Three ways
I see you.
Every session mixes 35mm film + digital. These are real moments — wind, wrinkles, mid-laugh blur left in on purpose.

that's me — probably laughing behind the camera
Hi, I'm Brooklyn
A little chaos,
a lot of warmth.
I started shooting on a borrowed Canon AE-1 in 2019 and never put one down. My sessions are unhurried — we walk, we talk, we forget the lens is there. I direct just enough so you never feel awkward (where to put your hands, what to do with that nervous laugh), then I get out of the way so the real stuff happens.
- Film + digital, always included — grainy 35mm frames mixed with crisp digitals, no upsell.
- Sneak peeks in 48 hours — 8–12 edited frames while the full gallery (2–3 weeks) is in the darkroom.
- Planned with you over text — outfits, location scouting, timing around nap & sunset. I bring the lint roller.
"She made my camera-shy husband actually smile. The photos feel like us on our best day — not posed, just true." — Maya R., lifestyle session, July

Kind words
Loved, printed,
framed often.
"Our maternity shoot felt like a walk with a friend who happened to have perfect timing. I cried at the sneak peeks."
"She wrangled 14 cousins, two dogs, and a melting cake — and every photo looks effortless. The film shots are unreal."
"I hate photos of myself. Brooklyn is the first photographer who made me keep one as my phone background for a year."

Good to know
Questions I get
every week.
Anything else? Put it in the inquiry form — I answer everything personally.
What should we wear?
Texture over logos: linen, knit, denim, soft florals. I'll send a 2-minute guide + shop links after you book, and you can text me flat-lays for a yes/no.
What if my kid / dog / partner won't cooperate?
That's the job. We build in snack breaks, keep it playful, and never force smiles. Some of my favorite frames are the in-between grumps.
How do film + digital work together?
I shoot both side by side. Digitals give you crisp, true color; 35mm gives you grain and glow. You get both in one gallery at no extra charge.
What happens if it rains?
We watch the forecast together 48 hours out. Reschedule free once, or lean in — overcast light is genuinely flattering and empty parks are a gift.
Can we get prints?
Yes — every gallery has a built-in print shop (archival lustre + fine art). You'll also get printing rights for personal use.
Bookings open for Nov – Feb
