Chad + Dierdra | wedding sneak peek

There are presents to wrap. At least one more present to buy. Food to cook. Food to buy so that it can be cooked. And it goes on and on. But in spite of it all, the only thing on my mind is sharing a teeny tiny sneak peek for my beautiful friend Dierdra and her new hubby, Chad. They married last weekend. I won’t say much, save it all for later when I share a slideshow next week.. or the next. We’ll see..

For now. My stunning friend… I have to show two. I am sorry. And it killed me to only show two. There are more. Oh so many more….



Dierdra looking back to say “really? Brandy, here? and in case you haven’t noticed… I’m cold.” But I love the wintry look of these images.


Congratulations! More to come… (FYI readers… I am vowing to do better… don’t give up on me. This fall kicked my bloggin’ booty. New Years Resolutions will have something to do with blogging…)

The Esposito Family | lifestyles

This was an unusual shoot for me. All adult interaction, no lying about butterflies, Cinderella, or gasping for no particular reason to see if it will give me some of that much coveted eye contact. Nope. This family rocked. They just went in with their game on and well… see for yourself.

the beautiful daughter and handsome sons.

I am sure this is more like it…

And this was really hard. Choosing one picture each kid.



and again.. maybe…the Esposito’s in their true form?

Am I back? Two blog posts in one week?

The Beaver Family | lifestyles

I am alllll random over here. Blogging here. Blogging there. Not blogging here. Not blogging there. I usually blog every session. This fall I was thankfully verrrry busy. And the only downfall to that is, blogging took a back seat. So, I am going to just keep on blogging here, blogging there. And as things slow down over here, I will do better. Scouts honor.

In the meantime, the Beaver Family. Absolutely gorgeous. Absolutely a blast to work with. Need I say more? Look at these faces!



heartbreaker. mark my words.

The Whittons | lifestyles

Do I still have readers?  I have a laundry list a mile long that would account for my absence as well as “the crazy” that is is my life right now. A month ago, my friend, Tara, decided she was going to “commit to crazy” until January. I laughed. I like that, I said. I decided I, too, would commit to crazy. Take anything that comes my way, buckle down and just get through. While I am coming off the pillow at the speed of light only to have my TO-DO list run circles around me… I have been given the awesome privelidge to capture beautiful families like this. It reminds me the sacrifice of crazy is totally worth it.

This is the Whitton Family. Beautiful, cover model family. No lie. Who called and wants their cover ad? I don’t know, but somebody should.

I love these babies.

**sigh**

Did I mention this family is also our neighbors? This sweet face is a dear friend to my sweet Claire.

is she too much, or what?


double *sigh* with my hand to my forehead for effect.



and last, but not least, Mom and Dad. Hotties? I think so.

The Martin’s & Wiley’s | holiday sessions

I know, I know!!!! Shame on me. I know. I knoooooow.  I have been, like many photographers during this time of year, drowning in my workflow. And sadly, blogging has taken a back seat. I am not even going to try and elaborate, it just is what it is, and now, I am back… for a little while at least, to share with you a teeny tiny peek at these two beautiful families I shot during my holiday shoot.  I am sure they won’t mind, they are great friends and share life together, so I thought they could share the 15 seconds of blog-dom with each other as well!

Ok. Ok. This is the Martin Family. I know I say this a lot. a lot, but these kids… Be still my beating heart is all I have to say. I was culling their images and emailing mommy at the same time going “why do you not have these kids college funds finished and paid for by their modeling careers?” Ok, I didn’t say that exactly, but something like it. I said it a million times on the day of the shoot and close to that last year when I first shot this family… but at the risk of sounding redundant, I gotta say it again. And again. And again. These kids are beautiful.



I am going to sneak this one in here so you can see Lauren’s outfit. Christine’s friend makes these and has her own Etsy store. LOVED it. Sooooo cute. Her Etsy Store.


The whole family, you know, doing what they do. Strolling through hiking trails in their sunday best. Ha!

And the Wiley’s. Again, with the beautiful children, but why isn’t these kids’ college fund paid for by MOMMY’s modeling carreer??? Yes, the kids are stunning, but I gotta say it. Mommy is a hottie.

cuties. cuties. cuties. I saw this image and wanted to reach in and squeeze these sweet babies all smiling like the little Gymboree Ad they are. And together no less! Sibling shots are hard and I am going to go ahead and say it, we rocked this sibling shot.

Oooh la la. Mom and Dad are kinda into each other.

Daddy loves his babies, it was written all over him. All strong and masculine until he’s holding these sweet things.

Marshall + Mia + 2 | lifestyles

This session was a blast. The light. The colors. The family. And best of all, their daughters and I were fast friends. We chose the perfect day, the perfect time and the perfect location, so we landed some pretty great shots. This series was taken last. The road is sentimental. It leads from Mia’s parents’ home to her home. There were several in the series that I loved, but I am having to practice restraint by showing you just one.

I say this often, but what I wouldn’t give to have a sweet sister shot of my babies. They always seem to be pulling at each other’s hair and scowling… not these sweet girls.

Big sister “M”

Little sister “M”

These last two are so fun to me. So happy I can almost hear the soundtrack playing…


I hope you enjoyed your teeny tiny sneak peek!!! I had a blast, thank you for letting me capture your family!
