Remi and Jax are beyond ecstatic that their dog dad is on his second week as a full-time photographer. Now he has more time for morning trail runs, snuggles, and treats.

I’m super proud of Shawn for believing in himself! Missoula friends, if you need headshots, branding photos, wedding or family photos, Shawn is your guy!

Now that the dogs are sleeping from their park adventure with dad today, I guess that means I have to go write!!

It’s 1000 degrees outside, which means I’m inside hiding until it’s appropriate. So let’s pretend it’s an appropriate temperature and my sweet family and I are out playing in the sprinklers 😜.

Thanks for capturing these memories .gremaux!

Vibrant, spunky, loved. That’s who I remember in this photo. A version of me that was derailed two years later when my parents died and our family’s life was altered.

I’m not sure I have or will ever get back to who that little girl would have been. What I do know is there were people along my path who stopped to help me. From small gifts, special attention, helping me write my college applications, making sure I landed that first job out of college, or spending hours talking to me on fb messenger about life; these helpers were essential to making sure I didn’t self destruct inside my lonely world.

All this to say, if you were one of those people, thank you (will never be enough).

Tomorrow I’ll run the (Half lol). I joined the Run4Kids Team for 1, to ensure I finished what I started. For 2, because programs like theirs are essential to helping foster youth (like I once was), thrive in a world where they start without the same love and support that many get.

Using these stunning photos by as an opportunity to give a life update. If you are on the East Coast, I highly recommend 💙

I realized I haven’t updated you in quite a while. Shawn and I are now living full-time in Missoula, Montana. We are pretty obsessed with the small town, open spaces, and plethora of off-leash dog trails.

Shawn is working full-time at Rocky Mountain School of Photography and absolutely loves it. He is also a wedding and portrait photographer.

I have a full-time remote job, and I am going to graduate school at to earn my MFA in Creative Non-Fiction.

Turns out writing about your life, aka your trauma, is hard. Who would have thought? 2022 to now was mostly a blur as I processed/avoided a lot of things I have kept deep, deep, deep in a hole hidden behind a trap door. Creative Non-Fiction is not for the faint of heart, y’all.

We have two cats who love going on walks with us, and of course, Remi and Jax are still in the band. I think that’s it for now? Also, I’m a Jeep girl.

I’d love to know what you are up to lately and where you are in life!

Chasing The Wild Gose

Hi there, I’m Brie of “Shawn and Brie Set Free”. I am one part of a millennial couple traveling around the United States in our converted Sprinter Van. September 29th 2016 was a day that I will forever hold in my memory as it was the day I realized I wanted more to life and exactly how to get there. From that day forward we worked toward our Van Life dream and now in 2018 we were able to hit the road full-time.

I am here to give you stories from the road, travel trips, and mostly I want to provide inspiration for anyone else considering striking out on their own and going straight for their dream life.
