    BRAND PHOTODESIGN is really just a fancy name for Dan and Brooke Brand. We started way back in 2004 shortly after we were married and have loved every minute since.

    Photography is our passion. Working with happy, positive people is a joy... to be given the opportunity to capture the milestones of your life is an honor. Weddings, portraits, seniors, children, expecting moms, corporate shots... we love them all! It would be our pleasure to capture the special moments at your next event or during your next photo session.

a classic party rental open house

I was given the opportunity to photograph the A Classic Party Rental Open House a week ago. If you are getting married, considering getting married, have ever heard of anyone getting married, you should really go to the next one in April! The decor is beautiful, the food is amazing, and you’ll be surrounded by some of the best vendors in our area. This month’s featured designs by Detail + Design, catering by Thomas Caterers of Distinction, wine tasting by International Wine Market, lighting by BMG Event Productions, music by Jim Cerone, Wedding Entertainment Director, and video by Roger Muller.

preston is 18 months

Preston is stylin! This kiddo has changed so much since we started photographing him a year ago. He’s a big guy now and can run like the wind. A few things haven’t changed though, he’s still so animated and fun to be around! Justin and Katie, thanks for bringing him in again! Enjoy the sneak peek…

Katie - Ha! That last picture is hilarious. Dan, these are great as always. I swear he poses for you!!! Thank you for capturing our little guy again! Can’t wait to see the rest.

preston and carson

I knew Preston and Carson’s mom, Laine, back at Purdue and haven’t seen her since I left. It was great to catch up with her and meet her 3 year old Preston and 3 week old Carson! They are both so cute and so well behaved. They made my life very easy! Preston really seems to like being around the new little guy and Carson seems to really like to sleep. Lucky Laine! Congrats on your beautiful family! Here’s a sneak peek from the session…

Jill Harms - Laine….these are precious!!! Especially love the one with Preston kissing Carson!

gracyn and ellisyn are 8 weeks old

What’s better than one cute little girl? Two! Twins, Gracyn and Ellisyn, are adorable. They were 6 weeks early so even though they are 8 weeks old now, they are still tiny. They weren’t too interested in sleeping which gave me some great time to hold them. It almost made me want to have a third kid. Don’t get any ideas though Brooke. For now I’m happy borrowing our client’s kids! Cassie, thanks so much for bringing Gracyn and Ellisyn in! Here is a sneak peek from the session…

Sara Gambs - Exquisite job as usual, Dan and Brooke! Beautiful! We’re so glad that Gracyn and Ellisyn are here safe and sound. Wonderful photos!

Will is getting big! 6 months will change a little man. He’s still as cute as ever though and a sweet little guy. It’s so fun to see the changes from session to session! Can’t wait to see what he looks like next time! Here’s a sneak peek from the session…
