A Mother. An Artist. A Witness to Your Story.

I’m Brooke Holliday

a Tacoma-based motherhood and family photographer specializing in timeless film photography. I create emotive, artful images for mothers and families throughout Seattle, Tacoma, the Puget Sound and Beyond! My work is rooted in presence and collaboration, honoring the quiet, fleeting moments of your story so you can return to them for decades to come.

There are only three rules:

No guards or walls.
No expectations.
And absolutely no pressure to perform.

Photography as Collaboration

I approach every session as a collaboration. You bring your story and your people. I bring film, light, and intuition. Together, we create something that feels like memory: textured, honest, and full of heart.

A Personal Note:

When my oldest daughter was born, I took a photograph of her resting on my chest, milk-drunk, wrinkled, and perfect. Her father was asleep in the frame, just barely. We were exhausted, undone, completely in love. That image is still one of my most cherished. Not because it’s flawless, but because it reminds me: this is what it felt like.

And that’s what I want to give you.

Feelings move us. Emotions inspire us. Nostalgia keeps us enamored.

WhY I Love Film

Film slows me down. It makes me pay attention. It invites softness and intention, the same qualities motherhood asks of us every day. The grain, the light, the imperfection… together they create something more soulful than perfect. They make it real.
