Hey there, I’m Breanna
Photographer | Videographer | Visual Storyteller
You can call me Breanna, Bre, or BJ. I’m an award-winning photographer and videographer with a BSc in marine biology, currently based on the world’s largest freshwater island, Mnidoo Mnising/Manitoulin Island.
Working both above and below the waves, in the studio and outdoors, I specialize in capturing stories and working with brands that are rooted in conservation, sustainability, and the profound connection we as humans have with our environment and each other. As a member of a small community, I am also honoured to work with locally-based artisans, small businesses, and organizations, providing visuals that get your products, brand, and story seen and heard.
Interested in working together?
Whether you’re looking to promote a new product, want to capture what it’s like to tour with your company, or have a fresh idea you think I may like, I would love to connect!

Some tidbits about me
When I’m not behind the camera, you can usually find me hiking Manitoulin trails, spending time around the lakes and rivers, or chasing sunsets. Nature is my reset button and a big source of creative inspiration.
I believe in supporting local first. Working with small business owners, makers, and dreamers has been one of the most rewarding parts of my work. I’m always excited to highlight the stories and businesses that matter.
At the heart of everything I do is storytelling. Whether it’s a product shot or a brand video, I want the final visuals to feel alive, to reflect not just what you sell, but why you do it.
Yes, I take my work seriously - but I don’t take myself too seriously. I bring music, laughter, and a good dose of coffee to every shoot so the experience feels fun and easy, not stiff or stressful.
I love the small details that make a photo feel real - textures, lighting, and even the way a product sits in someone’s hands. For me, photography is about slowing down and noticing what makes something worth remembering.
I began my career photographing wildlife, where patience, timing, and a respect for the natural world taught me how to see differently. That same quiet observation now guides how I capture brands, finding the moments and details that make your work feel alive and connect to your audience.
With a degree in marine biology, I have a deep respect for ecosystems and the way everything connects. That perspective influences my work, reminding me that every brand, every person, every story is part of a bigger narrative.
I’m happiest when I’m trying something new. Whether it’s hiking an unfamiliar trail, tasting dishes I’ve never tried before, or taking on a creative challenge, that sense of adventure comes with me into every project.
