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!

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!

Brooke was absolutely amazing! I would hire her again in a heartbeat! She worked with me long distance, my time frame, and being fashionably late to my own wedding! (Like every good bride is!) She took beautiful natural photos. She made us feel comfortable and happy to be with her taking pictures. The lighting and editing she chooses was perfect. Every shot was breathtaking, and my family that couldn’t be there felt they could be apart of the experience with brooks photos. I can’t thank you enough, Brooke, you do fantastic work, and we loved having you as our photographer and capturing every moment at our wedding.

Brooke was punctual, professional, creative, fair/flexible (we had a very short event), and was responsive. She did a nice job on our elopement photos. Thanks so much, Brooke!

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.
