ABOUT BRI
BIOGRAPHY
Hello and thank you for visiting my website!
My name is Brianne (but you can call me Bri) and I am based out of Calgary, AB, Canada.
It can be tough writing biographies when you have so many ways to describe yourself… Wife, Mother, Daughter, Friend, Dancer, Artist. I split my time between many passions in life but a constant that has always remained with me is dance. I have always been a visual learner and storyteller, with dance being my artistic outlet of choice. Whether dancing in a show, or in the kitchen by myself, creating choreography for others and teaching my students, to artistic directing small and large scale stage productions, I surround myself with dance every day. Naturally, I gravitated towards dance and movement portraiture.
I love that photography pushes me to capture moments from a unique perspective that transcends the limitations of what we see with our naked eye. Photography is the ability to stop time, and that single moment lives on for eternity. It opened my mind to see things in greater detail while finding beauty in unsuspecting places. Photography allows me to explore my creative side while sharing my passion for dance. It gives me the ability to find unique perspectives within candid moments that catch raw and honest expression within subjects. My dance background pushes me to be more intentionally innovative with how a client's story is told; everyone has a tale to tell and through my lens I capture an authentic narrative in a way only a dancer can frame.
When you work with me you will find a supportive space to explore outside of the constraints of choreography. I design a uniquely creative and motivational method that is tailored to you. I will capture you authentically and true to my dance teacher nature, when I say “do that movement one more time”... prepare to do it at least three more times!
​
I apply the same principles to lifestyle and family portraits. Candid and joyful portraits that are full of love are what I strive for with every session.
