In a world obsessed with perfection—staged smiles, coordinated outfits, curated feeds—there’s something powerful about letting go. As a lifestyle photographer in Butte County and surrounding Northern California areas, I believe the real magic happens in the in-between. In the unscripted. In the beautifully imperfect.
I specialize in authentic lifestyle photography for families, couples, and kids across Butte County—including Chico, Paradise, Oroville, and the surrounding foothills. My goal? To tell your story in a way that feels honest, warm, and unforgettable.
There’s a certain beauty that comes when we allow ourselves to simply be. The laugh you didn’t expect. The messy, sweet hug between siblings. The way you look at your partner when no one’s watching. These are the moments that matter—and they’re the moments I live to capture.
Lifestyle Photography Rooted in Emotion and Connection
You won’t find rigid poses or forced smiles in my sessions. As a documentary-style family and couple photographer in Northern California, I approach every shoot with curiosity and care. I want to know who you are, what you love about each other, and what season of life you’re in—because that’s where the real story lives.
“I would highly recommend her. Our photos turned out better than I could have ever imagined. The detail and time taken to create these images is impressive. They aren’t just photos—they’re art—and her art perfectly captured my fiancé and I and our relationship. Great job, Brie! I couldn’t be more pleased!!”
— Happy Client
Authenticity isn’t a trend—it’s a truth. And whether I’m photographing a couple at golden hour in a field near Chico or a wild-hearted family exploring the trails outside Paradise, I’m drawn to what’s real.
Serving Butte County and Northern California With Natural, Timeless Imagery
As a Northern California lifestyle photographer, I’m not just here to give you images—I’m here to create a space where you feel seen. My sessions are relaxed and natural, focused on capturing feeling over perfection.
From sunset family sessions in Oroville to intimate couple shoots along the Butte Creek Canyon, my work is built on connection. I aim to reflect not just what your love looks like, but what it feels like.
