2026 Fall Family Sessions
HEARTFELT, ELEGANT, & BESPOKE PORTRAITS FOR THE BUSY MOTHER WHO VALUES CUSTOM ARTWORK IN HER HaNDS and ON HER WALLS
A quick note on what makes my sessions different
My clients aren't looking for a folder of digital files that sits untouched on a hard drive. They want tangible art. They want to hold their images in their hands in an heirloom album, see them on their walls every single day, and experience photography the way it was meant to be enjoyed, as art, not just a file.
Every session I offer is built around that goal. If this sounds like what you want this season, I'd be honored to serve your family!

I keep my fall calendar intentionally light, typically 1-2 session dates per week, so I can give each family the time, care, and creative energy they deserve. When a week is full, I remove it from availability rather than squeeze in more sessions.
A few important dates to keep in mind:
1. I am not scheduling family sessions after November 17. This gives me the time I need to finish editing, designing, and ordering your artwork before my holiday break.
2. December sessions are reserved exclusively for newborns.

Petite Sessions include a digital style guide to help you plan outfits, but does not include wardrobe, hair and makeup coordination, or a pre-session planning appointment. Custom artwork design and a reveal and ordering appointment are available upon request.
A 10 to 15 minute session that allows me to schedule 4-6 families back-to-back on the same date. Choose from a list of pre-selected dates and locations. Minis are only offered if I have availability remaining after Full and Petite Sessions are booked. Includes a digital style guide. Offers limited poses and a limited digital preview gallery (10-20 images).

THE TRUE BHP EXERIENCE!

As a mom, it’s a rare and precious opportunity to step in front of the camera and become part of the captured memories. Brenna has the extraordinary talent of making that happen effortlessly.
Her warmth, patience, and keen eye for detail make the whole experience a delight rather than just a photoshoot.
- Lauren N.
Brenna makes my whole family feel so comfortable and at ease.
Even when my toddler is having a moment, Brenna rolls with it and gets beautiful photographs that capture my family the way I want to remember these moments.
- Amanda S.
My husband and I both are not big fans of getting our picture taken but knew we needed to document this special time in our lives. Brenna made us feel so incredibly comfortable.
Brenna made me feel so comfortable and at times even helped adjust my hair, my dress, etc. We could not recommend Brenna more!
- Megan W.
Yes, you want a portrait experience that’s not just enjoyable but also memorable and personal. You want a photographer whose style speaks to you, but, more importantly, understands how to turn moments into memories and make them last forever in the form of custom artwork and heirlooms.
*Hint: I can do that for you ;-)
It’s not just about the pictures. It's about the experience.
