Hi.
My name is Brooke and I'm your creative eye here at 3FP.
I'm a mama to a newly turned 18 year old, a 15 year old daughter who is my mini-bestie, and the sweetest 13 year old that there ever was.
I grew up in a small town in Eastern, Iowa. Surrounded by corn fields, the friendliest neighbors, and the freedom to play flash light tag until the lightening bugs appeared. I never wanted to be a doctor or a teacher. And it wasn't until my 30's, when I came to terms that being happy and fulfilled, meant doing something that I was truly passionate about AND not what everyone else wanted for me. I'm a lover of beautiful spaces, the occasional cuss word, and a solid playlist.
As you can see, my editing style is broad. Meaning, I don't have a style I typically edit in. I've never been one to follow a trend and that flows directly into my work. As I get to know my clients and understand how they envision their gallery, it allows me to make a recommendation on what type of style would suite their session best. Ya know what you want, that's great too! But like I always say, don't rule anything out.
When I'm not working in my own business, you can find me at Fairfax Inova Hospital as one of their newborn photographers. Getting to be a part of a families best day and sometimes a families worst day, it is a true privilege.
