"Hey! What's going on?!"
And I Said
If you automatically started singing 4non blondes in your head, we're going to get along great.
I'm Bri - living in Rochester, MN with my husband. I am a mom of 1 human, 4 chickens, and 4 cats. Yes, I know that's a lot of cats... to be fair, I found 3 of them as kittens, and all while I was doing something photography related. So I had to keep them, right?!
Before my two year old came into the picture, you could find me thrift shopping, planning another trip for my husband and I, attending and photographing concerts, and stopping at all the antique malls along the way. These days, I'm usually getting outside with my little guy, gardening, listening to podcasts, reading, and working during that oh so precious nap time.
My husband and I are super close with both of our families. I think that is a big reason why I love photography so much. I know how much I cherish my friends and family, and being able to see those relationships up close and being able to document it for others is just the coolest.
When I first got a camera, I started shooting bands and their live shows. That moved on to shooting national acts and being published in a few magazines.

"We were already so very pleased with the whole experience with her and THEN ...then... we got our gallery back... WOW just WOW!!!"
Bri is amazing, I have 3 little boys and her patience and composure was like no one I know. Bri was great with our kids, She is kind and sweet and the entire session was a blast. I cannot say enough great things about Bri, she is incredible as a person and we left the session stressed free and not tired at all, we were already so very pleased with the whole experience with her and THEN ...then... we got our gallery back... WOW just WOW!!! every image made me tear up, every photograph is making my heart happy, Bri captured everything I never knew I wanted to remember. I will forever treasure these photographs. THANK YOU BRI!

"My favorite sessions with her have been of my journey in motherhood, photos which I will cherish forever"
Bri has photographed many significant moments in my life, and each time I am blown away how beautifully she captures those once in a life time moments. She goes above and beyond and every session is more than just taking pictures- she makes it a fun experience, has the patience of a saint, and makes you feel comfortable and beautiful. My favorite sessions with her have been of my journey in motherhood, photos which I will cherish forever. She is an extremely talented, beautiful human and that is reflected in her work. Working with bri not only will you get the most beautiful gallery, but a beautiful experience as well.

"Bri's work makes me emotional every time she shares.."
Her ability to capture the love is extraordinary. During her sessions, the vibe is relaxed and fun. I am honored to have such amazing memories she has collected of my family. I feel her style is unique, which makes me crave her work even more. I am without a doubt Copper and Coal's biggest fan. Would recommend for any stage or milestone, even 'just because', it's worth every investment of time and money.
