Meet the Mama behind the camera..


So nice to meet you! My name is Brooke Perkins, I'm 28, a wife and mother to 3 wonderful boys (Aidan, Ledger, and Jasper). Part of the meaning behind "Mama's Rugged Heart" is our 2nd son, Ledger, as he was a stillborn. This loss has given me a completely changed outlook on life, and how we live it. I've finally decide it was time to dive in and do what I've always been passionate about. In losing a child, I learned the hard way that photographs are really ALL we have left sometimes and can quickly become our most precious possessions. As a photographer, my goal is to provide families with their memories frozen in time, for a lifetime; whether happy or sad.


The phases of our lives pass us quickly, take a moment & pause.

family photography, small events, and creative sessions offered!

Let's capture all those milestones, celebrations, events, and just genuinely happy (or even sad) moments of your lives together. Time is surely a thief and holding on to memories is all we have to keep, why not put those memories on display?


Invest in telling the story of your life.

Photos have been passed down through generations for many, many years. It's how we capture moments in time to reflect on, tell stories about, and teach our youth about the generations before them. Don't let your story go untold, capture the moments that mean the most.
