"BROOKE'S WRITTEN MATERIALS AND EDUCATION HAVE BEEN SUCH A RESOURCE OF HOPEFUL ENCOURAGEMENT AND RATIONAL, INTUITIVE PERSPECTIVE FOR US!"
"Brooke was present for the birth of my first son as a student midwife. She was the perfect calming presence needed to help balance the fears and anxiety felt by my husband and myself. I can’t recommend her enough in any capacity at your birth."
“Brooke is an incredibly talented photographer, and just an over all a wonderful human. She has a unique ability to intimately capture tender moments during such a joyous yet fragile time. She quietly observes and honors your space, whilst kindly interacting with you and your family... Her wisdom and encouragement was never intrusive but always a warm welcome during the whirlwind of the first few days/weeks with our baby girl."
