brielle mcclain bio picture

welcome.

When I was ten years old, I liked to run around my Los Angeles neighborhood with a disposable camera on a wildlife photography expedition (i.e. taking pictures of cats). While I've strayed away from cat photography and disposable cameras, that adventure and excitement has never left. I'm ecstatic to say that my camera and I still go on expeditions of our own -- sometimes in my own backyard and sometimes far away.


Born and raised primarily in Los Angeles with a wonderful stint in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. I am currently pursuing a BFA in photography at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA. Available for work in Southern California, Oregon and abroad.

It was simply magical to explore this family’s love and joy as they naturally interacted with each other. This...

{family} cleland sisters

I love love love me some sisterly love. As one of five siblings, I can’t help but gush over sibling relationships — the laughter, the teasing, the connections. I had a great time photographing the Cleland sisters on their own, as well as with their parents (more of those later).

You may remember the Lee’s from a post earlier this year. You may also remember that little Parker was running a fever and I had promised a part II in the future! Well, here it finally is. Complete with a healthy Parker this time.
