Capturing real & beautiful moments for your family to treasure for generations.
Our memories live on in our minds, stories and photos. Your children or the generations beyond will see your photos as heirlooms and feel the energy you were creating in your life.
For those living a childfree existence, our pets are our children. These magical beings take us into their hearts and we become their entire world. Our fur families are only with us for a short time and these relationships are just as valuable and worthy of documentation.
Whomever you call family, let's capture these fleeting moments and turn them into tangible memories.
Once you reach out, we’ll chat so I can get to know your family's story and recommend the collection that best suits your needs. If we click, we'll book your session with a contract & retainer. We'll schedule a call to fully plan out your session and I'll provide you with location ideas, wardrobe tips, ideas for activities, and general guidelines to help your session flow so you can relax and enjoy the process.
Today's the day! I'll provide prompts to help you find comfort with the camera, but mostly I'll just hang out and let the magic happen. I take a storytelling approach with guidance where needed.
About a week after your session I'll reach out to schedule your reveal session. We'll watch a slideshow with all of your beautiful photographs, a sample keepsake album, and some wall art examples. I'll help you choose your favorite photographs and then we'll design your artwork together. We get nostalgic and you get to relive this moment again and again with photographs you'll cherish forever.
"She listens with intent and truly cares about you"
"From my first exchange with Briana, I just knew it was the right match and would be such a fun experience! She is incredibly warm, kind, understanding and genuinely interested in capturing your story the way you want it told. She listens with intent and truly cares about you. She was patient with all my questions and nervousness, and I felt like I was always talking to a friend. Yet, she maintains a high level of professionalism every step of the way.
The photo shoot itself was a blast! I took all of Briana’s advice about attire, makeup, etc., and am so glad I did! The two hours flew by and we got the most incredible photographs! Briana is very talented and the moments she captured will be cherished forever!
There are not enough amazing things we can say about Briana, but one last thing to note - we already have, and will continue to, recommend her to anyone we know. You will not regret working with her for one minute! She takes care of her clients and is invested in you."

In this one hour photography session we will capture a few fleeting moments of your family. This life passes us by quickly so don't let a tight schedule hold you back from capturing a few precious memories of your family in this moment.
This collection includes 5 digital photograph downloads of your choice and travel anywhere within Portland city limits.
An easeful photography session that allows for mini breaks (as needed) and plenty of time to capture the essence of your family whether you stay home or venture outside.
This collection includes 10 digital photograph downloads of your choice and up to 1 hour of travel from Portland.
This is the most relaxed of photography sessions & the best way to turn your photo session into an experience you'll remember. We spend a full day together while I document the magic between you and your loves.
This collection includes 20 digital photograph downloads of your choice and up to 2.5 hours of travel from Portland.
We want to capture your kids and/or pets in their natural state of freedom and fun.
I encourage candid, organic photos that reflect the honest personalities of your family.
I’ll help you stay away from overly matchy clothes and awkwardly posed photos, so these images will be cherished and proudly displayed.
I will be your co-conspirator to help you find the right location(s), fun ideas for props, creative activities, and provide tips for natural outfits.
I’ll take these details off your plate so you can show up and be present with your family, trusting that you’ll receive beautiful, creative, and honest images.
Capturing your kids at any age is incredibly validating for them. It proves to them that, in any stage of life, they are loved, respected, and seen.
Even if your kids feign disinterest in family photos, they will appreciate you later for allowing them to be themselves, dress the way they want, and (most importantly) know that they are a valued part of the family.
Family photos are not just for people with little ones. They are for any season of life.
These family portraits are not about trying to capture an idea of perfection. They are about capturing the true story of your family, just as they are, in this moment in time.
Before our session, I’ll get to know your family and their individual personalities. On the day of your session we can get playful to help everyone feel comfortable, free, and expressive. If we need snack time, a diaper change, to slow down or play games, that is all apart of your reality.
I hope to capture honest moments in your life, even if your kids or pets are being silly, dirty, or restless.
Hi, I’m Briana—photographer, artist, animal lover, and devoted fan of a cozy afternoon. If you’re new here, welcome. I’m so glad you’re here.
I photograph weddings, families, and honest, artful moments of love. My work is rooted in storytelling, nostalgia, and the belief that your life is something to be treasured.
Outside of photography, you’ll usually find me with a book in one hand and a dog curled up at my feet. I’m deeply in love with my animals (yes, my cats are dramatic and my dogs are spoiled), and I spend most of my free time reading or making pottery.
My lifestyle is best described as casual but tasteful. I adore nice things—especially if they’re handmade, sustainably made, or secondhand. I’m a sucker for beautiful lighting, good design, and well-made clothes with a story behind them.
After the world slowed down in 2020, I discovered how much I craved a slower pace, and I’ve been living with intention ever since. I believe in savoring the little things, honoring the seasons, and creating a life that feels as beautiful as it looks.
If you’re someone who values meaning over trends and beauty in the everyday—I think we’ll get along just fine.

Joe had been planning this moment for months. Quietly encouraging Amanda to treat herself to manicures. Secretly hand-crafting a sign that read Mr. & Mrs. Hatzinikolis. Quietly orchestrating one of the most meaningful surprises of their lives.
Long Beach, Washington has always been a special place for them. A favorite coastal escape. So on a quiet day in the dunes, Amanda followed a familiar path—completely unaware of what was waiting for her.
Her parents had lovingly placed Joe’s handmade sign on the city’s post. Nearby, they left a bottle of champagne and a set of Amanda’s special wedding crystal—gifted to her years ago, waiting patiently for this very day.
That’s when Joe asked her to marry him.
I was there too, hiding in plain sight—just another beachgoer with a camera, quietly documenting the whole thing.
After the proposal, Joe surprised Amanda with dinner at The Pickled Fish and one more thoughtful twist: an extra day off work so they could soak it all in together before returning to real life.
It was such an honor to witness and preserve this milestone for them. These are the moments that become heirlooms—the kind you’ll look back on and feel all over again.
Let’s talk about value.
Wedding photography isn’t just a line item on your planning checklist—it’s an investment in how your story will live on.
The cake will be eaten. The dress carefully packed away. But your photographs are what remain—growing more meaningful over time as your memories deepen.
I don’t take that lightly. I believe in capturing your love with artful integrity, honoring your story in every frame, and turning those images into heirlooms.
If you’re planning a 2026 wedding and care deeply about the legacy you’re building, I’d love to talk about what I can create for you.
Reach out before June 1 to secure current pricing.
Life moves fast. Let’s remember it slowly.

There’s something special about seeing your love story preserved in a tangible, lasting way. This black-and-white film photograph, taken on my vintage Rolleiflex, was captured with intention—one slow, meditative frame at a time. The way the light sparkles through the trees, the quiet intimacy of the moment—it all feels timeless.
Photographs aren’t just memories; they’re heirlooms. They deserve to live beyond a screen, to be seen and felt every day. A framed print transforms your space, grounding it in love and meaning.
If you’ve been waiting to print your images, consider this your sign. Let’s create something beautiful for your home.
The world feels heavy right now. More than ever, we need healing, softness, and moments of peace. We need to hold close the small joys, celebrate the ones we love, and find solace in the beauty around us.
Lately, I’ve been grounding myself in the simple things—listening to birdsong in the morning, slowing down to be present with my fur babies (especially as we welcome a new puppy), and finding deeper meaning in my work. Because photography, at its heart, is about preserving love, stillness, and joyful abandon—even when the world makes it hard to feel those things.
Where are you finding peace these days? I’d love to hear. ❤️
Valentine’s Day is a beautiful reminder that love is everywhere—not just in the grand gestures, but in the quiet, everyday moments. The way your partner reaches for your hand. The laughter shared over morning coffee. The hugs that feel like home.
I feel so lucky to spend my days capturing love stories—on wedding days, in cozy homes, in golden fields, and in the little in-between moments that make life so special.
However you’re celebrating today—with a partner, with friends, or simply by loving yourself—I hope your heart feels full. 💛
