I’m Brandy, a wedding, lifestyle, and portrait photographer.
I pick up my camera to find the beauty in the simplest moments
Photography is an extension of my joie de vivre. I first picked up the camera to catch the small, daily, things in our lives, that we usually ignore. In my opinion, turning these moments into portraits can really show a person's essence. I do that for my life, my friends' lives, and I hope that I can do it for you as well.
01.
Fact 1
I am Italian American. I was born and raised in Anderson, IN. I was heading down a bad path in life, when I was in school I regularly skipped school to party, get high, drink, and got myself into some really bad situations because of it.
02.
Fact 2
I graduated from Anderson High School at the bottom of my class, barely scraping by. After seeing a few of my friends pass away, I knew I wanted to get out of that lifestyle, and I decided then to get sober. After I graduated, I went right to work at a factory for DeWalt building power tools. Being there and having control of my life was the push I needed to stay clean. I have been sober for almost a decade now, and I am very proud of how far I've come.

Fact 3
In late 2019, they announced the factory was closing and we were all losing our jobs. Then I found out I was pregnant 3 weeks after the announcement. Since they sent my job overseas, I qualified for a federal program and I was able to get paid to go to school. I stayed home with my daughter enrolled in school full time while building a photography business from scratch during a national pandemic.

Fact 4
I graduated from Indiana Wesleyan University with my Associates in Business in April of 2023 with a 3.9 GPA which has helped me build my business from the ground up. I am incredibly passionate about capturing memories for others and I will continue to do so as long as life allows me to.
KIND WORDS
You did an amazing job and everyone was so impressed with your professionalism and dedication to being everywhere to make sure you got everything. You even did great with my dad complaining the entire time. I couldn't be happier with our pictures and have told everyone to reach out to you if they need a photographer. Again, thank you so much for your time and effort in making my day perfect!
