Hi, I’m Brandy!

Huntington Beach Photographer

Families, Seniors & Sports

With 3 girls, 2 dogs and 4 cats, life is beautiful chaos! When I’m not photographing your family, you’ll find me hanging out with mine, chauffeuring kids to practice, reading a good book, making something for my fairy garden, or taking a bike ride down to the beach.

I’ve been capturing families and their major milestones for the past 15 years. From weddings and births to graduations and anniversary parties. I love connecting with new people and look forward to capturing beautiful moments for you!

As a seasoned Huntington Beach photographer, I make every session effortless and enjoyable.

But it's not just about the photos—it's about creating an experience where you feel connected, relaxed, and have fun with the people who matter most. When you hire me, you’re choosing a photographer who genuinely cares about both the quality of your images and your overall experience. Let’s create memories that will last!

Kind Words

  • A family taking photos in the Urban Forest park in Huntington Beach, CA during the superbloom with beautiful green trees and flowering bushes behind them while they're hugging and smiling together.

    “We had the luxury of seeing Brandy’s work in a friend’s photo session. I was amazed with the clarity and how vibrant their pictures came out. I was especially impressed how she captured the essence of each of their personalities and smiles. We finally had our family photo last Spring at Urban Forest in HB. Wowser - the flowers, plants, trees and natural beauty of the park all came through plus she made us look so good. I highly recommend Brandy as your photographer. You won’t regret it. Now, we have all these beautiful pictures of our family to treasure for a long long time. Thank you Brandy for all you do for the community!”

    "We used Brandy for our maternity photos for our first child. Brandy was great! She was easy to work with and quick to get us the photos. The photos turned out great and we’ve asked her to shoot our family again for maternity photos for our second child."

    “I’ve had the pleasure of working with Brandy three times, and each experience has been fantastic! Whether it was a brand photography session, a large family photo shoot with 10 people and two dogs, or a special session with my fiancé and our beloved dog Piggy, Brandy always delivered amazing results. She has a unique talent for making everyone feel comfortable and at ease, turning each session into a fun and memorable experience. Her guidance helped us capture the best angles and moments, never making anything feel cheesy or forced. The photos truly captured our love and connection, and I literally cried when I saw the family photos. I highly recommend Brandy for any photography needs!”

    "Brandy is SUCH a pleasure to work with. She has shot several things for me - from events to portraits - and her positive, relaxed attitude always makes me feel more comfortable in front of the camera. Her style is so natural and I'm always in awe of the variety of images she's able to capture. Such a creative eye! I highly recommend her services."

  • Female athlete plays beach volleyball on the court in Huntington Beach, CA

    Brandy is an amazingly talented photographer! The photos she got of my daughter playing beach volleyball capture the emotion and excitement of the moment every time. The photoshoots she does for team photos are incredible! She takes the time to capture the perfect moments and is very good at getting photos of the camera shy teenagers on the court. She is kind, talented, and extremely knowledgeable about what shots will work. I cherish every photo I have been fortunate enough to have her take, and I can’t wait to see more photos in the years to come!

  • A mom and daughter hugging with a beautiful sunset behind them for their family photoshoot in Yucaipa, CA

    “Brandy has been a part of our family since my husband was about to deploy, and as you can imagine, pictures are invaluable during such times. We instantly connected because she, too, is a military spouse. She has taken pictures of our growing family since our first child was born. She also did a wonderful job capturing our family reunion. I don’t think I would trust anyone as detailed and professional as she is. I can still remember her being really silly to try to get my son to smile. I am looking forward to many more photo shoots with her.”
