Meet the Ladies Behind the Lens
Brie'Denee Photography is a captivating collaboration between a dynamic mother-daughter duo, Carrie and Brittney. Carrie's journey into photography began during her daughters' youth, focusing primarily on sports photography as her youngest daughter pursued dance. With a camera in hand, she became a familiar face in the audience of recitals and competitions, capturing the essence of each performance. Brittney, on the other hand, discovered her passion for photography unexpectedly when she stepped in to support a sick doula. Acting as a backup for the ailing doula, Brittney found herself at a birth where the client also desired photography. Despite not having her own camera, she embraced the challenge using the doula's equipment, and it was love at first click. Together, this talented mother-daughter team brings a unique blend of experience and passion to Brie'Denee Photography, ensuring that every moment they capture tells a story that lasts a lifetime.

About Brittney
Hi! I'm Brittney. I love of popcorn, will devour a pizza and any and all chips and salsa. I’m a wife, mother of 4, forever student, yoga and fitness instructor, photographer, birth doula, creative, and anything else I choose to be. I’m the wife of 18 years to Mike and the mother of Gwendalyn, Abigail and Phoebe, my three beautiful girls and Jirard, my wonderful son.
I believe life should be fun and full of laughter. My family is everything to me and my world revolves around them. I love the nitty gritty of life and getting close up and personal with it. Life is hard and messy and there is so much beauty in this messy world. We are meant to learn and grow every day. Living life without regrets is one of my ultimate goals.
Some credentials, because they're helpful… I have a bachelor's degree in health education from Truman State University, a certified birth and bereavement doula through Stillbirthday, certified Birth and Postpartum Doula through Birth it Forward, certified birth photographer through Birth Becomes Her, Peanut Ball Ambassador, birth doula trained with DONA and a 200-hour yoga instructor with trainings in chair, restorative, and children's yoga. I believe we should always be learning and growing so I attend both photography, doula and yoga conferences annually and take multiple trainings throughout the year.
