“BROOKE MAKES YOU FEEL AS THOUGH YOU ARE AN OLD, DEAR FRIEND AND THAT SHE SEES YOUR OWN UNIQUE BEAUTY AND IS EXCITED TO CAPTURE IT ON FILM. ONCE SHE GETS GOING, ALL THE FEARS MELT AWAY AND YOU JUST KNOW YOU ARE IN GOOD HANDS.”

Hey there, I’m Brooke!

Timeless, emotive newborn photography in Palo Alto

The newborn days are a quiet kind of whirlwind, tiny fingers curling around yours, the rhythmic rise and fall of their breath on your chest, the way your world has suddenly shifted into something deeper, softer. These are the moments you want to hold onto, not just in memory, but in a way that allows you to revisit them for years to come.

As a Palo Alto newborn photographer, I specialize in film-inspired, in-home newborn photography that reflects the intimacy and beauty of this season. No forced poses. No expectations. Just you, your baby, and the quiet, profound love between you.

A Personalized, Thoughtful Approach
to Palo Alto Newborn Photography

I know how deeply you feel this transition into motherhood. My approach is collaborative and intuitive, designed to create images that reflect your emotions, your story, and the unique connection you share with your baby.

Newborn photography should feel like an extension of your experience—not another thing to check off a list. In your Palo Alto home, I create space for you to simply be present.

Newborn photography isn’t just about remembering how your baby looked, it’s about remembering how this time felt. The quiet moments in between, the way their tiny body fits against yours, the love that expands in ways you never expected.

If you’re expecting or recently welcomed your baby, let’s create something lasting together.
