More about Brooke Straiton Photography

I’m a photographer in Morrisville, Bucks County, PA that specializes in portrait photography. Back in 2016, I decided to give photography a whirl after years of burying my creativity and getting burnt out by my corporate job. After all this time I truly believe I made the right choice and have never looked back.

What kind of photography do I do? 

The quick answer – Portraits!
I’ve tried all types of photography. Weddings, babies, real estate…you name it. In the last few years, I narrowed my photography focus to portraits. More specifically:

Beauty portraits – beautiful contemporary portraits of women, high school seniors, and creative beauty portraits

Branding photos – Professional photos for marketing purposes, ranging from headshots to lifestyle product photography

Boudoir photography – Empowering photos of women with the idea that we are all beautiful no matter our shape, size, age, or experience

What gets me excited about photography?

The people, the process, the reactions.

I get to meet amazing people every day. People that have the same self-doubts that I do. People that think they aren’t “photogenic”. Hint – that’s not a real thing. I get to hear stories that move me. I get to influence people’s attitudes towards themselves. I get to make photography a little less painful, and maybe even a little enjoyable.

Photography allows me to be creative. I can pull an idea or some kind of inspiration into reality. It’s like solving a puzzle, telling a story, and being an artist all rolled into one. There’s no limit. And inspiration can come from anywhere. It allows me to embrace the dreamer side of me. 

And at the end of the day. I get to see the reaction of the person that was brave enough to get in front of the camera. Like pulling back a curtain to reveal their prize. And while others are being brave in front of the camera, every photograph I put out there requires a bit of bravery from me. Because the work I put out there comes from my vision. So it’s a bit personal for me too.

The Morrisville studio space

In July of 2021, I started telling people how I wanted a new studio space. I wanted something that inspired me to create and inspired others to trust in that creative process. The next thing I knew, my friend messaged me with a link to a listing for the perfect space. I moved in one month later. It was a bit of a gamble to take on the larger space, but it was also a labor of love. I’m slowly converting every corner to be worthy of a photo. The energy is so much better here, and my work is really letting that show. I encourage everyone to stop by during their consultation, just to see the possibilities. 

What’s the one thing I want you to know

I love being a photographer. I truly love what I do. Someone once asked me if I would choose to do this even if I never made any money. The answer is yes. I’m truly blessed to have found what I was put here to do. I hope to share that with others for many years to come. Because it does make a difference in your life. I create a legacy for your family. Your image will exist long after you are gone. And wouldn’t you rather that legacy be something amazing?
