you will never be anything less than everything for me...

genuine adoration, deep respect, and a chemistry so intense you instantly know that this love is going to withstand quite literally anything. you don't witness a connection of this magnitude very often, and i feel incredibly honored to have captured this beautiful union of two people that deserve this kind of love.

craig + stacie, cheers to a lifetime of joy!

hi, friends!

i am in the thick of busy season, which means i have loads of editing to get through. please bear with me - i take a lot of pride in my work so every image in your gallery is hand touched by me. this process is time consuming but i do not batch edit my photos and never will.

i am so thankful for every one of you that has been in front of my lens this year - it's been magical! looking forward to seeing more of you soon!

xoxo,
brie

emma - wrhs class of 2026

if i had only one word to describe this beautiful girl, that word would be captivating. emma leaves an impression on you - she has a natural ability to converse and connect with people, which can be rare these days. not only is emma a 6a state soccer champ, she is a professional connoisseur of sonny angels and labubus - and i may be slightly jealous of her collections.

emma, you are so fun! i had the best time capturing your senior soccer pictures - there is no doubt you have an amazing future ahead of you. may your senior year be full of the best memories and experiences!

JaiMarion - SH class of 2026

Jai is such a stud - so well spoken, respectful, kind and did I mention this kid loves to hoop?! He also has big plans after high school and I am confident he is going to be successful no matter where he goes. We had a great time at the SH court and venturing downtown for his first session - I can't wait for session two!

Jai, I hope your senior year is full of the best experiences! Thank you for the honor of capturing your senior year portraits!

ky - wrhs class of 2026

this is what cool and easy going looks like - ky is both of those things and so much more. he loves michael jordan (same, bud!) and cars - like can tell you what car it is without seeing it just by the sound of its engine - say, what?! impressive if you ask me. we ventured downtown and through parts of noto for his first session - he has a great eye for different backgrounds, which made it so easy for me.

ky, it's an honor to capture your senior portraits - you are destined for a very bright future. can't wait to see you soon for session 2!!

and then there was you....

this new mama-to-be is radiant - there is truly nothing more beautiful than the glow of a woman expecting her first child. parenthood is on the horizon for the korbe's, and i have no doubt they are going to be incredible at this new gig.

their baby boy is already loved by so many!

kassie + drew, thank you for the honor of capturing such a joyous and special time in your life - it is a privilege! so excited for baby boy korbe to arrive later this year! 🫶

elisha - topeka high class of 2026

the universe said the class of 2026 is going to bring you all the hoopers because we *know* it's your favorite sport AND then proceeds to send me the coolest point guard from t. high - how lucky am i?! elisha is such a laid-back kid that has this vibe about him that although he is quiet, he would eat you for lunch on the basketball court. uhh, and i love it. he radiates confidence and an energy that is contagious - i think i need to catch a game this year in the dungeon to see what he's about!

elisha, great things are in your future. i hope your senior year is full of great experiences and a lot of wins on the court! can't wait for session ✌️!

connie - class of 2026

this girl is simply gorgeous. her personality is as beautiful as her stunning green eyes - she radiates happiness, positivity, and is just so sweet. we ventured around downtown and noto to capture her first session of her senior portraits, and i had an absolute blast making her vision come to life.

connie, i hope you have the best senior year ever - there is no doubt that amazing things are on the horizon for you! so excited for your second session in the fall!

ontarius - shawnee heights class of 2026

some people are just naturally photogenic and o is definitely that guy. he is quite the basketball player traveling all over the states competing. he has this quiet confidence and swagger that most people do not develop until well into adulthood, if at all - he is humble, kind, and just so easy to be around.

o, it was an absolute pleasure capturing your senior portraits and i have no doubt big things are in your future. i can't wait for your 2nd session this fall!

austin - topeka high class of 2026

i first met austin when he was just a little tyke - his mama and i worked together side-by-side for several years. although we no longer work together, we have always kept in contact and so i've had the opportunity to watch austin grow up into the fine young man he has become. he is an incredible drummer and is part of the topeka high drumline. my favorite thing about austin is that he is the best big brother/protector to his little sister, Brooklynn, and i'd say he takes pretty good care of his mama too. we had the best time venturing around the kansas museum and parts of noto - we definitely had to incorporate the dp wall since it's his favorite soda!

austin, your future is so bright! i hope your senior year is full of the best memories!
