Business description (provided by the business owner):

I started my photography business with one goal in mind-BE DIFFERENT. I wanted to provide quality photography at an affordable price.

A studio will rush you through your photo shoot, limiting your time and over charge you for your prints, almost completely removing the human element from the experience. Here at B4 Photography, I bring my own suggestions but allow the client to run the session to bring out their own vision. If your child is hungry or you need to relax, I understand and encourage you to take the time so I can ensure that your pictures have the outcome that you desire. As a WAHM of 3 girls, I understand!

I am an on location photographer--meaning I come to your home and set up a studio, or I will meet you at any outdoor location of your choice. I do have an at home studio for those who prefer to come to me.

I strive to get good quality and natural shots with each session. A session will last from 1 hour to 1 ½ hours. With each session I will usually take over 100 pictures. Once the editing process is completed, I will provide you with a CD of all of the edited photos, along with a photographer’s release. This will give you the freedom to choose when, where and what you print. All sessions include wardrobe changes. All CDs are of edited photos--including blemish removal, teeth whitening, black and white, high contrast, color tinting, and addition of text. Most special requests can be fulfilled.

There are no hidden fees with me. I also offer a referral program--if you send me your friends and family, then you will get discounts off of your next session or free prints from your previous session. I am proud that my business has grown based on word of mouth from happy customers.

My mission is to have classic photos that can be cherished for generations by family and friends. My goal is to capture your moments and make them last a lifetime!

Saying that Brandi is amazing is an understatment. She truly goes far beyond amazing. We bought the first year package when our son was born and thanks to Brandi we haven't missed a moment of him growing up. She truly did an amazing job at capturing each stage and it's not just a "picture" of our sons we will remember. We will remember his personality and what he was like because of her photograps right down to how he smiled at that time, how he loved to show his belly, tilt his head sideways to be silly and every funny face he made along the way and it's those things we will always cherish and remember because she took the time at each session to photograph who he was in that moment. She the best!!!

Wow! I came here to leave a review for B4 Photography and was nearly knocked over by the negative review that was last posted. Before I give you my review with Brandi let me start by saying there are some people that are simply impossible to satisfy. There are some people who feel when they hire somebody that it gives them the right to demand things of that person. While reading the previous post I couldn't quite understand all the negativity. First she did offer a retake due to a fussy baby, don't see anything wrong in her saying that she usually doesnt do that. Secondly, the postoffice is not exactly reliable. The fact that she made up for that by HAND DELIVERING the cd in the first place shows just how much she CARES about her clients. Show me any other company that would hand deliver something because it was lost in the mail. I say good for Brandi in weeding out clients who are impossible to please. Isnt the saying you can please some people some of the time but you can please all people all of the time. I encourage you to meet with Brandi first before you make a snap judgement about her ability to run her business. She is the ONLY photographer that has ever taken pictures of my son and my sister FLEW FROM OHIO to have Brandi take pictures of my neice and nephew. Pretty sure there are some of those dime a dozen photographers in Ohio. Problem is NOT ONE OF THEM compare to Brandi's work, her passion, and her love of taking pictures. Things happen, kids get sick, people get stuck in traffic. I say get over it. It sounds like she did all she could to rectify the situation. Im pretty sure it didn't take two months to get the pictures back. I've been with Brandi for almost three years and I have NEVER waited two months. NOT EVEN AT CHRISTMAS TIME when she is jammed packed for three months. I promise you there are many many more positive experiences to this one. There are two sides to every story. Just saying

I have had a very negative experience with Brandi and this business. Let me say that Brandi takes gorgeous photographs, but the way she runs her business leaves much to be desired. Here is a list of what I had to put up with during the two times I used her:

1. Called and said she would be late to our newborn session by over an hour. This presents a problem when you have a newborn that is only awake and happy at certain times of the day and you are breastfeeding.

2. Our first picture CD was "lost" in the mail. Brandi did drive it over though so this wasn't a big deal to me at the time.

3. When we met for our second session Brandi took calls during our time with her (which was with a 6 month old in over 100 degree heat). She also talked negatively about another client, which I think is very unprofessional.

4. At our second session our baby was fussy due to the hour car ride to the Arboretum and the 100 degree plus heat. Brandi OFFERED to reschedule another 30 minutes on another day. I did not ask for this since I had no idea that was even an option.

5. When I was to meet Brandi for this makeup session she called 10 minutes before (when I was already in the car and almost at the location) to tell me her child was sick and she had to reschedule. I understood since I am a mother too and that comes first.

6. We rescheduled to another day and again I was almost to the location and Brandi calls and says she is stuck in traffic and not able to make it since she has to be at another session shortly. This time I am really mad- this is totally disrespectful of my time. Brandi also tells me she doesn't normally even reschedule more time if a baby is fussy- this makes me really mad since she is the one who offered to do it!!

7. We finally have the makeup session and everything goes well, so I think maybe we just had a bad succession of events and try to give Brandi the benefit of the doubt. Well, then 2 months go by and I still haven't received my CD. I talk to Brandi on the phone and she tells me my CD was "lost" again- she says she mailed it 2 weeks ago. I am annoyed, but still happy the pics are ready and I will be getting them soon. She tells me she has been having a problem with her packaging in the mail and some CDs are getting damaged and returned. I make a comment in passing about how we get Netflix and they seem to show up fine with their slim mail packaging. I in no way mean this to imply that Brandi is lying about her mail problems, I am simply suggesting a different packaging.

8. Brandi shows up at my house to drop off the missing CD the next day. I would like to note that she offered to do this. Upon arriving she points out that she "doesn't deliver CDs to people and especially not on Sunday"- again she is the one who OFFERED to do this. Then she hands me my CD and a check for a partial refund and tells me she can no longer be my photographer because she thinks I was implying she lied about the CD mail problem because of my Netflix comment! Wow!!

So, to sum it up, let me tell you that Brandi's pics are gorgeous but it is not worth the drama that will ensue after you hire her! She obviously is very busy with her own kids, but you cannot run a business this way. I think she will find that out in the long run unfortunately. I honestly would have "fired" her myself if I hadn't loved her pictures so much. But, honestly photographers are a dime a dozen and I'm sure I can find someone who will treat me and my child courteously and with respect the next time.

I can't say enough great things about Brandi!! We recently got our daughter's one year pictures taken by her and we couldn't be more happy with the result! She is so talented and takes the time to get great shots. The best part about b4 photography is the price includes a cd of your pictures so you can make your own prints!! What a huge money saver! She is amazing and we will be going back to her for years to come! I highly recommend her to anyone!

Rated Five Stars by a Mom in Hurst, TX on Mar. 20, 2009

We are about to take our sixth mini-session with Brandi. Our family is NOT wealthy (read: paycheck to paycheck), but once we had used Brandi, we were hooked. The best pictures I have of my daughter were taken by her. Although there are cheaper photographers around, you get what you pay for with B4 - she is fabulous! My only regret is that we did not find her till my daughter was six months old!

Rated Five Stars by a Mom in Little Elm, TX on Mar. 17, 2009

I met Brandi 2 years when she was just getting started! She has ALWAYS had such a drive and passion to succeed and be great and THAT is what she did! She has done pictures for me NUMEROUS times, and even for my business! I have loved watching grow as a photographer and let me tell you...this girl has some amazing ideas!! She comes up with SO many brand new ideas and very cool locations. Your pics will always be unique, fun and ABSOLUTELY gorgeous!! She stays up with whats "hip" in the photography world and always has fresch new props and CHAIRS!! She is SO great with the kids (even the teenagers who HATE to have their pics taken) and she instantly make you feel comfortable during your shoot. She has an amazing gift and a great eye. She freezes time and turns it in to art. WE LOVE YOU BRANDI!! Don't ever stop doing what you do...I will be REALLY mad at you!!! LOL Love ya girl!!

Brandi was really great to work with, and our pictures turned out great! I have a 5 month old little girl, Marley. Brandi took her 4 month pictures last month and they were awesome! Brandi was very patient with Marley, she took her time to capture her little personality. Brandi is extremely professional, fun to work with, and a perfectionist. She is everything you want your photographer to be! I would definitely refer her to anyone looking for a great photographer - I already have my next photo session appointment with Brandi!

Rated Five Stars by a Mom in Frisco, TX on Mar. 14, 2009

Brandi is a very gifted photographer! Her ability to capture all types of expressions in children (smiling, laughing, flirting, playing, crying, etc. . . ) is unequivocal. The pictures she took of my children are priceless and for that I am thankful! I'll definitely use B4 Photography in the future!

Rated Five Stars by a Mom in Hurst, TX on Mar. 13, 2009

I used Brandi last fall for amazing shots of my daughter in the "pumpkin patch". We loved the photos and the grandparents have put them EVERYWHERE! Brandi captures your child as you see them - beautiful and perfect. We are signed up for the "Babies and Bunnies" session and can't wait.

Rated Five Stars by a Mom in Rockwall, TX on Mar. 13, 2009

My 1st experience with B4 Photography and far from my last was great. It was comfortable, easy and what I loved more was the understanding she brought to the shoot. I had a materniy shoot with her and took my other 2 kids with me to share in some photos. She didnt get mad when my youngest wanted to run around, wouldn't cooperate with the pics. Or how my oldest just wanted to go play instead of posing. Nor was she annoyed with how long it took for me to change outfits...she made it all about my comfortness and handled it all with patience...for that and how beautiful the pictures came out to be I will always come bk to her for more beautiful memories. =) She rocks my socks!!

LOVE Brandi, she was so great about scheduling, driving to my house in Dallas TWICE only to have to cancel the session due to lighting issue's. ( I was so anxious to have pictures done in my living room and we tried but but would not work) When I got busy being a Mom and forgot to schedule my newborn session, she squuezed me in when my son was 3 months old and worked with me for over 2 hours. She is a real find!

Rated Five Stars by a Mom in Arlington, TX on Mar. 11, 2009

Words can't describe how AWESOME Brandi is. She has given us such a special gift and precious memories of our daughter Avery and our family. I would and do recommend Brandi to anyone and everyone. She is just amazing and will be our family photographer for many more years to come.

Brandi is WONDERFUL! Her talent shows in each picture she takes. Even through a few photo sessions where my daughter would not smile, Brandi still took beautiful pictures that I will cherish forever. Then finally in our 4th mini-session we got smiles!! I will not go to any other photographer in the metroplex!! Can't wait...we have another photo session next weekend!

Brandi is awesome! Right away I was very comfortable with her and her ideas. She comes up with some of the most creative and amazing pictures. I highly recommend her!

Rated Five Stars by a Mom in Grapevine, TX on Dec. 19, 2008

There are not enough stars available to give Brandi a fair review. She is beyond AMAZING!!! She recently did a session with my crabby 18 months old twins and I was CERTAIN that she didn't get anything worth bragging about. They were sooo awful. But, when I got my Cd, I cried at what beautiful moments she saw through her camera when all I could see were two snotty, crying children. I don't even remember them NOT crying at any point but she sure did and I have some beautiful pictures now because of her patience and talent.

I'll admit that I was "trying her out" but I will NEVER go anywhere else! It could never get any better than the great experience that we had with Brandi! I will tell every person about B4 Photography who wants to know where they can get HIGH DOLLAR quality and professionalism at a price that won't make you cringe! I am soooo happy that I found her!

Rated Five Stars by a Mom in Fort Worth, TX on Sep. 13, 2008

I found Brandi on MySpace almost a year ago now and just couldn't wait for me to get big enough to make an appt. for her to do my maternity picts. We ended up getting the maternity pkg which included the maternity pictures, newborn pictures, and then a family session. We got to do two different locations (Fort Worth Stockyards and her studio) and had multiple outfit changes! Shortly thereafter she came to our house for our newborn picts and then we also went to her studio for those as well. Both times, she hand delivered the CD of picts to me, which I just couldn't wait to see!

She has an excellent eye for different and it shows through her photographs. Who would have thought that my 5 day old baby could look so precious laying on my console table or sitting in an Easter bucket!!

We have our next appt w/ Brandi for our family session which will be at Chandor Gardens, she always has the best suggestions for new places. However, we did just enjoy one of her mini sessions at the Canals in Las Colinas for my son and his cousin. As usual, the picts were too cute; she had them sitting in vintage suitcases!

Obviously, I could just go on and on about B4 Photography, but you should just check her out yourself! She will definitely be my go-to for picts from now on!

Rated Five Stars by a Mom in Denton, TX on Sep. 12, 2008

Brandi's photography is absolutely amazing! Her style is so unique, creative, and beautiful. I recently used her for a photo session with my 3 year old son and 1 year old twins and she was so laid back and wonderful with them that she was able to capture their every look and mood...not just smiles. We were all so comfortable with her during our session and she's been so responsive since, that I won't use anyone else to take their photos ever again! The pictures are stunning and I love that I can print them out anywhere I choose. We love Brandi!

I truly enjoyed our session. Brandi is very patient and has so many fabulous ideas. I was very excited and satisfied when I received my photos. BRANDI IS TRULY AMAZING AND TALENTED.

Rated Five Stars by a Mom in Irving, TX on Sep. 12, 2008

I've used Brandi three times and have loved the pictures each and every time. Being the proud mama that I am, I have to bring the pictures to work to show off. It never fails that every time I bring them in, someone asks who the photographer was and books a session with Brandi. The last session we did was an extended family photo session with the grandparents, my husband and myself, and our daughter. Upon seeing the results, we've decided to make a photo session with Brandi and annual family tradition. Thanks Brandi- we love you!

Rated Five Stars by a Mom in Garland, TX on Sep. 07, 2008

Her pictures speak for themselves... even if she was terrible to work with I'd put up with it for those results! But fortunately she is as nice as can be! It's torture waiting for your CD because it takes time to edit the pictures... but well worth the wait! She is the only photographer I will ever hire.

Rated Five Stars by a Mom in Garland, TX on Aug. 31, 2008

I am a retired professional photographer and I can say with complete honesty that I would rather her take my child's portraits then myself. My child was at home with Brandi, relaxed, and Brandi is the only other photographer that she has ever let take her portraits. Brandi is very professional, provides #1 service with her attitude, the way she treats the clients and especially the children. I would only recommend herto my friends or previous clients. She feels like family!

Rated Five Stars by a Mom in Frisco, TX on Aug. 27, 2008

Brandi is the consummate professional, but not the stuffy kind! She was so sweet to me and my kids. She was the first professional photographer that I used for my twins, and she did an amazing job! Her work is amazing!

Rated Five Stars by a Mom in Chicago, IL on Aug. 25, 2008

Brandi took our daughter's one year old photos and they were amazing! She offered an assortment of super cute tutu's and hair bows - at no extra charge - and really made us feel relaxed throughout the entire session. It was nerve wracking with a one year old as you never know how much they will work with you - Brandi was so patient and really understood how to get our daughter to take brillant photos. We actually travel all the way from Chicago just to get her exceptional photos! I can't wait until we can book another session with her!

Rated Five Stars by a Mom in Keller, TX on Aug. 20, 2008

I ought to get paid for the referrals that are generated from the pictures Brandi did of my little man Brennan. People stop me constantly and ask where I get the image that I have on my purse. I looked at lower cost, lower class primate companies but they had point and shoot quality pictures and they lacked a certain flair that Brandi encompasses.

I highly recommend B4 Photography.

Rated Five Stars by a Mom in Aubrey, TX on Aug. 16, 2008

Brandi is amazing! She is so down to earth and patient. My son typically doesn't do well with photographers and he took right to her. She simply has a gift as a person and as an unbelievable photographer which, without question, you can see in her work. I receive constant compliments on her photos of my son. We adore Brandi and love knowing she will be behind the camera of every important milestone in our lives going forward.

Rated One Star by a Mom in Dallas, TX on Aug. 14, 2008

My experience with B4 Photography was by far a negative one. Below you will find some of the events that made it such a negative experience.

* My first appointment was for my son to have his 6-month pictures. We had to wait for the photographer to take pictures of her daughter first (in the heat).

* The photographer brought her husband and daughter to the session. Which I felt that was a distraction.

* I was told I would get my pictures (CD) in 14 days. It took over 2 months before I finally received them in the mail.

Despite those issues and giving the benifit of the doubt, I scheduled his 1-year pictures making sure I allowed plenty of time to get them.

* I confirmed several days before the appointment and yet after driving over an hour and a half we waited for an hour before learning B4 Photography FORGOT.

B4 Photography conducts business in a poor manner as far as I am concerned. It was a very unprofessional experience.

Rated Five Stars by a Mom in Garland, TX on Aug. 12, 2008

I decided to use B4 Photography after researching print prices of other photographers. I am so glad I chose her! Her fees are the best because you can print what you want and you do not have to choose just a few pictures. The CD of ALL of your pictures is yours to keep. And her pictures are the BEST! When I first opened my newborn session, I sat at the computer crying. Her pictures are so moving--they are real and in the moment. (My friend chose to use Brandi after seeing our pictures.) Brandi is creative and brings different ideas to her work. Brandi will be our family photographer for years to come! I love this lady and her work!!

Rated Five Stars by a Mom in North Richland Hills, TX on Aug. 12, 2008

First of all, let me start off by saying that I now have a photographer for life. B4 is truly amazing. For starters, Brandi worked with me on finding a location. I went back and forth at the end, on where to have her shoot, and she never once was annoyed. We found a location, and met there that morning. The photo shoot was of my daughters (age 5 and 9 mths). She was amazing with my girls. Had a fun sense of humor, and was able to warm up to the baby right at the beginning (who by the way has "strange danger"!) She got many many shots, and we really had a good time. B4 is so unique in the way that she had so many "props" for me to choose from for the girls. I never knew a photographer that would bring it all to the location, and let me choose what the girls would wear. (at NO additional cost). Brandi has lots of energy, and is just so pleasant to be around. At the end of our photoshoot we were walking to the car, and she had mentioned that she had only been asleep for a couple of hours, because she got a call in the night for a NILMDTS session. I never would have known she was lacking sleep. What pride and dedication she has to her job, and to her clients. My CD arrived right on time, and WOW! I was in shock at how beautiful the photos were. The detail, touch-ups if needed, lighting, unique shots, it was all just perfect. So with this said, as I mentioned at the beginning, I now have a photographer for life! Thanks Brandi!

B4 Photography is the BEST! I have used her twice and she doesn't even compare to the other photographers I've used. She photographed my 2 year old and my 9 month old twins and got amazing pictures. When I received my CD (actually 2 cd's full of pics - 176 to be exact), I couldn't believe it. She was able to make my kids look like they were professional models. I would highly recommend B4 Photography!! I have payed $1000's before for a professional photographer and they don't even compare to the quality you get with Brandi, not to mention the great value she is AND the best part you get all the pictures from you session to print where and when you want! Use her, you won't be disappointed!

Rated Five Stars by a Mom in Whigham, GA on Aug. 12, 2008

Brandi is amazing. I was very lucky to have her photograph my daughter and unlike some photographers, she didn't mind rolling on the ground and getting dirty to get the perfect shot. She is very sweet and down to earth. I have and will continue to recommend her to anyone and everyone who will listen! Her work is truly original and I love how she captures the photographs most photographers wouldn't think about. Thanks again Brandi for everything!

Brandi is a FABULOUS photographer! When she took pictures of my twins, she was able to get such great photos out of them with them both smiling and looking at the camera...something I couldn't get myself. When I got my CD of photos, the photos were so beautiful. The colors were vivid, the details were crisp, and the emotions she captured with her camera were amazing! I would highly recommend Brandi to shoot your photos!

Rated Five Stars by a Mom in Keller, TX on Aug. 12, 2008

I had my first photo session with Brandi in April of this year and I could not have been happier with the results. My breath was literally taken away when I first saw the finished pictures. Brandi is by far the best photographer I have ever used and will be the last. No one else will ever get my photography business again! I love that I get the edited cd and I can print out whatever whenever I want without paying an arm and a leg for them. Brandi is so down to earth and so patient with the children. I have already used her 3 times since April and I am scheduling another session this winter. I highly recommend B4 Photography to anyone who is wanting to get beautiful pictures of their family that you can't get anywhere else!

There aren't words enough to praise our experience with Brandi & B4 Photography. Not only did we have an amazing time with very little realization we were even being photographed we also received unbelievable images that captured the 'real' us. It has been a long journey for us to get pregnant so we wanted something special to capture what is probably my last pregnancy. Brandi gave us that and so much more. Now I can't wait to have my little bundle so we can have an official family photo, taken by Brandi of course.

Rated Five Stars by a Mom in Ennis, TX on Nov. 07, 2007

We used Brandi for taking pics of our little girl and they came out so amazing!! We started looking for an individual to take our daughters pictures because we went with a big company and they scheduled 4 people for the same time just in case someone did not show!! With Brandi we felt at ease she was excellent with my little girl and the pictures were phenomenal! I fell very comfortable recommending Brandi to anyone looking for a photographer.

Also on another note I thought it was completly tacky of her former friend to give her a bad comment. Seriously as a business owner herself I thought it was uderly classless to go on here just to trash her!!! That's okay she did say that she was a good photographer and along with all the other reviews hopefully people will see who is telling the truth.

Rated Five Stars by a Mom in Fort Worth, TX on Nov. 07, 2007

This was the most amazing photography experiece. As a new mother I was wanting to capture different phases of my little girls life and I was paying different photographers huge amounts of money for photos that weren't worth the paper they were printed on. I was disappointed each time.
Finally a girl I work with told me about B4 photography and showed me some pictures that she had done. They were gorgeous. I immediatly thought that photos of that quality would be way out of my price range. I called and got the session fees and I was shocked. It was way less than I had been paying for these other pictures. Needless to say I booked a session and now I have the most wonderful pictures of my little angel. Brandi (the photographer) was so patient with my daughter and took alot of time picking out just the right spot. SHe even stopped to give my baby girl time to have a quick snack to keep her in the mood for more pictures! :)Thanks B4 Photography!

Thanks so much for the great pictures! I will never go back to "traditional" photographers again! I look forward to working with you in the future.

B4-photography is amazing. She has taken my daughters 7 month/ 1yr pics. Both pictures turned out gorgeous. She is very original and makes every baby differnt with her ideas. She takes her time to capture every moment and doesnt rush your session. She knows how to interact and make any baby smile. I would and have recommended her to anyone and everyone who wants to capture that special milestone. Also she is not pricy at all very resonable.

B4 Photography is awesome! The One Year pics she took of our baby were perfect. Brandi does a great job of capturing personalities on film! I couldn't be more pleased.

Brandi is the best at what she does! She was able to create the type of pictures that I've been wanting of my babies and family for an affordable price. She is SO patient and willing to work with you in any way to have a successful outcome! The quality of her work is the best and I would and have been recommending her to everyone! I will definitely be using her again!

***UPDATE***

I received my disk!!!! The photos are INCREDIBLE!!! I have been singing her praises to everyone I know who has kids, grandkids or nieces & nephews. while viewing the photos I did get a little teary eyed just because of what she captured. She is amazing....BETTER THAN 5 STARS!!!!

After our session needing to be rescheduled several times, to do child illness, weather, & events outside of our control. We had our session on Saturday Aug 4th. I had many hopes of what it would be like, I had only done studio shots of my son, & snapshots myself, so I had really high expectations. Brandi is above & beyond anything I could have imagined!

We got to the Botanical Gardens & I felt as though I had known her for years. She is very personable, & was awesome with my son. She took such great pictures, & for sure captured things with her camera I never could have. Her creativity is out of the world. She took pictures of Logan doing things I never would have thought would have made a good picture. I got to see some of them on her camera while we were changing the setting or the clothes or the location. We took so many pictures all over the place. Most of all Logan is still talking about being with Miss Brandi at the Picture Park. We were even able to catch a turtle & used it as a prop in some pictures. She was up, down, sitting and laying on the ground to get the best angle of the picture.

I have never felt that anyone has been able to capture the 'Raw Emotion of the moment'like she is able to do with her camera.

I will reccommend her to anyone, and I will be using her again, for family pictures, Christmas, my son's birthday pictures and any other milestone I need to have the perfect picture taken of.

We love Brandi!!!! She did a shoot with me and my 9 month old daughter for Father's Day and she was great!!! We did several wardrobe changes and she was very patient. She had great ideas and was very personable. I can't wait to use her for Sadie's 1 year pics.

I recently used b4photography for my baby's 7 month photos. They turned out amazing. Brandi is sweet and did a great job engaging our baby. We could not have gotten better photos! She also brought her own props (tutu and hair clips) which made the photos extra special. I will recommend her to all my friends and I can't wait to use her again!

SHE IS VERY CREATIVE!!! I knew the first time I talked with her she would be as warm hearted as when I met her with for the photos. She is comforting with the kiddos and loves her work. USE HER 4 UR PHOTOS!!!!!

Brandi is so patient with the wee little ones. She took some wonderful and creative photos of my 9 month old son who is always on the go. Brandi is very professional, got my proofs to me very timely and is very reasonably priced. I loved that there was no pressure to buy pictures that day or to choose a package that wasn't going to fit my needs. She worked her schedule to accomodate our needs. I can't wait for her to do our next set of photos.

Rated Five Stars by a Mom in Grapevine, TX on Aug. 02, 2007

Brandi - we LOVE our pictures! When I look at them they truly bring tears to my eyes. You captured the kids personalities with your special touch. And I love the way you edited the pictures. I don't ever want to go back to a stuffy old studio for pictures of my family!! Thank you!!!

Rated Five Stars by a Mom in Anna, TX on Jul. 05, 2007

Brandi is as incredible in person as her beautiful work is in pictures. She spent a relaxed time with our family, making sure to get the shots I wanted, even letting me sneak a peek at the digital images as we went(hello!)and worked patiently with all of our children. The CD we received went well beyond our expectations both in the number of images and their exceptional quality. She captured each child so well, and even got the whole family to smile at once! Aside from the quality and creativity of the photos, the most important difference with Brandi for me was that I did not have to make decisions about how many of what pose, etc., under pressure right after the session in order to get the best rate or "package deal". One fee, the CD comes, and I can print or re-print as long as I want. Which I will do because there are sooo many beautiful pictures on this CD! Thank you, Brandi!!

Rated Five Stars by a Mom in Flower Mound, TX on Jul. 03, 2007

Brandi takes amazing pictures, even with difficult subjects! My 2 year old wasn't quite as enthusiastic as I hoped she'd be, so I was concerned that her pictures would not be what I was looking for. I was wrong! Brandi has an incredible eye for catching the right shots, and my daughter's pictures turned out beautiful. I have paid close to $1000 for studio pictures before, and these pictures are better (and more creative) for a fraction of the cost. I highly recommend B4 Photography and have told all my friends about it!

Loved working wtih Brandi. She was extremely patient during the shoot and was able to capture some great photos despite what seemed like total chaos in trying to control a rambunctous 15 month old! Love her work - can't wait for the next session with her.

Brandi recently took pictures of my 7 year old and my baby at the Dallas Arboretum. She spent over 2 hours with us and was very patient and kind. She had fabulous ideas and was very professional. My pictures turned out absolutely beautiful. . .the best I've ever had taken of my kids. I would highly recommend Brandi to everyone I know.

Brandi was so easy to work with and had great ideas! She also won my one-year-old son over. I recommend her highly!! She's wonderful!!

Rated Five Stars by a Mom in North Richland Hills, TX on Jun. 22, 2007

Most businesses have a mission statement that is never met or even get close to. This is not the case with B4 photography. I booked an appointment for my daughters to have their pictures taken at the Dallas Arboretum. We planned the pictures around my kids nap time. She was punctual and very professional yet had a very friendly attitude. My kids took a short nap so they were very cranky. Brandi put them at ease and was able to manage smiles out of my cranky babies. She did a wonderful job on the shoot and then the editing process. I received the CD in a gift bag that was well put together. I put the CD in and basically spent the next few minutes wipping tears from my eyes. The pictures were so personal and you could really tell that she went out of her way to ensure the pictures were of the highest quality. I have found my photographer. I highly recommend B4 photography and Brandi for any photos that are needed in your life!!!

Rated Five Stars by a Mom in Fort Worth, TX on Jun. 22, 2007

She did my maternity pics and my daughters pictures. She is very talented and I cant wait to do more pics with her!!! She definitly lets you take your time and there is not rushing which makes it totally worth it!!! Give B4 Photography a call and you will be totally happy!!!!!!!!

Brandi is AWESOME! She did such a great job with me and my 9 month old daughter. I was so happy with the results of our shoot. She spent several hours with me and my daughter and also took my sisters bridal shots the same day. Her husband and daughters came along for the nice day at the Dallas Arboretum. They are so supportive of her work and her little girls even gave their input on poses :) You are not going to find someone that will do this much work for you for such a great price! She is above and beyond worth it and you can tell that she puts a lot of effort into it to make sure that you are 100% happy!! I will be going back to her and will recommend her to everyone that I know. Give her a shot, you will not regret it.

Brandi was excellent with my dogs. She understood they don't always behave the way you want them to and worked with us. Our photos were wonderful, I feel like she really captured the good side of us. I have gotten so many compliments on the phots she took.

Rated Five Stars by a Mom in Fort Worth, TX on May. 31, 2007

Brandi did a great job with my kids--I have a very drooly 5 month old, it was humid and hot and we were tired from a long day. Nonetheless she made us comfortable and happy and the pictures came out great. I love that she travels, edits the pictures, puts them on a cd and allows you the right to do what you want with them--for a great price. I had been using a studio for my baby son's monthly photos when I saw Brandi's pictures online. I emailed her for her prices which surprised me. I thought that's about how much I usually spend at a studio for a limited number of photos. So I figured I may as well try something different. I don't think I can go back to a studio now. What I got with Brandi was much more. I'd strongly recommend Brandi and definitely check out her photos online!

I felt very comfortable with Brandi. She not only spoke to me but my 9 year old as well. Usually in a setting such as this, the photographer would talk to the adults about what they want and not what the child wants. Brandi spoke directly with my daughter and listened to her needs and preferences. She was professional yet fun. Courteous yet had a sense of humor about things. I would go back to her in a heart beat! She was a lot of fun and took some amazing photos that I know I will have plastered throughout my house. I highly recommend Brandi.

She thinks out of the box with poses and props and the results are fantastic. I have recommended B4 Photography to all of my friends and will continue to do so. Just beautiful!

I adore the pictures Brandi took of my daughter. It was such a humid day and conditions weren't ideal, but Brandi managed to get my 5-month-old daughter to pose like a professional. People always tell me I should submit the pictures to greeting card companies! I recommend her all the time and will continue to do so.

I found B4 photography one day when I was browsing through myspace. As a mother of 3 girls the site was very appealing. I called and spoke to Brandi, she was very polite and honest. We met at the botanical gardens in Ft Worth for the session. If you are a mother, you know how hard it is to have your children sit still much less smile at the same time. For some reason or another Brandi had my kids sitting still and showing their beautiful smiles. The whole process was very personal with no rush on time. Brandi was prepared with props and alot of poses for the kids. She has a very creative eye for her surroudings. After the shoot, she was available by phone or email to answer any questions that I had about the pictures and their progress. I received the pictures back in a week and it was well worth the week I waited. The photos were edited in color, black and white and even black and white with certain parts of the picture in color. To my suprise the individual pictures of the girls had their name written on them in very crisp, clean text. This has been a wonderful experience and I look forward to Brandi and B4 photography doing my next set of pictures.. Father's day is right around the corner.....

100% satisfied customer,

Brandi is a real natural. She really has a keen eye for the perfect shot. What sets her apart from all the other photographers is that she has a very soothing and calming way with babies.

My daughter was in such a bad mood and it was about to rain but Brandi managed to get some beautiful pictures even though my daughter was so uncooperative. She also communicated great and was very polite and respectful. I absolutly love her work.

Brandi is not only a best friend, but an awesome photographer as well. She is very creative with poses, and she wouldn't give you any less than she would expect. She is amazing at what she does, and it is hard to find someone that puts their heart into it like she does. I would give her 10 stars but they only had 5.
