Ready to Shake Things Up?
Are you a new photographer or a seasoned professional looking to shift from weddings and portraits to the incredible world of branding photography? Do you have a camera sitting around that you swore you told yourself you'd learn to use?
Well then, you've landed in the perfect spot! At Owl's Iris Photography, I am so excited to offer mentorships that are not just educational but also a blast!
Hey Hey Hey!
If you don't know me, welcome! I am Barbee, a New England based photographer who loves nothing more than to EMPOWER female-owned businesses in and around my community through the art of photography
I used to focus all my energy on booking wedding clients.
|| And I LOVE Wedding Photography. I still take on a handful of couples each year because I just love the abundance of love! ||
But after a few years of being in what I like to call the "wedding grind", I was feeling a bit burnt-out. Burnt-out of the hustle and bustle that is the wedding industry. I was tired of having to compete for clients with other photographers, getting undercut by cheap photographers (this does no one any good and brings the entire industry down), and I was honestly bummed to continuously miss out on friends' weddings, family gatherings, and hanging out with my people on weekends I was constantly on the road and needed a full day or two to recover from a wedding day's marathon madness!
For me, stepping into Branding Photography was a natural shift of gears
I had started to offer Branding Mini Sessions in the slower season to meet new faces and generate some income. I had gone to another photographer's branding minis and just loved it! And I thought... "Hey, I could definitley do this!"
So I did.
I organized my first of many Branding Minis and met so many cool people. One of my favorite things about my bookings, was that it was almost exclusively booked by women entrepreneurs. It allowed me to connect with other small business owners in the area, to provide them with some fast and affordable images, and make so many friends along the way.
But what I didn't expect was to fall in LOVE with it so much!
It is quite literally my jam. To be able to give back to community in this way is truly a gift and I am so grateful. I feel that part of my job as a photographer is to help inspire and empower my clients; to see the incredible sides of them that sometimes we can't see ourselves.

Why Choose Me?
Because I get it. I’ve been there—navigating the ups and downs of building a photography business, learning to pivot, and figuring out what truly lights me up. I always joke that I've learned everything the hard way- but going through it all. And in this way I have learned so much, delved deep in to licensing and copyright law, and have spent hours crafting the perfect contracts and client experiences. But my favorite thing about photography is seeing people—their talents, their beauty, their stories—and helping them shine. Photography truly is a gift- one that allows us to slow down time, be truly present with a moment, and capture it's beautiful radiant essence. If that’s what you’re after, we’re going to be a great fit.
