I believe everyone has a story they were meant to share.

In helping my Enneagram 7 self determine where I should focus my creativity and passions, I followed advice I heard from a workshop while at work a few years ago. The presenter said, "Think about when you were young: 5, 9, 12 etcetera... What did you LOVE to do? Who did you imagine being when you grew up? [Long Pause...] Now, that is likely what you should be doing today."

This made me smile and laugh (and get a tinge of anxiety) because as a child, I loved a lot of things. I loved pretending I was a dancer around the world (spinning my globe and letting my finger land on the next place I should go learn about). I also loved pretending to work at a computer desk (quite literally I would pretend to have people call me and ask where the best place for x was). AND I always loved photography. Capturing photos at family events, and later spending hours scrapbooking to show the story just right brought me so much joy and satisfaction. All these activities, these passions brought me immense joy.

So this past year Brianna Mae Photography expanded to just be Brianna Mae. This little space is meant to serve others in all these areas my heart is called to.

At the root of it, I believe we all have so much to share with the world and I hope the stories, images and life adventures on my site can help guide you in sharing and creating your story as well. If I can ever be of help, please shoot me a message - it would be an honor to meet you and help you create your next story as well! 

I stand for:

Protecting our earth and each other, self discovery (Enneagram anyone?!), authentic conversations, embracing life's adventures... and a whole lot of cookie dough!

I'm NOT ABOUT:

Allowing others to feel stuck (if you can dream it, you can make it happen!).

YOU CAN FIND ME:

Hanging out with my family and friends, researching our next trip, and trying new restaurants around town!

A strong cup of Nespresso coffee, daydreaming about my next adventure!

I am a wife, mom, photographer, avid cookie-dough lover, and a dreamer 24/7. I am based out of friendly Minnesota, married to my best friend, Joey. We have an on-the-move toddler and the sweetest rescue pup, Beans (think coffee beans)!
