Introduction: Hello! My name is Brigette and I am based out of the Chicago land area, but make it my mission to travel for photography as much as possible! My speciality is Elopements, weddings, engagements, & proposals! However, I shoot a large variety of subjects ranging from family portraits, to newborns, to events, seniors, branding, boudoir & more! I like to connect my subjects with nature and use natural lighting to create breathtaking images that emphasize my love for the natural beauty we find outside every day! I’m all about the adventure in life! I care as much about the location, the landscape, and creating a fun adventure during our shoot, as I do about getting you the most epic pictures imaginable! I also put a strong emphasis on the relationship and bond we will have with each other, and want to help you every step of the way to create your dream shoot! I am big on capturing energy and movement! I direct you in a way that encourages you to be comfortable in your natural state. Let's create some raw & authentic images that will last a lifetime. Contact me for pricing packages & to get chatting, I can not wait to hear from you!

Brigette is incredibly kind, talented and knowledgeable! We booked an engagement session with her in Chicago and she created the best experience! It really exceeded our expectations. Brigette found all the best locations around the zoo. Brigette made us feel so comfortable! We could not have been happier with the engagement photos and we are very excited for her to be the photographer at our wedding! I would highly recommend Brigette! She really listened to our vision and made it happen!

She really caters to your needs/styles…from simplicity to extraordinary she’s your gal!

We hired Brigette to take our engagement photos and couldn’t be happier with the result. Neither of us had our pictures taken before and she made the whole process super comfortable for us. She had great suggestions for shooting locations, knew exactly what types of backgrounds would work and gave us fun skits to do. It made the whole process easy for us & we had a great time doing the shoot. She was also very quick to respond and was flexible with scheduling. There are some guidelines on what to wear (contrasting colors, no logos) but it’s only so the photos come out looking as vibrant as possible. Brigette did such an awesome job and we would hire her again in a heartbeat!

Brigette did such a fantastic job with our engagement photos. We’d never had pictures done before so we weren’t sure what to expect. She brought us both out of our shell and made us so comfortable! Her turnaround time was so fast, too! She was also so accommodating of our crazy schedule and Mother Nature not cooperating for an outdoor session. We truly appreciated her guidance and expertise in our pictures. If you’re looking for a fun experience, Brigette is the one to go to!

I have invested a lot in my training and education in regards to the photography field and feel very confident in the foundation I gained from it all!
