Hi, I’m Brooke.

Let’s take a closer look.

I’m so glad you’re here! I’m a Midwest transplant from Va. Beach, Virginia to St. Louis, MO and live here with my husband, Aaron. See things closer was born out of my personal experiment to take a closer look at what is important in life. From there I found my love and passion for photography. Since then, I have spent the last seven years learning, growing, and perfecting my craft. I love hearing your story, and capturing it in a way that it can be told without a single word spoken. I view photography as a stamp in time, allowing me to document and freeze a certain moment in your life. I’m so glad you are here and hope to capture you soon.

A little more about me: Even though I celebrate every day like it is World Nutella Day, I’m still a wellness junkie. While I’m not afraid to be in front of the camera, my true love is being behind it capturing life. I am obsessed with anything and everything Wes Anderson. So much so, that the name of my photography business is inspired by a quote from Suzy, one of the main characters in “Moonrise Kingdom”. Suzy says that binoculars give her a magic power which allows her to see things closer.
