Our Story Begins

The Brystan Studios Experience

Like you, we believe in the power of photographs to preserve memories and relive an emotional experience, while truly capturing the soul of the moment.

To achieve that, we take a modern approach to the marriage of discipline and artistic expression that provides an unparalleled personal experience.

Since 1987, Brystan Studios has been dedicated to telling a lifetime of stories for all our clients.

Your Session is Like Any of the Great Film Classics

It all starts with a great story — your story.

Your private portrait planning session is where your script comes to life. We get to know each other and collaborate on creative ideas for your photographs. From lighting to wardrobe, makeup and hair, your session is limited only by imagination.

The Excitement Builds As Soon As You Enter Our Lavish Studio

Listen to your favorite music as you sip champagne or Perrier in the hair and makeup chair…

Enjoy true star treatment with access to our exclusive wardrobe room, styling services, state-of-the-art lighting, and our expansive collection of designer sets and props selected just for you.

When the photography starts, your confidence grows as you’re effortlessly directed by a true professional.

But wait until you get a few sneak peeks at the back of the camera…

When you do, you’ll instantly realize the endless possibilities that our collaboration brings.

Your Brystan Studios experience concludes with a big reveal in our presentation theater.

It’s your story, told in unforgettable, timeless portraits that become irreplaceable heirlooms.

A Letter from Lori

I believe in living in the moment, eating the cake, buying the shoes, taking that once-in-a-lifetime trip. I’m a lover of life, the simple moments, the unlimited possibilities in this journey called life.

Now is the best time — the perfect moment.

I am the kind of person who gets a smile from your baby in the store or from passing children.

I absolutely adore them, and the innocence and wonderment they represent. I’m blessed with a beautiful daughter, a loving husband, and amazing friends and family. My husband is a touring musician, so we travel the world, and our house is filled with music and art.

I love the change of the seasons and how I can feel the magic and possibilities swirling in the moment. I love yoga and belly dancing. I treasure my favorite spiritual books that enlighten me on my journey and quench my thirst for growth and knowledge. I believe that the world is good, most people are loving, and world peace is possible.

I look forward to getting to know you and all the things you’re grateful for.

Most importantly, I can’t wait for our team to help celebrate YOU and capture the story of your life.

Lori

Sharing the Magic

We’re blessed to run a successful business, and strive to give back in a real, tangible way, which is why we support Operation Smile.

We relish the power of a smile to communicate love.

So, what better way for us to make a difference than to help children regain smiles of their own?

A portion of every session at Brystan Studios goes toward corrective surgery, offering children the opportunity they’ve never had… the opportunity to smile.
