I'm pretty sure I don't have enough good things to say about McKenzie... Well for one she's my cousin, (and that makes her pretty awesome, right? :) ) and she wanted me to shoot her senior pictures when we were at the lake for our family reunion. I was thrilled! The lake is tucked full with beautiful places to shoot. We scouted locations on Tuesday morning, but we decided to go out to the closest town- still a good 30 minutes away- to search for old buildings and neat places. We went to Ft. Donaldson, and found the gorgeous field and other backdrops. On our way back, we took a wrong turn, got pretty lost, but found the most gorgeous scene- wildflowers and trees and wild nature area. We were finally ready to head back as the sun was sinking, and right before we were home we stopped at a spot we had picked out earlier that day, wooden steps built into a hillside covered with purple wildflowers. It was perfect. And that was just day 1.

So we were thrilled with our shooting and our location finds, but McKenzie had more outfits to go through, and I had more places I wanted to shoot! So the best part about vacation is staying 30 feet from one another and shooting again the next night!

McKenzie was amazing at every pose I gave her! She could totally be a model. I had SO much fun shooting these and editing them too! Thank you so much for letting me shoot your senior pictures, McKenzie! Have a great senior year. :)

Natasha was referred to me through our mutual friend, and we emailed back and forth to plan her family shoot! She and her husband Matt invited me to her family's gorgeous farm. Plush fields, rustic barns, a creek, the whole nine yards of country chic. I had a great time working with this sweet family! Their sweet son Tristan was decked out his country vintage outfit. So adorable! The outfits and locations were perfect. The best part was the last ten minutes of the shoot. Tristan decided he was pretty happy with this whole deal and just laughed and smiled! We had a great time! Here's the gorgeousness!

Thank you so much, Natasha and Matt, for having me shoot your family pictures!

Once upon a time, a Godly maiden with gorgeous green eyes and a beautiful heart and soul fell for all the wrong guys. Until one day she met a handsome lad who was caring, passionate, and a devout follower of Christ. Oh yeah, and he played guitar.  The two fell in love, and their love drove them both closer to God and to each other. One blissful (and cold) February day the lad got down on one knee, pulled out the bling, and asked the maiden to be his lovely wife. And the rest is history.

And now you're caught up. Seriously, Devin and Daniel are like a fairy tale with their happily every after coming soon. They're completely perfect for each other. I cannot wait for their January wedding. It'll be so filled with love.

And now onto their gorgeousness. I had so much fun shooting Devin and Daniel. They're so much fun to be around and so easy going. Such a great shoot!

Thanks so much, Devin and Daniel, for having me shoot your engagement pictures. You two are the best, and I can't wait to shoot your wedding!

Hellllloooo, my summer loving friends! The pool, the golden sessions, the smell of sunscreen... all of my favorite things ever are in full swing, and I'm soaking it up.

I've been making some business decisions and trying to come up with more ways to grow and reach more clients. I think I've come up with something that's going to benefit you and your wallet as well as me and my time! In the past, I've offered mini sessions just for themed sessions for one to two days. NOW what I want to offer is MINI SESSIONS available to you at any time!

What a mini sessions will include:
-a 20 minute session
-1 outfit
-15 digital files sent to you
-the perfect sampling of BOP (hey, that stands for Briana Owen Photography)

All for the price of $75! We're talking quick shooting- perfect for the littles that get tired quickly (ok, let's be real. We're really talking about the dads here.) This is great if you're a new client to BOP! You're able to try it out and find out how much you love your images before you book a full session! (Trust me, you'll want to book a whole session next time.)

Now don't forget that full sessions offer more time, more outfits, and most importantly more images! Full sessions give you the full experience- the whole shabang of awesomeness. But I know that summer is spent going on vacation or buying that new pool, so these mini sessions will be PERFECT for the budget savvy. I'm so excited to get to meet and work with new (and returning) clients! Can't wait to hear from you! Email me at [email protected]

Thanks and Happy Summer!
