  • “Brennan took pictures of our family of four and was so professional and positive with our toddlers! Even though my one year old decided to scream almost the entire shoot, Brennan was so calm and somehow still was able to capture a perfect family photo and sweet photos of me when I was calming my son down. I was so impressed with how he just went with the flow and the pictures turned out amazing! We used the photos in our Christmas letter and have received so many compliments on how beautiful the picture is! I would work with Brennan again in a heart beat! So happy with how everything turned out.”

  • “Brennan took our outdoor family photos (myself, wife, 7-month-old baby, dog). They all came out excellent & Brennan was great to work with! We used a variety of poses & subsets of the 4 of us, some of which he suggested & some of which happened naturally; it was nice that Brennan was the right amount of flexible to make that happen. He was also especially patient & accommodating with the dog & the baby. Would definitely recommend him & will work with him again!”

  • “Would give more stars if I could! He was amazing and got family photos with us our two dogs and baby that looked natural and so beautiful! I thought getting photos of the two dogs together was an impossible feat and not only did he get them they’re incredible shots!”

  • "Brennan just did a fantastic job photographing my daughter’s surprise marriage proposal and engagement pics. They are thrilled with the pictures and how Brennan managed the whole process. Highly recommend!"
