Whether barefoot by the ocean or bathed in studio light, my family and maternity sessions are designed to feel effortless, emotional, and artful. We’ll create a thoughtful mix of playful, candid moments and beautifully directed portraits that feel like you: connected, natural, and fully present.
From the quiet anticipation of maternity to the intimacy of Fresh 48 and the evolving story of your growing family, each session is thoughtfully tailored to you. I’ll offer gentle direction when needed while leaving plenty of room for the real moments, personalities, and connections that make your family yours.
Your photographs are meant to live beyond the screen. From handcrafted albums and folio boxes to matted and framed fine art prints, every image can become something tangible to enjoy in your home and pass down for generations.
I believe the photographs you treasure most are the ones that bring you right back to how this season of life felt. My sessions leave space to slow down, connect, and create genuine moments and beautiful portraits that become part of your family’s story for generations.
Your family doesn’t need to fit into a 15-minute window.
My private sessions are customized around your family, giving us time to settle in, play, explore, and create without rushing. We can incorporate a favorite activity, meaningful location, or simply let the session unfold naturally while I guide you through a beautiful mix of candid storytelling and editorial portraits.
More time gives us room to capture the little personalities, unexpected moments, and milestone memories that make this chapter uniquely yours.

Working with Breana Isley was unreal — her vision and artistic eye was everything, and there was never a moment where she didn't have our complete trust. Our wedding day was magical, and she captured every detail and moment impeccably.

We've been clients for 5 years, but this time we opted for a formal session. I literally cried happy tears when I saw the images. The 3 piece wall art collection was a no brainer, and I smile every day when I look at us on the wall at our most treasured investment.

Breana’s work speaks for itself. Gorgeous!!! She was super calm and chill on the shoot and was great with my daughters, and the final product is perfection. Being in the entertainment industry, I’ve worked with a lot of photographers, and I am super critical. Breana has an amazing eye and a real natural talent. She is an absolute pro!!! I cannot wait to work with her again!
