Hi there! I’m Brooke!

I am a freelance photographer, outdoor enthusiast and traveler located in the beautiful, moody Pacific Northwest.

I truly felt alive when I started hiking, backpacking, and traveling. I was intimidated when I first started hiking, so many seasoned veterans on the trail, what did I know? So I immersed myself in this world by reading and watching videos, learning from those who grew up in the outdoors and learning from my mistakes out on the trail. I am here because I want to encourage others to climb those mountains in life. I know it can feel intimidating starting a new adventure later in life, but if you don’t do it now, when will you? Never? Growing up with anxiety and depression, I limited myself because I was too afraid to try something new. I felt alone, but I wasn’t, and you aren’t either. I am here to share my adventures with you in a safe space for learning and growing in a world where everyone is a “know-it-all”, I’m just here “learning-it-all”.

Thank you for stopping by my little corner of the internet!

Your adventure bff,

Brooke
