Brooke does an amazing job. She has so many creative ideas for different poses. I’ve had her take our family pictures and my daughters graduation pictures. By far her graduation pictures were the best and most unique I’ve ever seen . She is still nice to work with and very reasonable. Hands down Brooke is the best! I will definitely hire her again.

Brooke is great to work with and is a huge advocate for making sure the photos you wants are taken. Her set up for our "first look" during our wedding photos was great and she did a great job to include some props we wanted as well! She also did all of my wedding parties wedding hair, which was amazing!

This photographer is not a professional. She takes hundreds of photos in basic auto settings on her camera and then spends hours and hours editing them on the computer to try to make them look professional. It takes several months to recieve your photos and when you do, the images are over edited and low quality. Her use of jpeg over raw images along with her lack of proper lense use and professional camera settings creates low quality, blurry images.
You are paying high professional photography prices for product that anyone with a camera and photoshop can produce.

Brooke did well on our engagement pictures for the most part, she was good with ideas. When it came to the wedding it was a completely different story. She had no assistant, had no ideas, and seemed to be bored even being there. A week prior to the wedding I tried to give her a list of must have photos which she did not take and expected me to have it on the wedding day. She has no attention to detail, my family photos were not set up, something we could have easily taken ourselves. She seemed annoyed when we wanted pictures inside the church because the lighting was poor and she just sat around while we hung out before the ceremony instead of taking pictures. Getting the pictures back I had to ask her when they would be ready multiple times, I set a day to meet her then last minute she canceled and said I would have to wait to get them. The editing was terrible. Some pictures that I did like were only in black and white and when attempting to contact her about having them In color she said that wasn't possible. She also expected payment in full a month prior to the wedding which we did not do because we wanted a guarantee she would be there.

PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE! I hired Brooke to do a boudoir shoot and so did my friend. She acted nice during the shoot, but after I walked out of her home everything changed. She told me 5-6 days for pickup from a shoot on Saturday. My friend's shoot was Friday a day before mine and Brooke told her it'd be 4 days until pickup. We hadn't heard from her on the following Friday, but I waited until Saturday (a full week) to message her on Facebook. My friend messaged and emailed her. She did not respond at all until Sunday to my friend's email by saying she barely gets weekends off and that weekend was one of them. I didn't hear from her at all, so Monday morning I messaged her again and she told me I could pick up on Tuesday at 6 pm. She cancelled last minute and told me to come Wednesday at 6 instead. My friend and I decided to pick ours up together and let her know. She did not have a problem with this in the beginning. I had set up the initial time for pickup Wednesday and she emailed my friend after 5 pm that day saying she needed another hour re-scheduling a second time. She did not confirm this new time with me at all! Just as I was going to leave I tried to confirm the time and she told me she wasn't done and needed an hour longer last minute once again. Really?! Plus she got angry that my friend and I weren't communicating. Then she goes off on me telling me that privacy between clients is a huge issue to her and she didn't want us to pick them up together. I told her too bad because we're friends and obviously knew we'd each done boudoir shoots. So I told her we'd be there at 7 pm and then she tried telling us not to be late because other clients had stuff to pick up too and she didn't want us running into eachother. She goes on to say that her husband placed them in the mailbox for us to grab. WHAT THE HELL. Is putting our disks in your damn mailbox any sort of privacy? She didn't even invite us in to show off her work. Because it's horrible.

Poor quality of service, no much responsibility, lack of professionalism and no flexibility at all made the value of the vender very disappointing - We hired Brooke to do our pictures few months prior to our day. A week before she called my sister-in-law to say that "fortunately for her" she's gotten very busy and was not going to be the one at our weeding, but instead she was sending a photographer with an assistant, which such never showed up. The substitute photographer showed up on time and was overall friendly. However seemed not to experienced. I had looked over Brooke's profile online which it showed good, and she gave us a comparative price. I tried contacting vender few times after the weeding to know when to expect pictures, but was only able to get responses by texts, no calls back! We received our pictures 9 weeks later in a CD inside of a envelope. No note or request of feedback. Not sure what was the hold of, since no much work seemed done other than different color effects between antique, B&W and original color. I truly do not recommend. Very disappointing.
