I’ve had the absolute privilege of photographing Brooklyn from the very beginning. I actually started photographing her parents long before she was ever even a sparkle in their eye. And when she arrived, I was invited to capture those first precious moments of her life as a newborn and so many moments since then!

It’s been a journey of many milestones since then, and now—somehow—she’s sixteen.

Brooklyn is such a beautiful young woman. She carries herself with a quiet confidence and a tender spirit that is so rare. Over the years, she’s become the source of so many of my most favorite memories—both in front of the camera and in this life.

Photographing her in this new chapter feels like coming full circle. It is a complete honor to be part of her story in this way.
Full circle moment:
Brooklyn: watching you grow, witnessing the young woman you're becoming, and capturing each stage of your life is something I will always treasure deeply.I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you—because I know it’s going to be something special. Whatever you take, I have no doubt you’ll walk it with grace, kindness, and that quiet strength that’s always set you apart.

Happy Sweet Sixteen, Brooklyn. Thank you for letting me be part of your story.


With love, Tia
