Brittany (Wolfe) Baldwin

Hi there!! I’m Brittany aka mommy, I prefer to meet people in person but here’s my story put into a few paragraphs to give you an idea of me. I’ve always loved photography and knew at a young age I wanted to be a mom. I wanted a career that would allow me to put being momma first yet still have my independence as the strong woman I am. Owning a business is the best way to have control over your schedule and I knew a photography studio was my dream! I also knew college wasn’t something I had interest in. On top of my love for photography, I’ve always had a strong passion for people, all people. At 13 I received my first camera, I constantly posed my little brother and sister for pics. I started working with a local photographer at 15. That fueled my passion for photos and people even more! I allowed my love for the camera to take me on many different adventures and I found I loved being in front of the camera too! I entered a pageant and was crowned Miss Teen Indianapolis in 2003… I was awarded enough money to purchase my first professional camera. I worked as an assistant a few more years then joined the Indianapolis Colts Cheer squad, was exposed to tons of camera time being on the squad, and I LOVED it! BUT ya don’t get rich being a cheerleader ;) soooo I worked part time at a bank and opened my first studio in my aunts Salon basement. The bank job paid the bills, money earned from my studio went towards building my business, and being a cheerleader gained me tons of knowledge, friends, and experiences. A couple years later I moved out of state, on to the next adventure. I worked as a Hooters waitress to yet again, pay the bills and I studied with some incredible photographers from Nashville, TN. Shot weddings, calendar, and magazine shoots all over the world from Italy to Aspen! If you watch closely, you’ll even see me a few times in the Denzel Washington movie, Unstoppable. One moment I was on the beach holding reflectors, carrying gear, taking BTS, styling models, riding around on yachts, and the next day I was back to slinging chicken wings and washing dishes. So it wasn’t all glamorous to say the least LOL Yet a chapter filled with tons of memories and people I’ll never forget! I did quite a bit of modeling during that time too. I thrived off the feeling I received being in front of the camera…especially after having my hair and makeup professionally done, so fun and fulfilling! After 4 years spent in Nashville I decided to move back home to my small town. Being close to family has always been important to me, so it was a comfortable yet scary move. When I got back home I promised myself…no more waitress jobs, I had to give my dream the best shot I could. I started shooting and things took off, I’ve been doing photography full time ever since! I shot every kind of shoot you can imagine and met so many amazing people along the way. I later fell in love with a guy right up the road and then a few years later we got married and…I became a mom.

Skip forward to today and I have the studio that I once dreamed of! The experiences that led me to this point helped build my business into a career that fits me just the way I hoped it would. I get to be mom and have a part in making people feel good about being themselves. It’s an incredible combination and I’m so grateful to all my wonderful clients. <3 2022 was the first year my girls got to tag along and assist on a cpl shoots. It was the best thing ever! :)

OK.. so that’s the story of how I got here. This is who I am, if you can use words to describe yourself these would be the ones I would use-Down to Earth, real, kind, empathetic, giving, free spirited, honest, straight forward, old soul, traditional but an open heart and mind, super nice but doesn’t take any shit ;)

Things I LOVE- my baby girls, my husband, the rest of my family, my rottweiler, my clients and friends, the sky, the ocean, change of the seasons, yoga, coffee, fire, psych thriller books, porch sitting, dark humor lol, exploring, country living, nature & animals, good food, honest people, good conversation, hair in a bun, matte black Ray Bans, comfy leggings & hoodies. I used to be an adrenaline junky but that changed once I became mom. I’m much more cautious than I once was ;)

If you’re considering a shoot, I would love to meet and get to know you!

xoxo Brittany
