Extended Family Portrait Sessions are Comprehensive Portrait Sessions that not only include large group portraits of your entire family, but also portraits of each family unit, portraits of each sibling group, portraits of each couple as well as as individual portraits of each member of your family! In my opinion, if you can make it happen, extended family portraits are not only an incredibly economical way to update your family portraits each year but also it’s just really special to spend this time together in documenting your family’s legacy through the years! 💛

It had been at least a decade since I’d seen the Wisteria in Bloom at Biltmore!!!💜 The last time it bloomed, I photographed a bride beneath it!😍 I was so pleasantly surprised when I showed up on this mid April day to find it thriving, it warmed my heart that it showed up again after the storm!🥰💜

This sweet family was visiting Asheville from the Dominican Republic & it was such a delight to photograph them together in this beautiful place!

Ya’ll!! I have been sooooo busy these last few months, it’s hard to believe that my last post was in November (cringe! 😬🫣)!! Traveling, Holidays, Started a 4th company, built another new website, the Birthday circuit in our house, more traveling, commercial real estate shopping and big news! I’m opening a new studio in Charleston this summer! And I’ve been portfolio building in the low country since October and traveling back and forth for that, plus shooting and editing babies and families! I’ve been quiet on the socials but I’m definitely still here!! 😅 (I’ll start sharing some of that soon, I promise!)💛 met up with these two cuties in Charlotte last month for their Engagement Session! We’re (the dream team) shooting their wedding in June with 💍

I welcomed my first Newborn (into a rental studio) since Hurricane Helene, last week!!!🥰 Sweetly, it was my second time photographing a newborn for this family (I photographed their maternity + newborn portraits for their oldest daughter, 6 years ago!) 💕
This precious girl’s mama said that after everything + the chaos of running a business after a natural disaster and raising children —- she almost didn’t shoot maternity and newborn portraits with this pregnancy but then her oldest (who is obsessed with the photos I shot when her mama was pregnant with her) questioned if she would do it for this baby….. and while her heart may not have necessarily been (in) it, Jessica understood what she would loose by skipping it for this new baby….🥺
Asheville, you’ve been through so much, lost so much….. please remember, these precious milestones are fleeting and still so important for your babies, for your families and I’ll be here for you, when you’re ready!💛 xo - Brittany

Happy Thanksgiving, friends!🧡🦃
Top of the list among all of the things that I am Thankful for this holiday season is the health and safety of my family and friends in Asheville & Western North Carolina. 💛

While I may have lost my studio and my business in Asheville (for the foreseeable future) to Helene, I am grateful for the innate resilience within me, an entrepreneurial spirit and the kindness of my community!

Prior to the storm, about 80% of my clients were tourists visiting Asheville with hopes of capturing our beloved Blue Ridge Mountains in their family portraits….

The tourism industry in Asheville has taken a devastating hit since Helene’s flood waters saturated every aspect this once thriving mountain community… so many have lost so much…. family members, friends, homes, cars, businesses….😔

Sadly, with the tourists not returning for a while (and certainly not in the volume that they once were) and beyond the trauma of what my local clients have been through, portraits just aren’t gonna be all that high on anybody’s priority list for a while… and so, once again, I needed to pivot (again) in order to survive this ‘storm’…

For the last two months, I have been portfolio building in Charleston, South Carolina, in an effort to build something new (to support my family) while Asheville gets back on its feet…

While I’ve been to Asheville several times since the hurricane, shooting portraits there is far less frequent these days…

It was bittersweet to shoot an anniversary session at Biltmore Estate last week for this lovely couple who had planned their anniversary trip to Asheville before the hurricane…

It was wild to behold the ghost town that my once thriving mountain town has become… 😔

If you’re reading this, Asheville needs you…. Not just me, but all of the independent shops, artists, restaurants and hotels need you to come back soon! 💛 until then, consider holiday shopping with some independent shops / artists this Christmas!🎄❤️

Stay tuned for a offer tomorrow! 💛 xo -Brittany

Fall is the positively one of the most magical times of the year in Western North Carolina wether you're local or visiting Asheville! Our beloved Blue Ridge Mountains come alive each October with brilliant hues of reds, oranges and yellows! Asheville has long been a popular destination for couples vacationing in Asheville for their Baby Moon before their new baby arrives and I am often asked to shoot Maternity Portraits for them while they're in town! It's actually perfect because each of my Maternity Photoshoots in Asheville includes professional hair and makeup service (and a custom, couture Maternity Gown of your choice) ahead of the session, so my expectant mamas are all dolled up for a date night on the town after their Maternity Session! Within this blog post, I will share some pro tips for your planning your Fall Maternity Photos Asheville!

Q: Where should we shoot our BRPW Maternity Photos!?

Choosing a location along the Blue Ridge Parkway for your Maternity Portrait Session is entirely subjective and completely dependent upon your preferences for landscape -- which types of locations and / or geological features of the parkway interest you! The Blue Ridge Parkway has over 70,000 acres of forest, which covers almost 85% of the parkway's 469 miles!
There are some areas of the parkway which feature giant, rocky mountains while others may have rolling hills, forested mountains and grassy balds. There are waterfalls, forest trails, tall grassy fields and spectacular rolling mountain overlooks. Areas in higher elevations have more alpine/ever green trees and areas in lower elevations are going to have more hardwoods, maples, birch and oak trees. All this to say, the Blue Ridge Parkway is incredibly diverse and it's important to consider what types of locations interest you for the backdrop to your Blue Ridge Parkway Maternity Photos!

Q: When should we shoot Blue Ridge Parkway Maternity Photos?

I typically photograph expectant mothers between 30 - 33 weeks. I prefer this time frame because your baby bump has POP'd but you're not yet uncomfortable and retaining water, swelling, etc! Also, this is considered the 'safe zone' because (waiting much later in your pregnancy makes it riskier to plan maternity portraits, the closer you get to your due date!) There are a few important things to consider before scheduling your Maternity Portrait Session on the Blue Ridge Parkway!

Maternity Photos on the Blue Ridge Parkway has long been an incredibly popular choice among locals and tourists visiting our lovely little mountain town! Asheville is also a very popular destination for couples planning their baby moon in the mountains and one exceedingly popular thing to do on your baby moon is to have your Maternity Portraits made during your trip! For the last fifteen years, I've photographed at least two couples on their baby moon in Asheville each month, so I'm basically the town expert on Blue Ridge Parkway Maternity Photos!
