Starting this blog feels a bit like opening up my diary—except with fewer secret crushes and more love for photography. 


I want to use this space to share the stories behind the lens, the moments that inspire me, and the connections that make this job so special. Photography isn’t just about snapping pretty pictures; it’s about connection, truth, and storytelling. That’s what Brae and Co Photography is all about—capturing the real, raw, and beautifully chaotic moments that make life truly special.


I started this business with one goal in mind: to document stories that don’t need words to be told. Whether it's the nervous excitement of a couple just engaged, the quiet anticipation of soon-to-be parents, or the joyful chaos of a growing family, every moment is filled with meaning. My passion lies in preserving these fleeting chapters in a way that feels authentic and true to you.


What drives me isn’t just the art of photography, but the people behind the lens. I believe every person has a unique story, and my job is to bring that story to life through honest, heartfelt images. I want to capture the stolen glances, the belly laughs, and the tiny details that often go unnoticed but mean the most.


As a mum myself, I know all too well how fast life moves—one minute you're cradling your newborn, and the next, you're negotiating snack choices with a tiny dictator. And now, with a newborn in tow, I get to do it all over again (send coffee!). It’s those everyday moments, the ones that might seem ordinary now, that deserve to be cherished forever. That’s why my approach is natural, relaxed, and all about making you feel comfortable and present in the moment.


At Brae and Co Photography, I believe photography should feel easy and real. I’m not here to create a picture-perfect version of your life—I’m here to capture it just as it is, with all the love, laughter, and beautiful chaos that comes with it. Whether you're planning your dream wedding, counting down to meet your little one, or simply want to freeze time with your family, I’m here to make it happen.


This blog is more than just a space to showcase my work—it’s where the heart and soul of my business come to life. Beyond portfolios and curated galleries, I want to share the raw beauty of what I do and why I do it. Here, you'll find stories woven with emotion, tips to make your experience effortless, and a glimpse into the passion that drives me to document your most treasured moments. It’s a place to connect, to celebrate, and to embrace the perfectly imperfect magic of life.


If you’re after a photographer who values connection over perfection and real moments over staged ones, let’s chat. I’d love to help you tell your story in the most beautiful, authentic way.


Follow along for more stories, tips, and behind-the-scenes glimpses. And if you're ready to capture your own story, let’s make some magic together!
