Welcome...

Thanks for visiting my blog!

A few things about me...my name is Brianne. I am an on-location, lifestyle photographer located in San Diego, CA. I absolutely adore my family. I have a wonderful husband and a beautiful (but wild) 2 year old daughter, who keeps me on my toes. Besides my obvious passion for photography, I also love fashion (aka shopping), traveling, wine tasting, dinner with my girl friends and spending time with my family.

My photography style is very natural, non-traditional and full of emotion. I LOVE natural light and am on a never-ending journey for the perfect, beautifully lit location. As a lifestyle photographer, I find pure joy in documenting your family from the eye of an observer, someone peeking into your daily life. My goal is to capture your life, your family, as it is right now. That is what lifestyle photography is all about...real, everyday life.

Go ahead and read through my blog…you are sure to learn lots about me, my family and my adorable clients! I love to share new adventures in my life, sneak peaks of recent client sessions and of course, my beautiful daughter…so if that sounds interesting, make yourself comfy and stay a while! And feel free to leave me comments, I love hearing from my readers!

Once again, welcome to my blog and my crazy life!

silly wind…

With the holiday rush coming to a close, I finally have some time to go through my own pictures and trash the ones I don’t want.  I almost threw this one out and then realized how stinkin’ cute she is and couldn’t do it!  She totally cracks me up with her wild hair and silly face…I know, mommy goggles.  I just LOVE the light and my baby girl, so thought I’d share!

Give Someone Something Special

My friends over at Essential Imagery have set up this fan-freaking-tastic site Giving is Awesome and I wanted to share the love too.

Here is how it works -

You know someone. You know someone who’s experienced a tragedy, is struggling to stay afloat, is raising kids while holding down more than one job, or is volunteering selflessly despite extenuating personal circumstances. You know someone who can’t afford custom photography, but who would cherish it this holiday season. You know someone who deserves a year-round reminder of their family’s spirit, love, and beauty.

You know someone. I guarantee it.

I want to know who they are, and I want to give them the chance to experience complimentary custom photography – $1195 worth, to be exact. The winner will receive a photo session along with all the digital files to fully decorate their home and be able to share with friends and family. It’s in your power to give them the artwork they deserve this holiday season.

Oh, and the best part? The person who nominates the winner receives a FREE session worth $195. What better reason to show some love could there possibly be, people?

The rules:

* You cannot nominate yourself, and the person nominated must sincerely be incapable of purchasing my services. (Being unable to make mortgage payments for a two-million-dollar-vacation-home in Paris does not qualify as sincere financial need.)

* The nominee must reside in the San Diego area. Tell me who you know, what they’re experiencing, and why they deserve my artwork. Please include a way to contact both your nominee and yourself as well.

* You must e-mail me the full story : briannebrosephotography@gmail.com

The winner will be announced on New Years Day — get nominating! I can’t wait to read all of your entries!

Open your heart to someone this holiday season — and thanks for giving me the opportunity to open mine.

With love,

Brianne

happy holidays…

Now that my family & friends have received our holiday card, I wanted to go ahead and share it with my readers too.  Happy holidays from the Brose family!

red tricycle…

Olivia got a red tricycle for her 2nd birthday in September but we haven’t spent much time practicing.  She spent most of the first few months incredibly afraid of it, so we let it collect dust in the garage until today!  She pointed to it on our way out of the garage this morning and I thought this evening was the perfect time to give it a spin!  We went to a nearby church parking lot and let her go at it.  Pedaling isn’t really her thing yet, haha, but at least she wasn’t quite as afraid!  We will practice, practice, practice until she is a pro!  Here are a few pictures from tonight!

And my VERY favorite one, wild hair and all…

same belly, different day…

Remember this beautiful belly from our urban maternity session 2 weekends ago?  Well, we decided to get together one more time to capture her bare belly, since out in the middle of downtown isn’t always the most comfortable place.  :)  And I was the luckiest girl because I got to see their dog Brody again!  He is just the cutest.  Anyhow, working with this little family is a blast, thanks for letting me hang out guys!  Can’t wait to meet Ethan!
