About Brooke

My passion for photography took root early, starting with a family vacation in Florida at just 7 years old. I was so determined to preserve every moment that when I dropped a disposable camera into an alligator-filled swamp, I begged my dad to brave the waters to retrieve it!

Fast forward a few years, between cheerleading routines and nannying gigs, my love for photography blossomed into something much bigger. At just 16, I had the privilege of photographing my first engagement session for my sister and now brother-in-law! The experience was nothing short of magical; witnessing their love through my lens ignited a spark that made me realize photography was more than a hobby - it was my calling.

Since then, I’ve had the honor of documenting countless love stories, each one unique and special. With every proposal, every newborn cry, every tear of joy, I’ve fallen deeper in love with love itself. My approach is simple: capture life as it unfolds, in all its beauty and chaos. Whether it's the first glance of your fiancé, the tender moments with your newborn, or the cherished years with your lifelong partner, I’m here to capture it all.

So go ahead and live your beautiful life with those who mean the most to you. I’ll be there, camera in hand, ready to preserve those snuggles, kisses, tears, tantrums, and every priceless moment in between.

What I love Most:

Since the beginning of BTP in 2009, I've been on an extraordinary journey that has taken me from passionate beginnings to earning degrees in Studio Art and Art History. These studies were more than just academic pursuits; they were the keys to unlocking a deeper understanding of the stories that art can tell. Every brushstroke and every frame has shaped me into the artist I am today - dedicated to preserving the connections and moments that matter most to you.

But the most beautiful chapters of my life have unfolded beyond education. After my college graduation, I married my high school sweetheart, Mike, on a day that was nothing short of magical! Surrounded by the love and joy of our family and friends, it was a celebration of our journey together.

Our days are now filled with the laughter and love of our beautiful son, Cash, who brings a new level of joy to our lives. Watching him grow and explore the world is one of the greatest gifts we’ve ever known, and it’s these precious moments that inspire me to create art that tells a story—your story, in all its richness and depth.

When I’m not deep in the creative process, capturing your legacy or perfecting every detail of your experience with me, you’ll find me immersed in designing your heirloom albums! There’s something truly magical about crafting these timeless treasures - each album is a heartfelt work of art, designed to be cherished for generations! It’s a beautiful process of weaving together your most precious moments into a stunning narrative that stands the test of time.

Outside of this creative world, my family is my everything! When we’re not out discovering new playgrounds with our son, Cash, or wandering the aisles of Target with an iced coffee in hand, you’ll find us at home reconnecting over a bowl of pasta, making memories and soaking in the simple, beautiful moments that make life so special.
