Our experience for our maternity shoot was wonderful. Brittany was easy to communicate with & very responsive. She was flexible when our date needed to change due to pregnancy brain & weather. She is incredibly personable and definitely put as at ease as a couple that does not do professional modeling often. Our photos are gorgeous and something we will cherish forever.

Brittany was a dream to work with! She was very responsive and easy to communicate with. I had a vision for what I wanted in my maternity photos and she executed perfectly. She created the most beautiful boho bedroom in her studio and it was exactly how I pictured it to be. She’s extremely creative and makes it fun! She made us feel so comfortable and I’m normally the most awkward person in front of a camera. But with Brittany, it felt natural. I am in love with the photos! 😍

We had our maternity photo shoot with Brittany and our jaws hit the floor! The quality and color was exactly what we wanted! The location was absolutely perfect, our little toddler was in a great mood (Brittany knows how to get the kiddos to smile!) and I’m BEYOND happy with the results. We will cherish these photos forever and will be having Brittany take our special occasion photos for years to come. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!

testimonials
Bethany mentioned that she was torn between wanting a boho studio session and wanting beautiful, picturesque, outdoor Maternity Photos. So, I suggested we shoot both (since my studio is so close to Biltmore Estate), it would be easy to just pop over to the estate to capture some spring blooms and also some mountain views while we were at it!
