who is briana?

A storyteller. I love to laugh and seek out joy, capture spontaneous moments & tell your story.

An artist. When I pick up the camera, I see the whole world differently. I find beauty. I wait patiently for moments.

A traveler. New people, new experiences, textures & colors…ignite my sense of curiosity.

Optimist. I seek out beauty, emotion and spontaneous fleeting moments. 

A friend. For me, photography is personal and your wedding day is yours. I will be there as a quiet support and cheerful presence.

Someone who knows how to have fun. Never, ever take yourself too seriously. 

I was always in awe of the world around me and began attempting to portray it in images at a young age. People’s stories fascinate me and I aim to capture moments, beauty and products in a positive light.  I now photograph amazing weddings & events, food & wine, lifestyle portraits and commercial imagery for cookbooks, publications and many amazing clients. I make my home in Napa Valley but travel internationally to follow stories and document for clients. In addition, I volunteer my time and services worldwide to photograph for non-profits.

My photos reflect the sensitive nature in which I approach life and the joy I find in photography. When I am not slinging cameras, I can be found adventuring outdoors, cooking, gardening or laughing with my husband and two young boys.

My wish for you is that you continue. Continue to be who and how you are, to astonish a mean world with your acts of kindness. Continue to allow humor to lighten the burden of your tender heart. - Maya Angelou

Feeling like a pretty lucky mom today. Boys met up with me on my run and had breakfast waiting for me at the finish.  Love these guys...always inspiring me to be a better person and help make the world a better place for them to grow up in!  #smashfe
So proud! My family and their amazing customers have already raised over $15,000 for Covid-19 related causes. They are hoping to reach their goal of $20k by the end of this week!  Spectacular wine & supporting each other. Win-Win! ........Repost
A welcome escape to the water. Soothing and so calm. Hopefully this image brings some of that calm to you. #peace
