shepard-5042.jpgABOUT BROOKE: Hi!  My name is Brooke and this blog was created so I could share my world with you!  This is my journal....a place where I can come and share a bit of who I am and what I love to do!  I am a photographer based out of Houston, Texas but travel all over.  I really love traveling and seeing the world and people interacting in it!  I am a really simple person and find that my photographs speak simplicity. Take a look around and gain a better feel for what I love to do. I hope that in the process of searching through my blog you get a chance to know me better. I would love to hear from you....so say hi and don't be shy!


sarah and bob share a fun story of how they met!  bob and sarah's brother were friends in high school together.  bob came over several times and even joined their family on a ski trip one year when sarah was 11 and bob was 17!  fast forward 23 years... bob and sarah's brother are celebrating their 30th birthday's in las vegas when sarah and bob "re-met" and began a long-distance relationship. now these two are happy in love and getting married! 
so sweet.

tiffany and jason are getting married on april 24, 2010 and i can't wait to shoot their intimate wedding.  these two met off of eharmony.com and could not be more perfect for each other.  when i do my engagement sessions i like to send out a questionnaire that asks fun questions on what draws them to each other and how they met.  this helps me get to know them on a deeper level and helps the shoot progress. one of the top things they shared with me, besides  the tantric sex, (they wanted to make sure i was reading their answers and it is only a JOKE) :) is that they could have fun together in a paper sack.  i think i would have fun with them in that sack too!

when deciding where we should shoot, one of the places that they love to be is in an airport.  they love to travel together and are excited for life's adventures.

here's to 2010!  first blog of the year and i am excited to start again with some amazing couples. 2009 was a wonderful year and i will recap when i am not too overwhelmed.

this couple is one of my amazing 2010 clients and i am really excited about their summer wedding in houston.  engagement sessions are always a fun way for me to get to know the couple and spend some time before their big day.  even though this day was rainy and the dense fog was out, it brought a fun feel. here's to 2010!

bao and tam are quite a pair.  between the two of them their passions are shopping and collecting toys!  i loved this engagement session and the fact that we got to play in bao's hobby.  he had had a long time desire  for collecting toys from the 80's and most of them are transformers.  i loved creating the series for them at the bottom.
