Sweet girl,   You’re 5. FIVE. I can’t quite wrap my mind around it! You’re growing up so fast & it’s almost too much for this mama’s heart! This has been quite an interesting year with many blessings and a lot of challenges (hello, global pandemic). Through it all, you’re almost always smiling or laughing […]

I can’t believe I’m already on Year 7 of creating a Yearly Bucket List for myself! This practice of creating a list to intentionally fill each year of my life with things – both big & small – that “fill my bucket” has been so great for me! We all get so busy – especially […]

Well… knowing now that COVID was going to lock down life for a while, I would have made more of an effort to cross some of these things off my Yearly Bucket List during the first 6 months, but I was still able to get a lot done! Regardless of how the global pandemic affected […]

You know how they say good things take time? (or something like that?) Well this session is perfect proof!! Rachel is a professional organizer in the Kingwood area and reached out to me about getting brand photos for her business, Organized Creative Design. Then it seemed as if the universe decided to throw all kinds […]

Sweet girl, You’re 7. SEVEN! I can’t believe it! This turned out to be quite the birthday for you as we celebrated amid the COVID-19 quarantine situation. The thing is though?

I got to meet sweet little Gabrielle about two months after she was born, and gosh, I just love that age! She was giving the sweetest little smiles!

For the second year in a row, I invested in myself and my business by attending the Mompreneur’s Retreat at the start of the year. I made the time to go work on my business, connect with other mompreneurs, and make the effort to refresh/refuel myself to hit the ground running for my business in […]

I’m still dreaming of the fall season of family portraits & am so glad I get to feature the Hickmans today! I had so much fun with these four & love how their Kingwood family portraits turned out. Pretty sure Harper & Emmett couldn’t be any cuter, and they were killing it from the very […]

Hello… well…I guess Hello. I am not 100% sure how to start a blog post, so I am just going to wing it, kinda like the rest of my life. But, I digress…. Hello, My name is Max. I am Brooke’s other half. You probably wonder why in the world Brooke’s husband is writing on […]

This brand session for Kelly of Bird & Hyssop had me alllll in my feels, friend. Why? So many reasons! It was the third & final session in her Brand Collective. It also included the amazing Lynsey of Lynsey Creative (who helped me rebrand b.marie.photography after moving back to Houston!). It started with the three […]
