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.

Kids are so intuitive. It’s Spring, and I’ve been missing my dad a lot. Additionally, Adalyn has been asking daily when we get to see Pepaw. When we get to go to the beach with him. If there are beaches in heaven. When can we go? Why can’t we see him now? And somehow it’s as if she feels that this time of year is when we would see so much of him. Spring has always been so special, so anticipated, by myself and our little family. This is always the portion of the year in which we spend a lot of time in the Hill Country. My home. It’s the time of year we watch my favorite place in the world come alive with flowers and sunshine, and its the time of year we do the things that I always dreamed of doing with these precious kids once I became a mom...visting the creeks and rivers and parks and living history museums I grew up with; frequenting the small town coffee and donut shops I’ve always loved; and just showing them the simple, small, pleasures of this special place. There was always Mexican food, and wildflowers, and Salt Lick, and cascarones, and tree climbing, and the local yearly festival, and I loved every bit of it. And so did my children. And I’m just feeling the absence of it all pretty deeply right now. Sharing just a handful of Spring photos here (there were so many) because as hard as they are for me to look at, I know they're special.
I don’t know when spring became like fall but it is bananas over here. Just all. the. stuff. One more day of work and then two full days of rest and rejoicing ✝️🐰💐🐣Hope you all have a wonderful weekend 💞
This rainy day newborn session was as sweet as it looks. Some of my other favorites in Stories today ☺️
✨Last minute booking option✨I have an open bluebonnet session TONIGHT. I had a client need to reschedule, which means now all weekday evenings are booked. I fear this is the last week for good blooms, so this will be my last opening. If you are like me and hopelessly devoted to this special flower, let me know ASAP. 💙 (These are my kids. This was after bath in our neighborhood. Your location is even better 🙌🏼)
