Hi, I'm Samantha Brooke.


I'm Samantha, the human with golden retriever energy behind @samanthabrookephoto and fur mama to Aspen (in heaven), Koa (Mr. Sensitive), and Lily (crazy eyes). I started focusing on families and pups outdoors when I could no longer bribe my husband to model for photography practice; I quickly learned my part golden retriever / part human , Aspen, would work for food. Now with my family and two goldens, I capture pet-friendly adventures both outdoors and around town as well as lifestyle and commercial work.


I strive for images full of emotion, whether it’s toddler jubilance over a bubble machine or dog ears flopping in the wind. Life happens between the posed images, and that’s what I want my work to reflect. If you want the same, then I’d be honored to capture you and your loved ones in the same light.
