Meet the Artist:
Brooke Holliday
A Mother. An Artist. A Witness to Your Story.
I’m Brooke Hollidaya 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 conversation a partnership. You bring your presence, your story, 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.
“BROOKE DOES SUCH AN AMAZING JOB MAKING YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE AND ABLE TO BE YOUR SELF. SHE REALLY CAPTURES WHAT MAKES EACH OF US UNIQUE.”

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.
What I Value
Mothers feeling safe, seen, and beautiful in their own skin
A slower, more intentional approach to family photography
Emotional depth and quiet luxury over trends or perfection
Photographs that feel as good as they look
“The world moves fast. My work asks it to slow down, for just long enough to notice what matters most.”

If any part of this feels like your story, I’d be honored to work together.
This isn’t just about photographs, it’s about creating something you’ll return to again and again.
