Hi, I'm Brooke!

I'm a Grand Rapids, MI photographer specializing in birth photography and family photojournalism. I like to teach other women how to use their DSLRs to photograph their families, too. I believe in the power of beauty and the beauty of the raw and ordinary.

The jumping and swinging, sink baths and snuggling. Three generations of family and the beauty of these little years. (Link in profile)

Home isn’t a place where things are perfect, isn’t a museum of perfectly curated interior decorations nor a place to expect no messes. Even as a family heavily influenced by Marie Kondo and Allie Casazza, we live with mess because children bring it one way or another. Learning to embrace this and not be embarrassed by it, nor to put off having people over or photographing our day to day life until it is clean enough is part of finding contentment in family life. As a photographer who goes into people’s inner sanctums, it’s vital that I really get this truth because I want so much for you to know that no matter if you have legos across the floor and random crap on your countertops or a kid who won’t wear pants, I have no judgment about this, only affection. And that affection will come across in the images I make of your home and family. I promise. Don’t be scared!
👇🏽
all Family Photojournalism sessions are 20% off if scheduled for a date between now and March 9!

family photojournalism :: the leightons

May 10, 2017 in family photojournalism

Do you remember when your own baby was 6 months old? How magical it was to watch his/her little personality begin to emerge? How widely he/she smiled at you with recognition of the biggest love you've ever experienced? That's pretty much exactly the state Reagan is in right now, and her mom and dad are eating it right up. Of course they are. I would be too.
