Gentle guidance - timeless memories - mindful movement
Hello! I’m Brittney — the “Brie” in Brie’Denee.
I’m a Kansas City native, mom to four amazing kiddos, photographer, birth doula, and prenatal/postnatal yoga instructor. I specialize in maternity, birth, newborn, and family photography, and I’m passionate about supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum with both hands-on doula care and mindful movement. I’m a storyteller at heart, whether I’m behind the camera, guiding breath and movement, or walking alongside you on your journey into parenthood.
Hi! I’m Carrie — the “Denee” in Brie’Denee.
I’m mom to two beautiful grown girls (one of them being Brittney!) and I specialize in maternity, family, and fairy photography. I love creating magical experiences that celebrate connection, imagination, and the beauty of your story.

"I don’t know where to begin but thank you so much for being there for me, giving me encouraging words and helping me get through tough times. Even though I gave in to the epidural, I think that was a blessing and my body telling me I need to get one because things were not right. I don’t think I would have made it as far as I did without you there. You just knew what to do as soon as you got there and just got started right away, even with my nurses you knew what to ask for to help me which I was grateful."

"Our time with Brittney changed the whole pregnancy and birthing experience. Doctors can be so impersonal and it can be hard to even contact them or to hear back between visits. I loved having someone to text when I needed to talk or wanted advice during my pregnancy journey. I loved her showing us how to prepare for birth and working with my husband, equipping him to be a wonderful birth partner. But even without all of that, hiring Brittney would have been worth it just to have her in labor and delivery."

"I met Brie very quickly at Union Station and was able to see how professional she was. I decided to do our first family photo shoot. We had a very windy day but she made each picture look like everything around us was still and peaceful. I have two small children and she worked very well with both. Highly recommend if you have kids younger than 5 and are difficult to work with, because she made mine smile."

"Brittney was amazing to work with. She was friendly and open to trying poses I had found online. She didn't get frustrated with our little man who needed a lot of extra attention to keep his eyes on her. We had a great session and would love to work with Brittney again."

"Simply put, my biggest fear or worry about participating in childbirth is not being as inceptive or susceptive with particular medical procedures that have changed dramatically since my first child, nearly 20 years ago. So when my spouse suggested utilizing an experienced doula, we put forth serious effort in finding the perfect fit for our needs. That perfect fit for us, Brittney Brownell. For anyone looking for a doula; start with Brittney. Her knowledge will leave you feeling like you have experence."

"Brittney was fantastic! She had a well thought out plan that made great use of the limited time. She was great at capturing the moment when were being playful. AND she even managed to get a few genuine smiles out of our son who was not happy to be there!"

"Photos were exactly what I was looking for and the shoot was fun and engaging (I couldn’t believe how fast 30 minutes went). The posing tips were great and allowed for so many flattering images. 10/10 Will be booking again!"

"She really did a great job working with a four year old who wouldn’t stay still. So happy she was able to capture some great candid photos for us to look back on. Hope we get to work with her again next year!"
