about Brittany
A third generation photographer, I grew up in a home with beautiful, old black & white portraits lining our walls & filling our drawers. I think I've always loved faces, relationships & artistic storytelling because of it. After graduate school, I moved home, opened my portrait company and never looked back! I've been helping families to tell their love stories professionally for the last 17 years and for you, that means: reliable, consistent, quality work, every time!

"Brittany is absolutely amazing!!! She recently did our second child’s newborn photos and they turned out stunning!!!! I found her when she took our oldest child’s newborn photos and have used her for lots of our other family photos over the past 3 years! She is so talented and also has the most wonderful and personable yet very professional personality that makes the entire process seem easy, even with a newborn and a 3 year old running around! I can’t say enough wonderful things about our experience and the beautiful photos she took!"

"If you’re looking for a photographer for your newborn and/or family photos, look no further! Brittany at Asheville Portrait Company is your girl. Whether you’re wanting an intimate studio session with all the most tasteful and precious props or an outdoor session surrounded by epic Asheville scenery, you won’t be disappointed.
Brittany did my newborn session recently and I was blown away by her patience, especially when my baby decided she no longer wanted to participate in the shoot halfway through! I appreciated the fact that Brittany never made us feel rushed and always followed the baby’s cues. And the resulting photos were perfect.
Additionally, she knew just how to appeal to my toddler by being silly and keeping a stash of toys and snacks at the ready.
We will definitely use Asheville Portrait Company for future milestones!"

"We did our newborn session with Brittany. She was fabulous! She was professional and gave us some pointers to make it easier as a newborn can be unpredictable and the session was awesome. The pictures turned out better than I could have hoped! Thank you so much Asheville Portrait Company! You are the best!!"

Most Newborn Sessions happen at my Newborn Photography Studio located in Asheville. The studio is beautiful, comfortable and well appointed for your family & your baby's Newborn Portrait Session.
The best time for Newborn Portraits is between days 12 - 15 after birth. Not only does this give you a couple weeks at home to recover & establish a rhythm at home before I ask you to come out to the studio but also -- typically by this time jaundice has cleared, feeding issues have been resolved, baby acne has come and gone and baby will have had time to heal from any procedures after birth.
Your Baby's Newborn Portrait Session Proofs will be delivered within 7 days of your Baby's Portrait Session. You can either schedule an in-person ordering appointment at the studio or I can deliver an online proof gallery if that feels more supportive!
I am happy to photograph your new baby in the comfort of your home if that feels more supportive for you! However it's important that you understand that an in-home, lifestyle newborn session looks very different than a studio session because we'll be shooting without props, studio lighting or set styling. Please reach out if you would like to discuss this further!
I can only accept a maximum of 5 families for Newborn Portraits each month. Most parents book their baby's Newborn Portrait Session around 25-30 weeks and thus my shoot calendar fills up quickly. Its important to schedule as soon as possible to ensure my availability for your baby!
