I recently had the pleasure of working with Brea and I can honestly say that the experience was amazing from start to finish. The phone consultations and preparation were exactly what I needed to feel more at ease. Brea and her talented makeup artist created a relaxed atmosphere that made me feel truly special. Initially, I was very nervous, but by the end of the session, I felt incredibly empowered. Seeing my photos was nothing short of breathtaking and emotional. I would highly recommend this experience to any woman, especially those going through a significant life change. It allows you to see yourself in a different light and embrace your beauty—more beautiful than you ever thought possible. It truly is a wonderful gift to yourself! Less
Had an experience that was amazing. Brea is awesome and made me so comfortable. Highly recommend! So fun and beautiful pictures. Feel Empowered and so confident! Thank you
The hardest part was choosing what to wear and battling inner voices prior to the session. But Brea is a natural at making introverts like me feel at home and made the rest so easy by telling me exactly what to do. I didn’t have to think until we previewed the shots. And wow, I honestly thought I wouldn’t be able to find 30 I liked. Instead I LOVED 70 of the images and it was so hard to choose. T... More

And wow, I honestly thought I wouldn’t be able to find 30 I liked. Instead I LOVED 70 of the images and it was so hard to choose. The best part was seeing myself in a way I never could without her artful eye. Do it! I did it as a gift but it may have brought me more joy. I’ve been giddy and can barely contain the surprise for my partner. Less

Brea and her staff are amazing at making you feel comfortable and calming any nerves you might have in doing a boudoir shoot. I had an amazing experience and would recommend Brea to anyone who wants to step outside their comfort zone and do a boudoir shoot. Thank you Brea for the amazing and fun experience!!!
Heading into my shoot I was so nervous, but after walking into the studio - Brea and Lauren (hair & makeup) had me so comfortable! My preview pictures were amazing and I can't wait to get the pictures and the album! I loved this first experience, and it definitely won't be the last!

Brea and her hair and makeup artist made me feel so comfortable and relaxed. Through out the session Brea explained everything and made it so easy to follow. I went in there not really liking my body and being at a war with it. While being there and seeing everything my body can do and see myself through a different lense has helped me grow appreciation for it. Thank you Brea for making me feel confident in my own skin for the first time. Less
I had my very first boudoir session today with Brea. I’m a plus size girl and very insecure about my body.

She is so easy to talk with. Instantly you feel like you’ve known her for years. The posing wasn’t as awkward as I thought it was going to be. Brea shows you how to pose and talks you through it all. I was honestly dreading the reveal at the end and was praying to not hate how I looked. Let me tell you that Brea is magic behind that camera lens!! I loved so many of my pictures! It was actually quite hard to narrow them down and not completely blow my budget. Thank you so much Brea for giving me this opportunity to feel beautiful and sexy. I definitely plan on doing this again someday ♥️ Less

the whole experience was absolutely amazing. I've never felt so beautiful!
LOVE LOVE LOVE working with Brea! The woman had made me feel so comfortable and welcome. Definitely an empowering journey! Very thankful to have had this opportunity 💜
Amazing experience working with Brea! I felt safe and comfortable throughout the entire photoshoot. I loved how the stylist did my hair and makeup. Brea walked me through every pose and I LOVED the results! If you mention my name and the referral, we can both get credit as well!
Arrived at the gorgeously decorated studio and instantly was greeted and started getting my makeup and hair done! I got to know Brea and become comfortable with her before we started the shoot. She helped me mix and match my outfits and guided me with posing. I absolutely love my photos! This was such a fun and empowering experience!

From booking to the day of the shoot, I felt prepared. Nervous, but that melted away as soon as I sat down to have my makeup done. I felt pampered, comfortable and excited. I was so worried I wouldn’t like myself in my photos until that first picture came up after the shoot. I was blown away, speechless, could not believe my eyes. I have never seen myself in the way she captured me that day. She is truly a talented photographer and her passion shines through. I look forward to my next shoot because this will be something I spoil myself with again and I recommend anyone who is thinking about it to book your session now. You will not regret it. Thank you Brea!!! Less

The detail and attention Brea provides from the booking stage through receiving your photos is a luxury experience. Her hair and makeup artist is so talented and the sweetest. Brea is fantastic with providing a comfortable environment and brings a lot of sas, fun, and laughter into the day. She encourages you to be completely vulnerable so that you embrace every aspect of your shoot. I went into this shoot nervous and left it viewing myself in a very different way. Such a way, that this may not be my last session. Less
I had my session today and was pretty nervous that I wouldn’t look good or be good at being in front of a camera. Brea was so great to work with though! She directed me through everything and was even complementing me while she was taking the photos. I ended up loving quite a few photos and had so much.
So I have my first experience today!! And it was absolutely amazing! I was so nervous and excited, but when doing Hair and makeup I got calm. Every step of they way I gained more Confidence and she captured every moment of it!! Loved it!! I would do it again!

EVERY woman should do a session at Brea Oakes Photography! You don’t need to know what you’re doing…Brea and her team guide you from the first phone call to selecting your favorite images at the end of the session so you can continue to treasure the experience. It was so worth it…and the whole experience reminded me of how much I’m worth it.
Brea is the absolute best. I cannot recommend her enough. If you’re on the fence about a boudoir session, trust me, you need to take the jump. It is a serious financial commitment, but the confidence and self love you get from it is so worth it! Cannot recommend her enough!
Brea made me feel so comfortable that I honestly forgot about how nervous I'd been about it beforehand. She is so helpful for easing your worries and lifting you up throughout the session. It was such a fun experience and her work is beyond gorgeous!!
Such a fun and empowering experience! Brea is amazing and made me feel super comfortable!! Definitely a must to increase your confidence and feel comfortable in your body!
Brea and her staff are wonderful. From the very beginning they made me feel beautiful and comfortable. This shoot was something I wanted to do for a long time and it was totally worth it with her as the photographer.
Hands down the best experience ever. Brea did an amazing job coaching me through every pose and made me feel confident and sexy. After you get your hair and makeup done you feel like a completely different person. And the photos.... AMAZING!!! Definitely a 10/10 experience and would encourage everyone to go to Brea. Definitely will be back in the future!

Brea and her team were so much fun to work with. I was nervous going in and they all put me at ease right away. It felt so nice to be pampered and seeing the photos after was a huge confidence boost. Brea guided me through the whole process and made me feel so good about myself. If you are thinking about booking a photoshoot….do it! You won’t regret it!
OMG when I say fantastic Phenomenal best experience with a photographer ever I whole heartedly mean it. Brea is very professional makes you feel comfortable and sexy. The turn around time to get your photos are quick and OMG the pictures I cryed they were so good when seen them today definitely will be coming back to her again 10 out of 10 recommend

An Empowering Experience with Brea Oakes Studio! I recently had a boudoir shoot with Brea at Brea Oakes Studio, and it was truly an empowering and unforgettable experience! I came in with multiple ideas and outfits, explaining the inspiration behind each one, and Brea immediately matched my energy. She was fantastic at helping me choose the best wardrobe options to bring my vision to life. The makeup artist was top-notch—I felt stunning without feeling like I was wearing a mask. They nailed the look I was going for while still making me feel like myself. It was such a relief to feel comfortable and confident from the start. From the moment I arrived, Brea made me feel completely at ease with her warm, friendly demeanor and professionalism. The studio atmosphere was relaxed and fun, and Brea provided the perfect mix of guidance and creative freedom, allowing me to feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. When it came time to pick my images, I realized that was going to be the hardest part! Brea was so well-prepared with rough photos that, dare I say, hardly needed any retouching. She had a wonderful, workable process for narrowing them down, and was always open to bringing shots together to help make the elimination process easier. Her attention to detail was exceptional, and she captured images that made me feel beautiful, strong, and truly myself. The final photos exceeded all my expectations—not just in how they looked but in how they made me feel. I can’t recommend Brea and her studio enough for anyone looking to celebrate themselves and boost their confidence in a unique and powerful way. Thank you, Brea, for such an incredible experience—I’ll cherish these photos forever! Less

Brea and her team are awesome!! So friendly and personable, plus respectful and considerate of boundaries physically and mentally. It’s hard to face challenges with body image and self worth, but having Brea’s genuine support and encouragement was everything. Highly recommend! 😊
Brea is an absolutely amazing photographer! It was a very relaxed setting with fantastic hair and make up artist. She can show you who you are through the lens of her camera and let you not see whatever life has done to you. Amazing experience that people should consider doing for themselves to remind them they are absolutely worth it.
She does a really great job making women feel special and confidant. 10/10 recommend 💕

My first boudoir experience was one for the books! For as long as I can remember, I’ve always battled with body dysmorphia and being self-conscious. In April, I turned 40…and the number hit me really hard. I decided that I needed to do something for myself (and for my husband…our anniversary is coming up). I just have to say that this was such a great experience. Brea made everything seem so seamless and fun. She has an incredible gift… not just for photography, but for empowering others with her spirit. I cannot say enough about how amazing this decision was! …turns out, 40 is just a number, because after my session I’ve never felt better! Less

Brea was so sweet and easy to work with!! You could tell she has a passion and is good at it. I have a ton of anxiety but both her and the make up artist were so supportive and kind. I love love love how my pictures turned out. I’m so glad I took the chance and got the photoshoot done! Definitely am going to do this again in the future, hopefully with my partner next time.
Had an amazing experience with Brea on Wednesday. She was so great at making me feel comfortable and talking me through all of the poses. The overall experience left me feeling confident and empowered. I cannot wait to see the final results. Thank you Brea! Highly recommend as something to do for yourself or gift to someone else.
Brea was absolutely wonderful during this experience for me. She made me feel completely safe and comfortable at a time and in a situation that can feel vulnerable, she made me feel natural and invigorated, and free. Brea is doing amazing things and making others feel empowered!
Brea had such a fun and comforting energy about her that made me feel comfortable and relaxed throughout my entire session! She talked me through each pose and had me feeling like a model! �
Ahhh today was the day!!!! LADIES!!

I loved every minute of it, and I'm so so excited to see the final products. Gahh talk about feeling like an empowered goddess 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I’ve always struggled with body image especially having a kiddo at such a young age; her work brought tears to my eyes. She is incredible at working all of your angles, even if you’re a bit more nervous. She takes parts of your body that you’d normally be insecure about and want to cover and turns it into marble art. She helps you see yourself from a new lense.(full pun intended) Additionally the hair and make up artist was absolutely wonderful. She did an amazing job, was super friendly and incredibly professional. Between the two of them I haven’t felt that beautiful in a long long time. I haven’t stopped telling my friends about the whole experience since I did it. I can’t wait to get my photos in and work with her again in the future! She truly makes it feels like a ladies day with your best friend. 🖤 Less

She makes it so easy to feel comfortable and confident in your body throughout the session. She captured parts of your body you would normally feel insecure about into a work of art. She walks you through the poses and will give you pointers. She makes your poses look effortless in the photos. I couldn’t believe how much I loved my photos!!!! Do yourself a favor, if you’re looking for a huge confidence boost, book a session ASAP. Less
Absolutely Amazing experience all around!
I can not get over how amazing this experience was for me. I didn’t think I would love myself in the photos, but I did!!! She nailed it and knows exactly what she is doing. I couldn’t more pleased. I highly recommend doing this. And I look forward to doing more work with her in the future.
Brea and her makeup/hair artist, Ann, were so great and friendly. I had no awkward feelings by the time the shoot began because they were so genuine! Ann made me look like a superstar and Brea walked through each pose to give me confidence and feel like a real model. This was an awesome experience I wish every woman could have! Bravo!
Holy smokes! Never in a million years did I think I'd be doing a Boudoir session here! Brea made me super comfortable, posed me perfectly, and just made the atmosphere more welcoming. I'd absolutely recommend this to any of my friends!
Thank to Brea and Nichole (Make Up Your Power) for an amazing day and helping me see how beautiful I am! From the moment I walked in a felt pampered and comfortable. I knew I made the right choice going with Brea!
It's hard to capture just how amazing this experience was. I was gifted this for my anniversary and just got my photos back. I haven't been able to stop sneaking peeks at them since!

✨LADIES!✨ Run! Don’t walk! Seriously if you’ve been contemplating booking a session with Brea take the leap, you will NOT regret it! I had my session Friday and it was amazing. Her space is so beautiful and she makes everything so effortless. She is a master at her art and I felt so comfortable. Thanks Brea for an amazing day with some bomb photos for memories 🔥🔥
Brea was very easy going and so excited about every picture she took! That made it easier to relax and enjoy the process. 10/10 would recommend doing this!

Brea knows how to make the most insecure person feel comfortable and confident in their skin and she takes the most beautiful photographs. Nicole did an incredible job on my hair and makeup and I never knew that I could look so good!!! I was literally in shock!!! You have the opportunity to see the unedited pictures before you leave and you will not believe how good you look. The confidence boost that you will feel is unlike anything you will ever experience and I could never possibly describe. Do yourself a favor and schedule an appointment!!! Less

For my birthday, my girlfriend did a boudoir shoot with Brea! I absolutely LOVE the photos!! Very kind and professional! Thank you so much!!
Brea was wonderfully warm and kind. Her studio was stunning and I was blown away by my photos. For a first time ever doing this, the experience was everything I hoped for, professional, comfortable and easy!

Amazing! The makeup and pictures were fantastic and extremely well done and I felt great the whole time I was there. I felt entirely comfortable and enjoyed every moment of it, highly recommend!

It's been a week now since I had my shoot with Brea, and let me just say, I'm still thinking about it a week later! When I first got there, Brea along with her makeup artist were so welcoming and sweet! I instantly felt comfortable and ready to do the shoot! Once we finished with hair and makeup, Brea helped narrow down my outfits and we got to the best part! Brea was so professional, yet sweet and comforting the entire time! It was like having my own personal cheerleader every time she snapped a picture! 😄 Afterwards, Brea uploaded all the photos to her computer for us to go over, and let me just say, I was STUNNED! The pictures are absolutely beautiful!! Now the battle was narrowing down which ones I wanted to keep, and I commend Brea on her patience while I struggled with that task 😂 Bottom line of this review, if you're contemplating this experience, go ahead and just DO IT! You will feel sexy, empowered, and confident in yourself! And as a side bonus, your boyfriend/husband/partner will not be able to keep their hands off of you! Mine definitely couldn't! 😂😂 Brea is amazing and your pictures and experience will be as well! 🖤 Less

Brea made everything easy, and made me feel beautiful despite feeling nervous about the shoot. She's amazing would recommend for anyone who wants to feel sexy and beautiful.
Best experience ever!you must do this for yourself🥰!

From the second I booked until the moment I walked into the studio everything was very well orchestrated. During my time at the studio I was treated like the queen I am. Really all that was lacking was a bottle of champagne, which I enjoyed post-shoot. I had shared my inspo prior to the shoot and was fully trusting of the process from hair/makeup to poses. Brea was incredibly focused and directive of what and where she wanted me posed. Did I feel like a ragdoll? Yes. But that's to be expected! At the end of the time I picked my photos, this was hard because I wanted digital photos, yet there wasn't an ala carte option - it was 15 photos of you chose digital. It was hard because only 3 of them aligned with the look I was wanting / shared inspiration for. 2 months later (payment plan) I received my photos, which were not my style, nor really feeling like me. I messaged brea about it and she was incredibly professional about it, which I appreciated. I felt like I was missing out of the photos. What o mean by that is that it just seemed like my photos looked like every single other person that had a shoot done by her, it lacked personalization. I am a confident plus-size woman and felt like the poses I was put in did not exude that nor did they show the "flaws" I am proud of i.e. cellulite, dimples, freckles, stretch marks, etc. In the end, did I like my photos? No. Was I treated like a queen before, during, and after my shoot? Hell yes. Will I frame any of these photos to add to my "that 70s wall"? No. Brea is a lovely person, and I believe she caters to the more more basic newbies (nothing wrong with that, just not right for me) in the boudoir world, and looking back I should have seen that.

Brea is a phenomenal photographer and I am half convinced she has magic powers. Not only did I leave extremely confident and loving myself a little more, but for the first time in a long time I felt beautiful. I'll walk through a little about my experience and why it was so incredible. when I first arrived I was very warmly welcomed by Brea and her makeup/hair artist(I feel terrible because I can't remember her name). Jumping into the hair and make up I was VERY impressed. Especially with my makeup I am usually very picky when others do it. Usually I prefer to do my own makeup. However, I was blown away with how stunning it looked. I cannot emphasize how much just that moment felt for me and we didn't even start the photoshoot yet. Now I have never done anything as spontaneous or risky as Boudior, but have always been intrigued. So I was SO nervous when it was time to put on the outfits. However, Brea made me feel very comfortable and my nerves very quickly calmed themselves. I was shown how to pose and guided through the whole process making it super easy going. Now let me tell you the moment I seen the pictures was a game stopper. These photos looked like they had already been edited they were so good. I really can't say that loud enough. Like I said she definitely has magic powers when it comes to photography. Highly highly recommend!! It is worth the time, the money, and you will thank yourself for it. Less
I had a wonderful experience at Brea Oakes Photography. Brea and her make-up artist were so kind and inclusive. They really made me feel like a bombshell & so special during my time. The building and studio is absolutely stunning. Brea took time to explain and show me how to pose and where to look to get the most stunning photos. I will never forget this experience!

Not gonna lie I was nervous as all get out. I didn’t bring the right outfits, I wasn’t going to actually feel as pretty as I thought I was going to, my fiancé (in which this expierence was inspired by as it’s going to be his wedding gift) wouldn’t like the pictures. The list went on. But I was wrong, from the moment I walked in I felt comfortable, confident and self assured in all my choices, in addition with the lovely ladies who made this day spectacular The pictures turned out AMAZING! Looking at them I felt hot, sexy and just so happy with the choice I made to do this. Less
I had a great time during my photo shoot! Couldnt have asked for a better experience. I felt so welcomed and beautiful! I couldn’t believe it was actually me in the photos! 10/10 would recommend Brea!
Brea is sooo easy to work with. She helps make u feel confident and comfortable during ur shoot and u will NOT be disappointed with the photos! She's extremely responsive to any questions and sends plenty of prep guides so u know what to buy and what to expect!
I have become so much more confident being involved with Brea Oakes!!! I am very anxious to share my photos with you all….(well some of them) 😉
I had such a great experience with Brea! Every women needs to do one of these shoots! Her studio is beautiful! She has such an amazing energy about her and makes you feel so comfortable! I never thought my pictures would turn out as good as they did! She is very talented photographer! Highly recommend!
Brea is fantastic! Her professionalism, her sweet nature and her amazing eye for the shot make her such a phenomenal photographer! I plan on having her do my photos as often as I can!

Had the best experience doing a boudoir with Brea. It was something totally out of my comfort zone and she made the whole session very relaxed and comfortable. I felt like a new women walking out of her studio. I will always suggest doing a boudoir to all women looking for that self love experience. I promise it's worth it!
Brea is an amazing photographer and person. I felt like a goddess during my session, from hair and makeup to just the compliments during. You won't be disappointed with this experience or with Brea!
I have my photo shoot booked and have NEVER felt so comfortable. Brea is on top of things and is always there to walk you through what the experience is going to be like! I am so excited for October to do my shoot and feel like the amazing and beautiful person I am!

Brea continued to compliment me throughout the session, which continued to make me feel confident and empowered! I appreciated her walking me step by step through the process and poses. I had brought in several outfits as I am such an indecisive person, which Brea helped me to narrow down but also cared to hear my input and know which outfits I felt the sexiest in as well. My opinions and questions were heard and valued. Not once did I feel rushed. Thank you again!! I walked out feeling like the beautiful and fierce woman I am! I can not wait to see the results!!! Less
Brea and Nicole were amazing! Very kind, very professional, and made me feel so comfortable during my shoot. I an 225 lbs. But that didn't stop me from looking and feeling my best. You gotta understand my esteem is not the highest but during my shoot I felt like a goddess. It's true when they say boudoir is inspiring. If I can do this you can too!

We wanted genuine emotions and feelings captured in our wedding pictures, not just stale poses. After looking through her work, and arranging a meeting, we booked her almost immediately. She feels professional, but so genuine. She went through everything very detailed, but never made you feel like your day or time was rushed. She also accommodated the second photographer not being able to make it last minute by spending extra time with us on the day of our wedding. I have gotten so many compliments on how nice she was at our wedding and that our photos from her (Wedding and Engagement Photos) were some of the best pictures people have seen. If all of this wasn’t enough of a selling point for her, she was amazing with our 3 year old niece and 2 year old nephew. Small children at weddings are not easy to wrangle, and she made it fun for them to help make them feel at ease. I am lucky enough to say this about most of the vendors I booked for my wedding but you can definitely tell that she loves what she does, and it shows in her work. Will definitely be booking her again for other life events for me and my husband! Less

My four year old was extra comfortable and loved showing Brea around. Having easy access to the kids things, made us all relaxed so Brea could best capture us in our home. I was able to set my baby down easily in one of her readily available bouncers or crib as needed, or comfort her with one of her toys. When a hair tie unexpectedly broke, I was able to grab another and quickly fix my daughters hair - I could go on and on, there were so many pros to doing our photo session at home! Overall, Brea was great to work with from start to finish - we were super happy with our finished gallery of images and now have tangible canvases and prints to cherish! Less

I can’t say enough good things about Brea! She did an amazing job with my engagement and wedding photos, and was even willing to travel two hours north to Ludington, Michigan, for my big day. She has a gift for capturing candid, natural photos that somehow still flatter everyone in them. She’s also fantastic at putting people at ease in front of the camera—my wedding party and I never once felt like we were being placed into forced poses or awkward positions. My favorite part of our wedding day shoot was when Brea ventured with my husband and I down to the beach to sneak a few romantic couple photos in the sand. These pictures turned out absolutely GORGEOUS and I’ve framed more of them than I can count. She definitely has a gift with light, angles, and making everyone in the room smile! Highly recommend to every bride looking for natural, breezy photos. Less
Brea has been doing our kiddos photos for a couple of years now and every time she has been efficient and super easy to work with. She captures the best of our kiddos. Can't imagine using anyone else to capture these special moments. Thanks Brea!!
Absolutely beautiful work! I’m so happy with our photos! I was nervous because we’ve never had professional photos taken but she made it so easy and such a comfortable process 12/10 thank you so much!
Brea was easy to work with and provided an encouraging and creative photo shoot. We loved the final photos and will be using her in the future!

Brea is absolutely AMAZING. My fiance and I hate our pictures taken and Brea made us enjoy every minute of it. He is said after that he really had fun and enjoyed it. We got our sneak peaks within 2 days and the whole within 2 weeks. I can't wait for our wedding day and to have her as our photographer be she goes above and beyond.
We had a fun family photo session with Brea! She was able to capture the personality of our family even working with some camera shy subjects. The pictures are fantastic!

Brea was so great to work with! I highly recommend a session with her, ESPECIALLY if you have toddlers. She captured such sweet moments of my two year old twins and made it so much fun for them. She had sneak peaks for us within a few days and then our full gallery not soon after that and I loved every picture! I hope to work with her again for future family sessions.
Brea is amazing at her job, she allows her clients to be their self. She doesn’t just make you stand there in a pose that she wants. You will not be disappointed!
Brea is absolutely amazing. She is patient, kind, creative, great with kids, and incredibly talented with her photography skills. She was able to get nothing but smiles from my stubborn and wild one year old. Our session was so relaxed and it truly shows when looking at the photos. 100+ stars if I could.
Brea is AMAZING! She captured the best photos of our family. She was easy to communicate with and always responded in a timely manner. She is also very down to earth and just such a kind, talented human!! We will definitely hire her again for future family photos!
Brea was absolutely amazing to work with. She made me feel super comfortable and I wasn’t able to choose just one picture I loved from my session because I loved them all.
Brea is incredible. I have never had a photography experience like I did with her. She’s patient, kind, personable and great with kids. 100+ stars if I could!
We are so thankful for the beautiful pictures that Brea captured of our family. She made us all feel comfortable immediately (including our two young children), and therefore she was able to capture so many candid photos. We love the variety of pictures that we got, even in a short amount of time. Her communication is great throughout the entire process. We LOVE our photos and recommend her 100%!
This was our first time working with Brea and it won’t be our last time!! She is so much fun to work with. Very down to earth, friendly, sweet, and just makes the photo session fun!! Our daughters senior pictures turned out amazing!! So amazing we scheduled a Fall mini session for family photos and we can’t wait!! We highly recommend her!! You won’t be disappointed!
Brea is absolutely amazing with people and photos! She’s very friendly and down to earth! And her photographer talent is amazing! A sunflower mini session for my daughters senior pictures was our first photo session with Brea and it won’t be the last!! We already scheduled a Fall mini photo session for our family. Highly recommended!!
Brea did my daughters senior pictures. I can’t rave about her enough! She was easy to work with from setting it up, to payment, and the session itself. My daughter was nervous and Brea made her feel extremely comfortable and guided her through the session. The quality of her photos are spectacular and we couldn’t be happier!!!

Brea was so great to work with. Her philosophy to photography and family sessions is exactly what I was looking for! Relaxed, go with the flow, and REAL. She worked so well with the kids (and 100 degree heat!) and makes you feel like you’ve known her forever with her welcoming demeanor. Her turn around time was unbelievable too!

Brea is amazing, very patient awesome with kids and captures great photos she takes the time to make sure you have amazing photos
Brea is absolutely amazing! She is such a beautiful and kind person inside and out. She loves what she does and it shows. She has done many photos for myself and my family. She recently did my wedding and a mini session. Every single time I am blown away by her work! I would 100% recommend her!
Brea took our family photos on the hottest day of the summer when my toddler was not being very cooperative. She made us feel so comfortable and relaxed during the session. When they were over, I couldn’t imagine any of the pictures turning out since our little one barely sat still! Less than a week later we received a gallery full of amazing photos!

Brea was absolutely AMAZING!!!!! She had no problem getting down on her hands and knees with my little ones and spending time playing with my girls. I would totally book with her!!!! The pictures I’ve gotten back from the sessions are super adorable!!!
Brea was awesome! She was very friendly and chatted with my toddler like it was nothing. Snapped some beautiful pictures of my family for our mini session. I would highly recommend her!

Always above and beyond! Love how the photos turn out even when you have a stinker of a child during the whole shoot! We love Brea and will continue capturing our big family moments!
Brea is incredible at getting everyone together and comfortable. We first hired her to photograph our large family of 12! We had ages 2 - 39. She was able to capture each of our kids personalities and our family beautifully. Since then we’ve had her do senior and graduation pictures. I wasn’t sure if all the pictures would have the same “style” and was hoping we’d get different perspectives and B... More
Brea is incredible at getting everyone together and comfortable. We first hired her to photograph our large family of 12! We had ages 2 - 39. She was able to capture each of our kids personalities and our family beautifully. Since then we’ve had her do senior and graduation pictures. I wasn’t sure if all the pictures would have the same “style” and was hoping we’d get different perspectives and Brea nailed it every time!! I think the best thing about having Brea is that she’s so easy to talk to and flexible. Our schedules get pretty hectic and with Covid we had no idea what would happen with graduation pictures. But she put our mind at ease and worked with us without any pressure or stress. I would 100% recommend Brea to everyone I know. She’s affordable, fun, professional, has a quick turn around, and the photos never disappoint! Less
Brea is SO great to work with! She has done all our photography sessions from engagement to our wedding to our new baby boy’s newborn photos and every session turns out better than expected! Would highly recommend to anyone!
Brea was lovely to work with and captured our family beautifully!
Brea does an amazing job. Very professional and has the eye for the perfect picture. So happy with our pictures.
Brea did our in-home newborn photos. She made us feel super comfortable, was great with the baby, and was open to anything we wanted to do (but came with lots of suggestions on what might work well). She was affordable and we very very happy with the quality and number of pictures we got. I would definitely recommend her and use her in the future!
She was super patient and made sure she captured all our moments
Brea did 'mommy and me' pics of my girls and I. She is absolutely amazing and SO good with kids! I can't wait to have her do more for us!
Second photo shoot with Brea. Can’t wait to see the photos.
Brea was so great to work with!! I would recommend DollarPix to everyone!!!!
Brea did an awesome job with our family pictures! She was so amazing with our 3 children and was able to capture beautiful photos of them! I highly recommend her!
Amazing pictures!! Thank you so much!
What a great experience! Brea is very responsive and friendly. She made the experience enjoyable and the pics are great! Her costs are reasonable and even came in a little lower than others. She sent previews in a short amount of time. Highly recommend!
Brea has done photos for us three separate times and she is amazing. She is super patient and captures amazing photos.
Brea has taken family pictures for us the last 2 years and has done and amazing job! With 4 kids of all ages it is not easy to get a good pic, let alone several great ones but somehow she manages. I highly recommend!!
Brea is so easy to work with. I threw so much at her in a short period and she was so professional and easy going. The result is beyond what I hoped. I will for sure use her again!! Thank you thank you
We had a great experience at our photo shoot with Brea! Babies are obviously unpredictable and Brea was so great with my 6 week old daughter! She had lots of good ideas and took lots of great shots! �
Brea did an amazing job on family and newborn baby pictures! Very accommodating to what we wanted as well as very creative ideas of hers. We will be back!
