I have 10 years experience as a business owner and over 17 years of photography experience. I became an accredited professional photographer in 2015. In 2019 I entered my first photography awards in the Epson Professional Photography Awards with great results. I’ve completed multiple newborn safety course’s with the best in the industry and am always striving to create the best experience possible to my clients as well as pushing myself to exceed my potential as a photographer. Capturing your core memories and preserving them into artwork to enjoy now and your lifetime is my passion.

Testimonials

Brooke did our maternity and newborn photoshoots. It was the first time my husband and I had ever done a photoshoot and we were both feeling nervous about it. Once I was there with Brooke I felt instantly comfortable, because of how genuine, caring and nice she is. My hair, makeup and outfits were all taken care of by Brooke which helped make the experience stress free. I mentioned how the colour yellow was going to be the theme of our baby girls first photo to the world and Brooke so thoughtfully went out of her way to get the most beautiful yellow outfit for our daughter to wear in her newborn photoshoot. I felt as though our expectations were exceeded and our experience was very personal for us. I am so glad we decided to capture these moments in time with Brooke. The whole experience was very professional, stress free and done to the highest standard. Brooke was incredible to work with and if in future we ever wanted to do a photoshoot I wouldn't hesitate to contact Brooke or recommend her to others. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I Could not recommend a photographer more. Brooke was able to capture memories of my children so beautiful they made me cry. I never imagined she would be able to get my 3 year old to cooperate enough to capture an image of my kids together, but of course, she worked her magic. She captured my children’s true personalities and her products were stunning. I can’t wait to look at them for years to come. Brooke even made me feel comfortable enough in my own skin to step in front of the camera, which is something I never thought I would do. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Our experience with Brooke has been amazing. She was able to fit us in on short notice after our last photographer cancelled on us last minute. She was very professional but also made us feel very comfortable during the shoot. She was great at getting our little girls attention and was able to pick the perfect poses to capture our family. The memories we received are priceless and so special. It really does make a huge difference being able to hold them in your hands rather than just seeing them on your phone. These pictures were so special to us as these are the last photos of us as a family of three before we welcome our second baby. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
