Brooke is not only a fantastic photographer, but she's also a great person! She managed my wild two kids better than anyone ever has and the whole family had a fun time doing the photos. She gives super helpful directions and will even fix a wild hair if needed. She has an amazing eye for photography and is able to capture sweet moments I'll cherish forever. read more

Excellent communication and expertise! I'm thrilled with the photos Brooke was able to capture of our twin seniors. She made them feel comfortable in the outdoor setting and was able to get some beautiful photos of my children. Much gratitude, Brooke! Debbie and Family read more

We used Brooke for our maternity shoot - she is absolutely fantastic! First of all the pictures are stunning, she was so easy to get comfortable with and there was no awkwardness at all. She was also very flexible when my husband got very sick with a cold on the day of a scheduled shoot and she said was open to moving from an outdoor shoot to a studio one. The pictures we eagerly awaited got to us quickly and I just love them!! Also Brooke is under priced for her talent (in my opinion), and it was such a win finding someone talented who wouldn't break the bank. Would HIGHLY recommend! read more

Brooke was a delight to work with. Not only did she travel all the way to Sonoma County to work with us, she was incredibly quick with her turn around time. She was even sweet enough to send us a couple photos as a preview within a few days of our session. My fiancé and I are both camera shy, and she immediately made us feel completely at ease. It ended up being such a fun afternoon, and the photos far surpassed our expectations. I can't wait to book her again for family photos down the line! read more

We had the pleasure of working with Brooke for our newborn lifestyle shoot. We reached out to her online and she sent us a prompt reply back. She was very easy to communicate with via text messages. I sent her my vision board on Pinterest, and she noted that she would try her best to get similar shots. She exceeded our expectations with the photos! Brooke made us feel super comfortable during the shoot, and she even adjusted to some last minute requests. We were a bit nervous about our baby during the shoot, but Brooke was very patient with us. We were so glad we chose Brooke to be our photographer for our newborn shoot! She got the photos back to us very quickly. They are beyond beautiful! We will cherish these photos for a lifetime! We hope to work with her again in the near future! read more

We had such a fabulous senior portrait experience with Brooke! Her artful eye really captured Jenna and Patrick in a special time of life. . Booking , payment and scheduling were very easy.

Brooke was AMAZING. She made this experience so easy from start to finish. She had wonderful ideas and the pictures are GORGEOUS . THANKS!

I was looking for a photographer to take my daughter's senior pictures. We were pressed for time and as I started searching Yelp reviews I came upon Brooke. I saw she was actually offering sessions that weekend and reached out on her website. She responded right away and we began texting back and forth. I told her what kind of scenery my daughter wanted and she had a few suggestions. We met at the designated location and the timing was perfect for a sunset session. Brooke was super easy to communicate with. She has a fun energy and my daughter felt very comfortable with her. My daughter needs some direction for posing in pictures so that it looks natural. Brooke was able to describe and demonstrate for her. She also brought a changing tent since my daughter had 3 outfits for her session. Our photos were ready in about a week and came out beautiful! read more

Brooke was absolutely amazing! She was very accommodating working with our limited availability. The day of our photo shoot, it was unexpectedly raining. She offered to let us reschedule, but it was really the only day that worked for us so instead Brooke got really creative and worked with the rain. It was a little outside her comfort zone, but I couldn't be more impressed with how they turned out. During the shoot, she was really good at getting our one year old to look at the camera and smile. We ended up with so many amazing pictures of him. Our final gallery was much bigger than I expected and I loved the results. We will absolutely being using her in the future! read more

Brooke is the most brilliant and talented photographer who gave me amazing photos and head shots! I tend to feel awkward and stiff in front of the camera but Brooke was the best. When she was taking pictures she completely set me at ease, and gave me great pointers on how to sit, what to do, etc. (and made me laugh!) I actually had a lot of fun and the results were incredible. Her photos made me look great and also captured my personality and spirit. I've gotten so many compliments on her photos. She also has a background in TV and film, and she knows what she's doing with light, lenses, and composition. She's a professional and an artist. And on top of that she's the loveliest person to work with. I recommend Brooke completely and I'll call her for all my future photo needs. Thank you Brooke!! read more

Brooke was absolutely fantastic! When we reached out to her for to inquire about a maternity photoshoot, not only was she EXTREMELY prompt in responding back to us with our many questions, she took the sincere effort to hear what we wanted as the background for the shoot and then sent us MANY samples of work that she had done in the past that potentially matched with what we wanted. She was so patient with us and never made us feel pressured to quickly come to a decision. We ended up meeting her at the desired spot and time and she completely blew our expectations away. She was so cheerful and friendly and knew how to instantly make us both feel comfortable in front of her camera! She ended up staying way longer with us than what we paid for and got around 60+ more photos than what she originally agreed with us. And they ALL turned out amazing! And better yet, we got ALL photos edited the very NEXT DAY! They were sent to us through a personal gallery link that could be downloaded immediately. We ended up printing several of the photos for our baby shower and we got so many compliments for them! Brooke is professional, talented, prompt and responsible. Most importantly, you can tell she is doing photography out of her pure passion - it's something that makes her happy. That positivity ends up reaching the person standing in front of the camera and the whole experience just feels worthwhile. We highly recommend Brooke for maternity shoots! And she's probably amazing for other kinds shoots as well! read more
