“This is her home. Being in his arms is her home.”
-I chose these shots not because they are perfect, sharp or exceptionally lit, but because they aren’t. That’s why I love them. I looked at them and could feel an intimacy; their sweet intimacy, their story. These shots may not be everyone’s first choice, but when my bride tells me her heart is exploding with love for these, you bet your sweet ass I’m gonna cry. I think my favorite shot of my own wedding was of my husband’s beautifully callused, sun kissed hand on the skin of my lower back...felt better than the sun could ever make my skin feel.

“No calling is greater, nobler, or more fulfilling than that of motherhood.”
-This sweet + beautiful adventure in Oahu pulled at my heartstrings. Really hard. Like, really, really hard. Capturing this type of love is unreal. Ps. I’m about to trade Oregon for Oahu, if Oregon doesn’t freakin shape up with it’s weather, I’m packing our bags. Probably not, I own too many damn flannels to fit in at the beach.

“I’m the happiest me, when I’m with you.”
-How the husband carried my ass into the house yesterday after being away from him for about 2 weeks. I think he missed me. Heading to the coast for a beautiful session, it’s seriously one of my favorite places to shoot! Thinking of having a full weekend of beach shoots! All the sandy asses and toes!! Shit, I need my own damn beach session with my little fam!

“Motherhood is messy. And challenging. And crazy. And sleepless. And giving. And still, unbelievably beautiful.”
-This session still has me at a loss for words. This location, this mama, her babies, her dress. It all lit a fire in me and I so needed it. Oahu, thank you for this sweet unforgettable adventure! Ps. This algorithm wants me to fail, it’s being a stubborn bitch.

“With the right person it feels simple. Even when it’s difficult it feels simple. Because you never question if it’s worth it. You know the answer is yes.”
-Oahu, you were so good to me. And this right here accurately depicts my mood the entire time. This trip I got to create some amazing shoots + challenge myself with light and so much more. My soul needed it. Not to mention this babes booty makes me need to do squats, like...a lot.

“I’ve already imagined a lifetime with you. And I’ve loved every single day of it. Will you marry me again in the next lifetime.” -On Saturday these sweet souls wandered around the gorge with me. It was incredible weather + cold as hell, but damn beautiful. We couldn’t think of a better way to capture and celebrate their engagement than to dance around the gorge! Can’t wait to share more! .

“The woman who does not require validation from anyone, is the most feared individual on the planet.”
-Trying to resist posting multiple posts today! I have worked with + photographed so many incredible women it’s amazing. They are amazing! I want to show them all off. But for starters this gem needs to be shown again! So ladies, cheers to you, Happy International Women’s day!

“They are the beat of my heart, the pulse in my veins, and the energy of my soul. They are my children...”
-Probably the longest I have gone without posting. Shit, in all honesty time got away from me. Sorry for being MIA friends. Thought it would be a good time to do an introduction. But here’s the thing, I’m not showing my face (1. being I don’t have a decent profeshhh shot of myself lol) but because THEY ARE ME. My entirety, my being, who I am folks. They are the most interesting thing about me that I could share with you guys; they laugh just as often + as loud as I do. They are crazy about their dad just as I am, my world is significantly bright because of them and the way they look at me and love me. So hi, I’m Brandy, this is me, meet my Heart + Soul.

“Anyone can be passionate, but it takes real lovers to be silly.”
-This type of emotion because it’s Friday AND my baby girl has her first ever Daddy + Daughter dance tonight! Secretly wanting to crash it just so I can get tons of video of those two tearing up the dance floor! My friend made a good point-where the hell are the Mama + son dances??! .
