"When women support each other, incredible things happen"
— Cher
Photographer
Brittney Corey
Can you think of three photos of yourself that you absolutely LOVE? What do they have in common?
For me, those photos are candid moments where I am showing genuine emotions. They tell a story… either about my personality or what my life was like at a given time. They are capturing a special moment. They show me being REAL.
These three principles – Beautiful Moments, Powerful Stories, and Real People – are what I aim to document with my photography.
There is a story to tell for every moment in your life, whether that is a big event like a wedding or the birth of your child, or just a single day where you want to express through photos what it feels like to be a confident, powerful, beautiful woman. I would love to capture those stories for you.
I got into photography as a kid. I was referred to as “the girl behind the camera” since I was 13. But it wasn’t until I was out of college, got married, had a couple of kids, that I realized that I had been neglecting “Me” and I decided to start focusing on doing something that I love - Photography. I got back behind the lens and opened my business in 2017 and I could not be happier about that decision!
Over the years I photographed pretty much everything before I honed in on what I really love and want to do, like, ALL. THE. TIME— Photograph people loving themselves and doing the things that light them up - like photography does for me!
We are all beautiful and powerful, but, when it comes to photography, I’ve noticed that we often neglect being “real” and opt instead for being behind the camera, or using a variety of lighting, angles, and filters to get a selfie that we think is decent. We seem to be quick to judge ourselves in photos and find all the faults to point out. Why do we do this to ourselves?
My goal as a photographer is to make you feel BEAUTIFUL and POWERFUL, while still capturing the REAL you! I want to show you how amazing your genuine smile and emotions are. And that you are a frickin’ badass!
