) late for the sake of having them saved somewhere. My summer goal of getting all personal photos edited and family albums created is clearly going well 🤪
Happy Friday! ☀️ Hoping your weekend is filled with family memories, sweet treats, and sticky kisses 🍦
Meet baby Winslow 🎀👑The star of that last maternity shoot a few slides back ✨✨ Mamas, can’t you just feel that little hand on your chest?! 💞
Make no mistake, I *will* make every attempt to get you a beautiful family photo where everyone is looking at the camera. Even as a lifestyle photographer, who lives for the unscripted moments, I do love getting a family photo where we’re all smiling. But I also love seeing my kids personalities, and how they relate and interact with one another, and with us. So yes, these photos (all probably taken within the first 10 minutes of me arriving) are some of my very favorites from this sweet family’s newborn session 😍
