Hello, I'm Brianna

Minneapolis Photographer

Hi! My name is Brianna, though everyone calls me Bri! I'm a photographer, Diet Coke enthusiast, traveler at heart, wife and mom to a sweet toddler boy. I live in South Minneapolis, with my husband, our son Graham, and our Sheepadoodle - Diego. Since my son was born, I've been a full-time stay at home mom. But, I also have a Masters in Psychology and have worked in social work and mental health for years.


My love of photography has been lifelong and since starting Stillhouse Photography in May 2025, it has quickly become my second full time job. I feel truly blessed to be both a stay-at-home mom and a photographer. Being home with my little one reminds me every day of how quickly time passes and how important it is to hold onto the small, meaningful moments. That same appreciation inspires my work and fuels my passion for capturing those real, heartfelt connections for other families. Balancing motherhood with photography is a gift, and I’m grateful that I get to pour my heart into raising my son while also creating memories that families will cherish for generations.



 

My Approach

 

My photography approach is natural, relaxed, and focused on capturing the genuine moments that unfold effortlessly. I believe the best images come from real connection - not forced poses - so I guide you gently while encouraging authentic interaction, movement, and emotion. By allowing your family to simply be yourselves, I’m able to document honest smiles, meaningful connection, and the beautiful, everyday moments that make your story uniquely yours. The result is a collection of images that feel warm, real, and true to who you are.

Natural light is the heart of my photography. I love using soft, golden sunlight to create images that feel warm, airy, and full of life. Whether we’re shooting during the gentle glow of golden hour or in a bright, open space indoors, natural light helps bring out authentic emotion and beautiful skin tones while keeping everything soft and timeless. It lets your family move, play, and connect naturally, allowing me to capture those candid, heartfelt moments in the most flattering and honest way possible.
