A local landscape photographer and registered nurse, Brooke’s photography bug was sparked after a trip to Patagonia in 2017. Self-taught, she has educated herself on camera and post-processing techniques ever since. Her photography prioritizes depth and dimension in an effort to convey the feeling of being immersed in the landscape. Photography inspires her creative brain and fosters her love for adventuring. Bozeman’s proximity and access to the outdoors drives her desire to explore and capture the feeling the landscape gives her with her camera.  

Originally from Rochester, New York, Brooke moved to Bozeman in 2016 after zig-zagging around the country. Her creative roots were planted and nurtured by a mom who taught art, and a dad whose career with Kodak led him to a passion for travel photography. After high school, she received a BFA in Graphic Design at F.I.T. NYC, where she was exposed to the creative arts in all its diverse forms. Ultimately, Brooke’s desire to help people in her community led her to a career in nursing. She has been a registered nurse for almost ten years, and is currently working in our local cancer center. Time outside of work is spent adventuring with her husband and two small kiddos, fostering their own creativity, exploration, and imaginations.  

Most of Brooke’s photos demand a lot of time and patience. She will sometimes be up at 3 or 4am to drive or hike to a sunrise location; she returns to locations repeatedly for the perfect light, and spends hours scouting the precise camera position. Brooke has backpacked many miles towing heavy camera gear, camping gear and, at times, a child, in order to capture places she may never visit again. Photography allows Brooke to experience a deeper connection to her surroundings, and truly be in the moment. From the time spent in the field to post-processing, she combines her imagination with photography techniques to bring her creative vision and the feeling of the landscape to life. “Chasing light” feeds Brooke’s creative soul and inspires her adventurous spirit.
