Do we pick the location or do you?
If you have a special location in mind then we will meet there.
If not, I have a few spots in Parkes that I love to shoot at.
If you are located 50kms out of Parkes then we can discuss doing some location scounting together.
Anywhere with some long grass, gum trees, water or hills will be perfect!
Can we reschedule in case of illness or bad weather?
Yes of course! Just please let me know as soon as you can if you need to postpone due to sickness.
If the forecast looks wet, we can play it by ear and wait until the morning of the photoshoot.
What time should we book our photoshoot for?
This depends on the type of photoshoot. If you are after a outdoor photoshoot then I always recommend golden hour which is a hour before sunset.
Indoor shoots can happen any time of the day.
We have never had our photo taken, what should we do with our hands etc?
A first photoshoot can probably feel a bit awkward to start with but I promise you will relax very quickly. I will give some posing prompts and snap candid's behind the scenes.
There will never be a moment where you feel like your hands are third wheeling!
Do you watermark your photos?
No I don't.
When will I receive my photos?
I always aim to send you all the finished and edited photos within 2-3 days. Weddings excluded.
What is your style?
My style is capturing candid moments with desaturated colours. I love raw emotion and details.
Movement, water, spinning, running, climbing, poses, wind and laughter.
How long have you been doing photography for?
I have always been behind a camera but I started by filming a friends wedding in 2021. The rest is history.
What kind of videography do you offer?
I offer a "behind the scenes" type of video. I have worked with a gimbal set up but I prefer to work free-hand.
I also do all of my own video editing and can cater to your choice of music and style.

"So friendly and approachable"
Brittney was the best photographer/videographer we could have asked for. From the moment we started working with her everything was easy. She was so friendly and approachable, that nothing was an issue. We certainly were not the easiest couple to work with as we had no idea what we wanted and had to keep rescheduling trials etc. but she kept with us. On the day she did an incredible job. She fitted right in, everyone loved her. We had so many comments from guests both on the day and afterwards about how fantastic she was and we couldn't agree more! Nothing was an issue and she made the whole process fun for everyone. We are super awkward when it comes to photos but she still managed to work her magic! I'm so glad we chose Brittney for our special day, I would select her again in a heartbeat.
Thank you Brittney!
