Hello!
Thank you for stopping by! I’d love to share a little about myself. My name is Brooke Parker, and I was born and raised in the stunning mountains of Western North Carolina. I'm a Leicester native, just outside of Asheville.
​
My passion for photography began in my teenage years, around 2002. I would take a small point-and-shoot camera out to the pasture to photograph my horses. I found it so relaxing and loved expressing my creativity through the lens. For years, photography remained a hobby. Back then, I never imagined it would grow into a full-time career.
​
On Easter morning in 2005, I gave my heart to Christ and accepted Him as my Savior. A few years later, I began playing guitar and singing at our church. Today, my family is deeply involved in ministry, and my husband is a preacher. We are passionate about serving God and sharing His love with others.
​
In 2008, I graduated with an Associate’s Degree in Veterinary Medical Technology and married my sweet husband, Brent, that same year. I spent seven years working as a Licensed Veterinary Technician at various local veterinary clinics. While it was a fulfilling career, I felt a strong calling toward something greater. I wanted to use my creativity and artistic abilities in a way that honored the talents God has blessed me with.
​
In 2014, our son Tanner was born, giving me a new sense of purpose beyond anything I could have imagined. I was blessed to stay at home and raise him, though I still longed for a career where I could contribute financially to the family.
​
In 2015, I felt a strong calling to take my passion for photography to the next level. With the support and encouragement of my husband and family, I enrolled in a digital photography course at our local community college. I also took one-on-one lessons at a photography studio in Asheville. With these courses as my foundation and much prayer, I decided to pursue photography as a profession.
​
As expected, it started slowly. Building a client base took time, but I am blessed to say that I have been running a thriving, full-time photography business for over 10 years now!
​
Today, I’m living my dream—putting my artistic talents to good use and loving every moment of it. I’m confident that God isn’t finished with me yet, and I’m excited about the future of Brooke Parker Photography!
My
Studio
I began honing my studio photography skills in 2017, initially offering sessions in a rustic building on my parents’ property. Over the next few years, as my bookings steadily grew, my husband and I realized it was time to invest in a dedicated space of my own.
​
In the spring of 2019, we began construction on a custom studio located on our property, right next to our home. We spent the entire summer bringing the space to life, and I officially moved into the studio on October 4th of that year.
​
As of February 1st of 2026, my studio has moved to a new, larger storefront located a bit closer to Asheville. I feel incredibly blessed and excited for this opportunity to expand my business and better serve my clients.
