Portraits
Hi there! I'm Brooke, and I'm incredibly proud to run an Indigenous-owned and Woman-owned business. Photography has always been more than just a job for me; it's a way to connect with people and tell their unique stories through my lens. I believe in celebrating diversity and capturing the genuine essence of every individual I work with.
Celebrating diversity and embracing the beauty in everyone I photograph.
My photography is rooted in culture, identity, and community.
Powwows are what called me back to my camera. Standing in the arena, dancing, watching other dancers tell their stories through every step reminded me that storytelling doesn’t always use words. Each song carries memory. Each movement holds meaning. I couldn’t let that go unnoticed.
I picked up my camera again because I wanted to help my people tell their stories, to preserve moments that feel sacred, powerful, and real. Photography became another way of honoring where I come from.
I am a proud Tuscarora and Puerto Rican woman. Both cultures have shaped me, grounded me, and taught me the importance of family, resilience, and pride in where you come from. Being raised between cultures showed me that every story deserves to be seen, and every culture deserves to be captured with care and respect.
Diving headfirst into my community shaped not only my work, but my life. It led me home in more ways than one, and it’s where I met my husband. My work is guided by connection, authenticity, and the belief that preserving culture, ours and others’ is a responsibility, not just an art.
My relationship with photography started long before I understood it as art. When I was around twelve, my dad bought my mom a camera for Christmas. I was immediately obsessed. I wanted one of my own so badly it almost hurt. My mom loved capturing moments, even if they weren’t always perfectly clear, she cared more about holding onto memories than technical perfection. Eventually, she set the camera down, and when I was about fifteen, I picked it up and ran with it.
I started photographing everything. People, places, tiny moments that felt important to me. It became instinctive, something I was naturally drawn to without fully understanding why. The camera felt like an extension of how I saw the world.
As I got older, life pulled me in different directions. I put the camera down while trying to figure out who I was supposed to be, what career path made sense, and what my future would hold. I didn’t realize then that the very thing I was searching for was already in my hands. Photography had always been my language, I just wasn’t ready to listen yet.
Coming back to the camera felt like coming home. Behind the lens, I found clarity, safety, and a way to express myself without forcing answers. Today, my work reflects the deepest parts of who I am, rooted in emotion, connection, and lived experience. I don’t just take photos; I preserve moments with intention and gratitude, endlessly thankful for the path that led me back to the thing that was always meant to be mine.
