I’m Breanna
I’m based in NW Ohio, with a cozy studio in downtown Toledo, where a lot of the magic happens. My passion for photography was born out of serving on the photography team at my church. After a year, I felt the nudge to go all in — and it’s been the best thing I’ve ever done.
Photography lights me up in a way I can't put into words, and it’s something I’ve always had an eye for, especially with God’s guidance to capture the most wholesome moments.
I’m an introvert who loves diving deep into people’s stories, so when we work together, don’t be surprised if I ask what fills you up or what your go-to is on Taco Tuesday (I’ll be the one in a bowl of queso).
I strive to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera, will crack jokes, show up as my full self (AKA a hot mess), and talk a mile a minute because I’m always extra caffeinated. (But I promise it’s all part of the fun!)

There is beauty in the becoming, and something sacred about remembering who we were in every season along the way.
I’m a 2027 bride, a mama, a photographer, and a girl who believes the sweetest parts of life are often the ones we don’t think to photograph. The slow mornings, the familiar hands, the belly laughs, and the people who make an ordinary day feel like something worth remembering.
My own story continues to unfold in ways I never could have imagined, and becoming a mama has changed the way I see just about everything. I understand a little more now how quickly seasons pass, how much can change in a year, and how the smallest details can eventually mean the most.
That’s what draws me to photography. Not just the way something looks, but the way it felt to be there. The people you were, the love you shared, and the little pieces of life you might otherwise forget.
My hope is that when you look back at your photographs years from now, you don’t just remember what that season looked like. You remember what it felt like to live it.
Here’s to the life you’re living right now— not just the milestones, but all the little moments that make it yours. I’m so glad you’re here
