When you work with Brook, you work with the best! Some of the greatest photo shoots I have ever experienced with my daughter were with Brook! You are made to feel like a member of her family. When working with Brook, you are put at ease and always made to feel confident and comfortable! Her professionalism is top notch but with plenty of smiles and lots of laughs! Brook is the best out there and you will be in awe of what she can create for you! We love Brook!
Being a part of the model team has been such an amazing experience! I’ve always been a very shy person but being on the model team has helped me become a lot more confident and outgoing. I feel like I’ve grown as a person and noticed an increase in my confidence. The photoshoots are always so much fun and constantly filled with laughs! Not only that but I always feel so comfortable and I feel like my opinion matters. Overall, its such a positive and uplifting experience!
Brook is a skilled professional who is very creative. It is obvious that she loves her work. She is a joy to be around. The result is photos that are not only beautiful, they are interesting and charming. She makes certain that they are memories, not just boring mugshots. I highly recommend that you contact her for any professional photography you need.
I had the best time during my photo shoot. I walked away with fabulous pictures appropriate for both business and to send out to family. Brook does a fabulous job and is very skillful with those who don't feel like they are very photogenic.
Being a part of the model team has been one of the best experiences I’ve ever had! Brook makes me feel powerful, confident, loved, and so much more! Not only do the pictures turn out AMAZING but they are one of the most fun, uplifting experiences. I know if I have a photoshoot with Brook and her team, I won’t leave without a laugh.
Working with Brook is time spent with a friend. I love working with her because the atmosphere is welcoming and there is no judgement. Brook has a aura about her that makes it easy to talk to her as well as be in front of a camera. All products are the highest quality and carry great memories.
What does the process look like to get a session scheduled?
Discuss with the photographer what type of session you are looking for, the location you want, and who will be involved.
Agree on pricing and package you want.
Schedule a date and time for the shoot.
Then the fun begins with our portrait session!
What can I expect once the photo session is complete?
We will schedule an ordering/reveal appointment within 2 weeks of your session date. At this appointment, we will view your images on our studio's 50 inch TV and decide which images you like best. Once we have narrowed down your selections, we help walk you through which images will work best for you, your family, and your decorating style. We do this so that you feel supported and confident selecting the right images that will mean the most to you for years to come without feeling overwhelmed or stressed.
How long will my portrait session take?
I wish there was a definitive answer for this question but it really depends on the type of session and how quickly I can get the shots I need. I do attempt to get the session done efficiently so that you can get back to whatever you would rather be doing. ;) I want you to have so much fun, you aren't worried about the clock.
Do you have any tips for taking better portraits?
Individual Photos:
1. Relax, this should be fun!
2. Wear something flattering with some color and bring a few easy changes of clothing.
3. Accessorize.
4. Wear makeup to your liking for a date night.
5. Don’t look directly at the lens of the camera, look at the top of it or just to the side (avoids red eye especially if you have blue or green eyes).
6. Never face shoulders straight on with the camera (this looks awkward and not flattering to anyone).
7. Make small movements in all directions with the head and body - you never know which angle will look the best and catch the best light.
Group Tips:
1. Keep your eyes on the photographer unless instructed otherwise, try not to be distracted - the faster we can get everyone looking together, the quicker the photo session will be and it will result in better quality photos (turning heads can create blur).
2. Try to wear matching or coordinating colors for photos to be more cohesive.
3. Parents look at the photographer no matter what your child does unless asked by the photographer because inevitably by the time the child looks at the photographer, the parents are looking at the child.
