About
Hello! I’m Brooke, I’m a Family Photographer in the PNW, a lover of the outdoors, planning trips, cuddling with my kitties and capturing images of the world around me of course! My husband, Tyler, is my primary assistant and at times second shooter. We love to meet new people and explore new places together, we make a great team! I consider myself a “Family Photographer” and to me that means capturing ALL of your important milestones in life. My sessions are a balanced mix of posing and just having a relaxed good time so we can capture the real moments of love and laughter. If you enjoy my style let's talk more, I'd love to hear what you have in mind and help you make it happen!

Brooke was so great to work with. She coordinated all the details with the location we had our photos taken at, which was a huge relief. She asked what special poses we wanted and worked around our timeline. She even drove in a snowstorm to the ceremony location and didn’t charge travel time!! I absolutely recommend using her for any photos!

Our cat baby turned one so we wanted to capture some pictures of him since we only seem to catch blurs of him. First of all, Brooke was so sweet and professional!!! She knew exactly how to capture October’s attention. It was a great experience but then we got the results and we were blown away!!! We still can’t believe and the quality of the photos. They look incredible. Thank you so much for making this happen Brooke!!

My husband and I hired Brooke to capture our special day, and she defied all expectations. She took the time before the day to know exactly what we were looking for in our photos and the photos speak for themselves. She captured so many intimate moments leading up to the ceremony, throughout the ceremony, and all of the special moments. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out and will recommend her to anyone and everyone.

My fiancé and I planned a very small wedding ceremony, and we needed to quickly pull together the details. Among those details was finding a photographer who could capture the best moments from the day and provide us with great, professional photos to look back on and smile. Brooke delivered that for us! She was professional, flexible and personable, and was very open to recreating photos that I pulled from my Pinterest board :) Brooke was present everywhere during the wedding and took wonderful shots, but was never intrusive. Working with Brooke was easy and stress-free in every way. She’s a gem and her work is excellent!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I try to keep my pricing affordable so everyone has an opportunity to have quality images captured of their most important moments. I often offer discounts for return clients or for new clients following my FB page. I have NO hidden fees, you pay for the session and that's it! All 6hours+ weddings include engagement sessions!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Get to know the details, write up a contract, sign the contract, pay the refundable deposit...then we are all set! Ideally I like to meet in person to discuss details for larger events.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Mentored by professionals through high school and college, some community college courses and many many hours of self motivated learning and practice! I set a personal goal to study and learn a new skill every few months.
