5fives with Brie Childers

Brie ChildersMeet Brie, she’s a superstar photographer, quite literally. I’ve just spent forever looking through her website; soaking in the glamour, the professionalism and the California sunshine – I’m sure you’re going to love her too…

I am a fashion and celebrity photographer based in Los Angeles. I balance work with two beautiful kids and a husband and two dogs and a cat and a TV obsession. Work is my other “baby”. I love being a photographer and almost every assignment excites me. I’ve been blessed to work with celebrities like Kanye West, Christina Aguilera, Curtis Stone, Jeremy Renner and more. My clients include Chan Luu, Olay, Beach Bunny Swimwear, Vibe Magazine and others.

Top 5 books

  1. You Can Heal Your Life, by Louise L Hay
  2. The 4 Agreements
  3. The Prophet (I know, cliche’)
  4. My sister’s unfinished fiction book about a teenage girl
  5. I know there are other favorites in the fiction world, but not in the last 5 years. I can barely get through my magazine subscription pile.

Top 5 photos I’ve ever taken.
Can any photographer answer this with any consistency? Today these are my answers. Ask me again tomorrow and it might have migrated to something completely different.

1. A portrait of a woman in Mexico. I never do “street” photography but her face was so peaceful that I had to ask her if I could snap a photo. I took one. It worked.
2. A portrait of Christina Aguilera in her old house that I can’t show anyone. She’s quite lovely to photograph.
3. A portrait of John Stamos at his house…

Then the rest sort of starts to get jumbled. My family snapshots would be up next on the list. But I will stick to work

4. A picture of Lindsay Price with a hat

5. Kristen Bell looking over her shoulder, for a breast cancer book I’m working on.

    I don’t think I have ever heard of her, but I absolutely do love her answers to these questions. I can’t wait to see more of her work and learn about her : ). Thank you for doing these Angie. I love them so much.
