Meet your photographer

Hey, I’m Braidyn!

I’m a photographer located in Sheridan, Wyoming that specializes in newborns, families, and weddings

As a new mom, you don’t have to play photographer, stylist, and baby whisperer. I’m here to take it all off your plate so you can just be with your baby.

Get to know me

I photograph your stories so you can relive the newborn stage for the rest of your life.

I believe a photograph can tell more then a 1000 words can. I became a newborn photographer because I didn’t get those dreamy first-week photos when I had my baby.

I was exhausted, unsure, and just trying to make it through the day … photos felt like one more thing to figure out.

Now I get to be the person who steps in and says, “I’ve got this!”

You can relax, breathe, and walk away with images that feel like your baby’s first love story.

Getting a little vulnerable…

I feel on a deep level, which is how I tackle photography. It’s not about getting the perfect shot, it’s about getting the perfect reaction. I’m not the type of photographer that just shows up and takes your photos and leaves. I’m the photographer that shows up and immerses herself into your story.

5 years ago my dad died and the photo we used for his obituary was a photo a photographer had taken of him at a wedding. It was a photo that resembled him perfectly: a smile, his base ball cap, and holding a Miller Lite. That’s how I approach everything I photograph— how can I make these photos look like THEM?

It’s never been about the aesthetics, but the memories…

  • "She takes the time leading up to your session to get to know you and what you value being captured."

The year it all started

I had just met my husband, gotten laid off from my coal mine job, and recently out of a bad relationship.

Currently unemployed, I bought a camera with what was left of my savings. I started taking photos on donations and posting to facebook marketplace.

Took a leap of faith

My husband applied for a job on the island we got married on and they hired him. We took a leap of faith, sold everything in our life, and landed in Kona with 4 suitcases and dream.
