Lifestyle Photographer in Clear Lake, Mason City & North Iowa

Newborn, Motherhood, Family, Senior & Brand Photography

HELLO,  I'M  BRITTANY

Clear lake mama + photographer


I’m a photographer based in Clear Lake, Iowa, specializing in newborn, motherhood, family, senior, and lifestyle brand photography. I work with families and brands throughout Clear Lake, Mason City, and communities across Northern Iowa to create natural, timeless imagery that tells the story of each season of life. From newborn and motherhood sessions to senior portraits and children’s brand and product photography, my goal is to create natural, lifestyle images that feel relaxed, genuine, and meaningful.

I married my high school sweetheart, and together we have four little ones ages seven and under. I understand the sticky fingers, the bedtime chaos, the belly laughs, and the constant hum of family life.

Becoming a mom changed everything about the way I photograph families. Suddenly every tiny detail mattered. The way newborns curl into your chest. The six-month-old “knuckle dimples” phase. The wobbly toddler steps. The way siblings squeeze in tight for a hug. These moments feel like they will last forever, but they disappear in a blink.

Our days are a mix of chaos, cuddles, and the kind of moments you wish you could bottle up forever, and I am grateful for every second of it.

That is what I want to give you through my work: honest, heartfelt images that hold onto the season you are in before it slips into the next. Time moves fast. Babies grow faster. Every season, even the messy ones, holds something unbelievably special. I would love to help you document it all

TIMELESS, TRUE-TO-COLOR IMAGERY

EFFICIENT WITHOUT FEELING RUSHED

Sessions are thoughtfully guided to keep things moving while still allowing space for connection, variety, and those in-between moments.

What people are saying

We’ve had the absolute best experience working with Brittany for our family photos. She is incredibly talented, but what really sets her apart is her patience—especially with little kids. She somehow manages to capture beautiful, genuine moments even when the chaos level is high. She makes everyone feel comfortable, keeps things relaxed and fun, and never rushes the process. The end result is always a gallery full of photos we truly love and will treasure for years. I can’t recommend her enough.

What people are saying

Brittany is an amazing photographer! We have used her over and over again, starting with my maternity photos and then for newborn and one year old photos for our three kids. Her photos capture all the precious moments perfectly. I just love her style of photos and plan to travel back to her again for more family photos. Not only do we use her for her amazing photos, but she is so patient and easy to work with! She knows her stuff and makes family photos quick and easy!
