Brooke Brown Photography

At the beginning of October I casually opened a photography business. It all started with a rehearsal dinner I agreed to shoot for my friend Kelly -- a power hour instructor at the Y/my swim stroke coach. Then, another friend asked if I'd take Christmas card pictures for her/her friends (13 families over 5 afternoons). Since the mini-sessions I've received additional referrals for more sessions -- including several regular (60-90 min) family shoots and another rehearsal dinner this Friday night (turns out one of the girls/moms from one of my mini-shoots coordinates all events for Sonoma Restaurant Uptown as well as Founders Hall and referred me to one of her customers).

Its been fun! I'm s-l-o-w-l-y working on a website. Until its up and running, here's a photo from each of my October sessions. No rhyme or reason which photo I picked from each session - just wanted to be sure that I didn't use someone's Christmas card picture so I picked a bunch of single child shots and just a few family shots. :)
