About Me
Hi, I'm BRandy.
I’m a professional photographer with over 11 years of experience. My work has been featured in numerous publications.
I’m known for creating an environment where clients feel genuinely comfortable, even if being in front of the camera usually doesn’t. My sessions are thoughtfully guided yet relaxed, offering just enough direction so you never feel unsure, while still allowing you to feel like yourself. I bring a warm, natural energy to every session. I am outgoing, encouraging, and always your biggest hype person when you need it so you can feel confident, at ease, and fully present. Even the most hesitant clients (especially the husbands) walk away saying they truly enjoyed it.
If you’re unsure what to wear or how everything will come together, you won’t have to navigate it alone. I guide you through every step of the process, including styling, and offer access to my exclusive client closet for the entire family - featuring carefully curated, photo-ready pieces that simplify the process and elevate your overall experience.
For me, it’s not just about how your images look. It’s about how they feel and what they mean to you. Images that feel authentic. Moments that are effortless and real. Photographs you’ll treasure for years to come.
This is where I thrive; capturing the moments you didn’t plan, but will never want to forget.

From wardrobe styling to location guidance, every part of your session is designed to help you feel confident, connected, and fully present.
Genuine Connection
The best photographs happen when you're focused on each other, not the camera. My sessions are designed to feel relaxed, playful, and natural, allowing real emotion, laughter, and connection to shine through. Even families who describe themselves as awkward in front of the camera leave saying they had fun.

One of the biggest reasons families choose B. Ohley Photography is the exclusive client closet. With hundreds of carefully curated dresses, children's outfits, and styling options available, you'll never have to spend weeks searching for the perfect wardrobe. I'll help coordinate every detail so your family looks cohesive and timeless. Skip the shopping, the coordinating, and the overwhelm. My curated client closet takes the guesswork out of what to wear.
Timeless artwork
Years from now, I want you to feel something when you look at your photographs. Through intentional editing, beautiful light, and authentic storytelling, your images become more than pictures, they become heirlooms that preserve the people and moments you never want to forget.

Family Photography for Florida Vacationers
As a St. Petersburg family photographer, I work with both local families and visitors vacationing along Florida's Gulf Coast. Families traveling to St. Pete Beach, Clearwater Beach, Anna Maria Island, and Tampa often schedule photo sessions during their stay to preserve the memories that they're making together. Whether you're visiting for a family vacation, reunion, anniversary, maternity getaway, or senior trip, Florida's beautiful beaches provide the perfect backdrop for stunning portraits.
Some of the most meaningful photographs are created when families step away from everyday life and simply enjoy being together. There are no work schedules, school drop-offs, or endless to-do lists—just time spent making memories with the people that you love most. A photo session while on vacation allows you to be fully present while creating beautiful artwork that will bring you back to this exact season of life every time you see the images hanging on your wall.
Testimonials
I had such a wonderful experience with my maternity photoshoot! From the very beginning, communication was amazing, she was incredibly responsive and made the entire process so easy. Talking with her felt like chatting with a friend; she was approachable, kind, and made me feel completely comfortable.
One of my favorite parts was having access to her client closet. She had so many beautiful options to choose from, and I was able to find something that made me feel confident, comfortable, and beautiful during this special time.
Her warm personality, professionalism, and attention to detail made the experience truly enjoyable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for photographer who not only captures beautiful photos but also makes you feel supported and cared for throughout the entire process!

Brandy was phenomenal to work with. She was very accommodating as well. We had last minute bad weather come in the day that we had planned so we had to push our shoot to the next day. She was so flexible, understanding, and fun to take photos with. I seriously can’t thank her enough for capturing my fiancé and I’s special moment.
⁓ Jesse Hamula
My fiancé and I had an awesome experience with Brandy at our shoot. Not only did she pick the perfect location, she also provided a client closet for us that took away the stress of me having to figure out what to wear and buy. She brought a speaker and played music that we love, which made us relax and have fun. And it's reflected in our photos. Our photos show us laughing and enjoying each other's presence, which was exactly what we wanted. We definitely want her to photograph us again!

Brandy is an exceptional photographer. I wholeheartedly recommend her services.
She’s not just a photographer; she’s truly an artist who infuses her photos with a sense of soul and happiness. Her ability to connect with people, especially children, is really amazing. Even my husband, who HATES taking pictures, couldn’t help but change his mind after seeing the wonderful work she did. The smile on his face in the photo speaks volumes about how much he enjoyed the experience. Brandy captured all the loving moments we’ll cherish for a lifetime.
If you’re looking for a photographer who can bring joy and happiness to your special moments, Brandy is the one to call. Highly recommend!

FAQ
Where are you based and do you travel?
I am based in St. Petersburg, Florida but I travel anywhere in Pasco, Pinellas Counties and Manatee County at no additional cost.

Your will receive an online gallery link with all your photos within a maximum of 3-4 weeks (sometimes less depending on the season I photograph your story).
How many pictures will we receive?
I have three packages to choose from. See my Investment page.
How do I choose a location?
I help you choose a location based on the feel that you want for your photos - beachy, forest, urban. I will find the perfect place for you!

There is a $100 retainer fee due at the time of booking and the remaining balance is due 24 hours before your session.
What is your weather cancellation policy?
If the weather is looking bad, I will call a session about 2 hours before we are scheduled, just in case it clears. I will try to reschedule your session within 14 days of the canceled session.
What should we wear?
I can absolutely help give you advice on styling yourself and/or your family. One of the things that I have found is that people try to completely match. You don't all want to wear the same color. It's not as flattering as it sounds, trust me. We can discuss clothing options more in depth at the time of your booking or slightly after. I can send you some flattering options. I have some items in my client closet that are available at no additional cost. I will send you a color wheel and resources to help you decide. I am more than willing to completely style your family upon request.
What is a client closet and how do I see what's in it?
A client closet are things that I buy for clients to wear if they desire. I am always adding new things so that you have many options to choose from. It saves you money and also gives a certain look to images because I buy clothes that photograph beautifully. They're available to wear with any full session.
I will send you a link to my client closet gallery after you have booked your session.
