We couldn't be happier with the experience we had with Brianna Caldwell Photography. Brianna made our family feel at ease right away. With her guidance, the session felt fun, relaxed, and natural, and she captured joyful moments that we will treasure forever. One of our favorites was a father-daughter dance, beautifully framed in amazing light. Beyond her skill with the camera, Brianna is warm, kind, and a joy to work with. I especially appreciated how she listened to what we wanted while also offering thoughtful, playful, and creative suggestions. She has a great eye for composition. Her editing and attention to detail were excellent--she really thought of the little things. We were thrilled with the final images and received so many compliments on the photos. Highly, highly recommend! read more

Working with Brianna was such a pleasure! She communicated well, was on time, great with my daughter, provided suggestions for locations and was prompt with the final photos. Me and my husband are awkward taking pictures. She made us feel comfortable instantly! We are so happy with the results! She's worth every penny! Highly recommend! read more

Where do I start? There are tons of photographers around and as a busy mom, it's so hard to find the time to get family pictures taken! We've gotten many a pic taken and have been disappointed at times when we eagerly anticipate and see the images. This was the exact opposite situation! We were immediately put as ease when we started working with Brianna. She is so gentle and warm with everyone and my girls and puppy absolutely felt comfortable immediately. She captured my family perfectly in moments that never felt too posed. We were sad for our session to be over because we just had a wonderful time! She is a gem and an overall fantastic person. We got our pictures so quickly and really feel so blessed to have had our family captured in a way that feels genuine. My highest recommendation! read more

It's simply not possible for me to say enough glowing things about Brianna, both as a photographer and now as a friend. We were fortunate to do a maternity session with her this summer, and she was an absolute pro with my adventurous and "cannot sit still even for 5 seconds" 18-month old. She was incredibly patient, eliciting giggles and smiles, and made us all comfortable immediately. She has an innate gift for capturing the right light and angles, and was able to direct us so that we didn't feel overly posed - these truly showcase our individual personalities. Thank you so much Brianna, for capturing these special moments for our growing family! We look forward to many more years of working with Brianna, and will treasure these for years to come. read more

Brianna is not just a professional photographer as many around. She has this magic allure and sensibility to catch the moment, what really lies behind a pose. It is hard to put words on something that only the owner of the pic can really and deeply understand, but rest assured! All the pics I have made with Brianna, are hanging on all my walls, and there is no time that, walking around home, I don't stop for few istants to do a long sigh of satisfaction and love. Brianna is magic, reasonably priced, serious and committed. Below, the b&w pic she made for me and my daughter. read more

Brianna Caldwell Photography - This is the very first thing I see when I wake up. Isn't gorgeous? - Session Photography Near Me

Brianna is an excellent photographer. She took our fall family photos and the whole experience was perfect. The appointment was easy to arrange. She sent me many location options for the photo shoot with different lightening. She brought over different wardrobe options to my house for me and my daughter to try on! She helped me choose shoes that would work for our family. She was incredible! She was so easy to work with on the day of the photo shoot. My young kids felt totally comfortable with her. I have worked with several other photographers in the past, and Brianna went above and beyond to make our photos so beautiful. She's very responsive by email, and I felt she had thought of all the details for our photo shoot session. She's exceptional! I highly recommend her. read more

My family of 4 (with 2 small children) did a family photo shoot with Brianna. The booking process was seamless, and she was very accommodating when it came to time and location. The photo session was casual, easy and fast. This is very important as we have two little ones who can lose interest very quickly. The photos came out beautifully. The lighting was amazing, and the photos really showed who we were. I would definitely work with her again in the future. read more

We had a great experience working with Brianna for our holiday family shoot. Parents know how challenged to 'manage' toddlers, they just can't stay focused for even a minute, but Brianna did a fantastic job engaging with kids. I believe this comes with years of experience, patience, and passion for the job. Lastly, the price is fair and affordable. We will definitely work with her again! read more

Brianna was extremely patient with kids. Capturing candid moments, while also getting them to look at camera. All of us thoroughly enjoyed the shoot. Highly recommend her! read more

Brianna is a treasure!! I can't recommend her enough. We booked her for a family portrait for our 18mo which unexpectedly became an extended family photo when our grandparents decided to visit. She was SO warm and fun with our daughter, and had an engaging and energetic style that put everyone at ease immediately. You can see in our photos that we are all relaxed and laughing the entire time! We were thrilled with the final photos and she had great turnaround and was very responsive. I'm definitely going to book her again if she has the time! read more

Brianna Caldwell Photography - Session Photography Near Me

Brianna has now photographed our family on three different occasions and I can't recommend her enough. She approaches the session with a vision and executes it beautifully with her calm and gentle energy. Most recently she was able to capture our family members from 9 months to age 70 despite the baby having stranger danger and two wiggly toddlers. We are forever grateful for her! read more

Brianna took our first photos as a family of 4 - Mom, Dad, our fur baby, and our newborn son. Our newborn was only 10 days old and I have to say, Brianna is the baby whisperer! Not once did he get fussy during the photo session (although there was a spit up!). She captured precious photos of him cutely posed (love our rings on toes pic) and also captured sweet candid moments of us just being at home. Those candid moments were by far the best shots from our session because they were so real and in the moment. Highly recommend Brianna! read more

Brianna is an amazing photographer! She took photos for our very delayed PhD graduation as a couple and we love them so much. She's easy-going which puts you at ease and allows the photos to come out more naturally. We took photos around UC Berkeley campus. Brianna had some brilliant ideas for where to place us so we'd get a cute shot. She also took some adorable candid shots; I love the mixture of photos that we got from our shoot. Brianna is extremely communicative and delivered edited photos quickly! She even sent me some sneak peeks right after the shoot. I highly recommend Brianna and I can't wait to have her capture more of our special moments! read more

Working with Brianna for our newborn shoot was great! I had forgotten to schedule a newborn shoot and realized this after my baby was born (oops). My friend recommended Brianna and she was so kind and flexible and was able to squeeze us into her schedule for a shoot! Brianna was great with our somewhat incorporative newborn and the pictures came out perfect. We're so happy to have had a fun time taking the photos and will treasure them forever. read more

We were referred by a friend, It was our first time working with Brianna and she is awesome!

Brianna is amazing! She somehow turned a rainy day with a grumpy toddler into a beautiful collection of photos. She's responsive and very quick turnaround. I highly reccomend! read more

Brianna took our maternity pictures and our newborn photos! She met us in the rain to do our maternity photos and they turned out amazing! She was easy to schedule with and showed up ready to get them done. Our newborn pictures were my favorite. She was SOO good with my 3 week old. She has 4 kids herself so i felt VERY comfortable with her wrapping my little guy and even getting him dressed for a picture. My pictures all turned out amazing and the experience was great. She brought everything to my house and spent 3+ hours with us and even took some pictures of my mom and bestie who were visiting! she brought props and a dress for me to wear! I would recommend Brianna for any family photos or maternity/newborn. I CANNOT wait to use her for all our family photos in the future! Thank you for being so amazing. read more

Brianna caught my attention during the pandemic when I happened to be scrolling through social media. At the time I had a rising senior who had just completed the obligatory senior portrait experience as was recommended by her high school (they used a company called Lifetouch). I was totally blown away by the sitting fee and package combinations offered to me and also surprised by how many people continued with their business just because it had been recommended by the school. I happen to be a photographer and know good work when I see it - I also know what is reasonable as a professional and client when it comes to cost. When I reached out to Brianna, I found that she was not only reasonable, but exceeded my expectations in all regards. The best part is, at the end of our communications and photo shoot, I was given a treasure trove that captured a special moment in my daughters life. Anyone who has gone through it knows that senior year truly flies by and to freeze time in the middle of that chaos is invaluable. Brianna had a very natural rapport with my daughter and made her feel easily comfortable when she felt camera shy. She was able to break awkward tension quickly and coached my daughter gently and appropriately so that her experience felt special. I highly recommend Brianna. It is rare to find someone so patient, talented, affordable and dedicated to her craft. Also, my teenager LOVES the result (and that, right there, says it all!) I can't thank you enough Brianna. Your gift has brought so many smiles to our family. read more

Literally my favorite family photo session I've ever had! She is amazing with children and infants. My kids felt so comfortable with her, and we were able to get great photos of them. Super professional, and fast turn around time! I was thrilled to see the sneak peaks and full gallery so quickly. Brianna oversaw our extended family photo session consisting of more than a dozen people. She was super organized in handling a large group, and my family and I were pleased with each and every photo. We'll cherish these pics forever! read more

Brianna Caldwell Photography - Session Photography Near Me

Brianna took our holiday shots with two boys who *hate* having their pictures taken. She literally is so good with kids, funny and FUN and you can tell she just gets them. She knew they had about 15 minutes TOTAL in them :) and got the perfect shots in that time, while being extremely good-natured. None of that -- "what is wrong with your kids?" vibe :) The pictures are GORGEOUS. Just an amazing eye for light, composition, and the JOY of families. HIRE HER. read more

Brianna was amazing, she was not only personable but she made us feel so comfortable. She guided us through the process of getting our engagement photos done and it was so fun - she made us laugh, smile and we did a lot of kissing! ;) She is an amazing photographer and she captured some amazing photos that will be printed and hung on our walls for years to come. Thanks again Brianna! read more

Absolutely fantastic. I would work with Brianna again in a heartbeat. The photos turned out incredibly and she made the process easy and fun. I don't have much experience posing and I often don't like my expressions in photos, but she managed to bring out the best. read more

We feel very lucky to find her for our maternity photoshoot. She is very responsive and answered all our questions with patient :) We met at Baker Beach right on time and she guided us to have perfect photos. She made us feel like a friend taking our photos therefore we were very relaxed :) Amazing photos at the end of the day. It's one of the best decisions we have made and looking forward to have our new born photos with her. read more

This was our first time ever getting professional family photos done and I can't get over what a wonderful experience it was with Brianna. Not only do the photo look absolutely AMAZING!!! But the experience as a whole was so great! Brianna is so incredibly nice, fun and easy to talk to; she gives your family direction on how to pose and what to do, which was great for me and my awkward husband hahaha! I'm just so happy we met Brianna and looking forward to getting more photos with her in the future! read more

Brianna did a phenomenal job. She put our boisterous crazy boys at ease and got some great shots of them looking like their usual cheeky selves! We will cherish these family pics. Thank you Brianna! read more

Brianna was amazing! We have two kids -- a 5 and 1.5 year old -- and she managed to capture beautiful photos of everyone. Our toddler doesn't like strangers at first, and then once he gets warmed up, doesn't sit still. So he is not the easiest photography model! But Brianna was not at all deterred, and got our whole family to feel comfortable and to have fun during the session. She was also very communicative during the whole process and the photos were ready and delivered to us very quickly. All in all, highly recommend!!!! read more

We can highly recommend Brianna Caldwell for both family and portrait photography. She was very talented at choosing the right background and finding great positions during our photo shooting. We were really impressed by her innovative ideas and her vision. She was very patient and funny with our two kids (1 and 2 yo), who both fell in love with her immediately. Moreover, Brianna was extremely professional and responded very quickly to our online requests. We received our edited photos within only 1 day and she did a truly amazing job! Compared to others, her prices are much more affordable and she also offers great package options. read more

Brianna is an absolute joy to work with! She is professional, kind, thoughtful, and talented. We worked with her to get family photos and it was such a great experience. Family photos can be stressful or awkward but this session was FUN! We're so happy with the beautiful photos as well. read more

Brianna took pictures of my toddlers. She was patient with their wild energy, and captured such beautiful expressions. She has a fun sense of humor and is easy to work with. I highly recommend her for capturing special moments as well as a snapshot of where you are. read more
