if there is one thing about Brooke, she was not going to the typical birthday photos. Instead of soft florals and neutral tones she wanted something with a little more attitude. think old western vibes, vintage Americana, bold reds, and photos that looked like they could've been pulled straight from a forgotten road trip scrapbook.
The vibe: from the beginning brooke knew exactly what she wanted. we leaned into warm retro tones, pops of red, western inspired details and a location that felt like it belonged in an old country music video. The whole session felt nostaligc in the best way. Like the kind of photos you find years later in a bo and immediately remember exactly how life at 18 felt. This session was about capturing that feeling of freedom, confidence and being excited for whatever comes next and honestly Brooke absolutely owned it.
A note for future brithday girls:
Your birthday photos don't have to look like everyone elses.
Want the cowboy boots? DO IT
Want the vintage truck? DO IT
the best photos happen when the session feels like YOU.
Happy 18th Brooke.
Can't wait to capture so many more birthday photos!
