HI! I'M BROOK
I'm a candid storytelling photographer, specializing in outdoor photography. I'm here to capture your family in the most real, raw, and authentic way possible.
I am a mother, wife, dreamer, and way over-thinker. I understand motherhood is the roughest hood to be in and also the best. My five girls keep me both inspired and on the brink of insanity. Trust me, I'm more awkward than you; and if you must know...Dr. Pepper is my love language.
Why hire me as your photographer you ask? Because I've been there. I've been a girlfriend, fiancé, bride, and mother of five. I understand how precious these moments are, and how important it is to capture them. I want everyone who gets in front of my camera to feel relaxed, confident, and like they have just made a new friend. I strive to capture all my clients in their candid, natural element. I'd love to tell the story of your family and how it came to be if you'll have me.

MY WHY -
I fell in love with photography because of its incredible power to freeze moments in time, preserving emotions, stories, and memories that transcend words alone. From the gentle curiosity in a child's eyes to the raw, unfiltered beauty of nature, each click of the shutter allows me to capture the essence of life itself. Photography isn't just a profession for me; it's a passion born from a desire to connect deeply with people and the world around us. Through my lens, I aim to weave narratives that evoke joy, nostalgia, and wonder, creating images that speak directly to the heart. Every photo I take is an opportunity to celebrate life's fleeting moments and to share in the beauty of the human experience.
