Creativity has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Whether I was painting, crafting, designing, or dreaming up my next project, I've always found joy in making things by hand. Today, that same passion lives on through Crafted Moments by Bri, where I get to combine my love for photography with thoughtfully handcrafted keepsakes that help people celebrate life's biggest moments.

MY CREATIVE JOURNEY

My passion for art led me to the College for Creative Studies in Detroit, where I earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography. My time at CCS challenged me to think differently, refine my artistic eye, and see photography as more than simply taking pictures it became a way to tell stories, preserve emotion, and create lasting connections.

Those years shaped not only my photography style but also the way I approach every creative project. Whether I'm behind the camera or painting a custom ornament, I strive to create work that's thoughtful, timeless, and meaningful.

INSPIRED BY THE GREATS

One of my greatest artistic influences has always been Ansel Adams.

While he's best known for his breathtaking black-and-white landscapes, what has always inspired me most is his belief that photography is about intention, patience, and creating something that lasts far beyond the moment it was captured.

His work has influenced the way I look at light, composition, and storytelling... I loved his work so much that I even named one of my tuxedo cats, Ansel, after him.



MORE THAN A PHOTOGRAPHER

Photography is only one part of who I am.

I'm a lifelong maker who loves creating with my hands. From custom banners and painted ornaments to personalized keepsakes and home décor, I find just as much joy in crafting something unique as I do capturing memories behind the camera.

No matter what I'm creating, my goal is always the same, to make something personal, meaningful, and made with intention
