Get To Know Me a Little Better
About Olive Avenue
Hi, I'm Brooke Anderson
I am an award winning photographer from Saratoga Springs Utah, I specialize in Weddings, Couples and Portraits (my favorite is women and families)! I have been a photographer for almost eleven years now! When I first started this journey I didn't know how much I needed it. At first I only wanted a camera to make sure I had quality pictures of my kids that they could look back on.. but then I hit the most trying time of my life and it became the thing that kept me breathing. After having four babies in four years I was truly exhausted and depleted. Four little babes crawling into my bed all night long, four little humans needing me and wanting me all day, I was quite literally drowning in motherhood and just drowning in general. I was advised to dive into a hobby and switch my focus onto something I could really distract myself with. So I upgraded my gear and went for it! Photography is what held my head above water. It was something I could pour my negative emotions into, and then turn those emotions into something beautiful. Before I knew it, it was no longer a distraction or something to keep me busy, I NEEDED it to keep me alive. I spent so many hours at my computer learning about my equipment, learning about light, learning about editing. I didn't get bored for even a second, I still don't! I have honestly poured my whole self into what I do and I'm so grateful for every little and big thing that lead me here. I never dreamed I would inspire others, I never dreamed I would get to hang out with beautiful couples all day who are starting their journey together, I am still in shock that I get to visit the Salt Flats multiple times per month and capture stunning people there! I'm so lucky and I really do know it.

TESTIMONIALS
I had the pleasure of working with Olive Avenue photography this past weekend. She was fun and friendly and made sure to get pictures of all the details and all the special moments. I received the pictures today from the bridal session she did a few weeks ago for the same bride and they are simply stunning. I can't wait to see the rest of the images. I would highly recommend! Her work is breathtaking! You won't be sorry.

We are SO IN LOVE with our engagement pictures... She has such an amazing natural eye and she caught the coolest moments with what seemed like such ease. She also helped with wardrobe, planning, ideas, etc. It was so great!
Working with her was fun, easy, and made us feel like superstars. She has a way of communicating with directness but not pushiness. It made us feel taken care of and not worried. She also was SO SO professional, helpful, communicative, accommodating... I totally messed up the timeline (which messed up lighting and her whole plan) and she adjusted beautifully without making me feel bad at all- AND she still captured the light flawlessly!
Lastly, SHES SO COOL! We loved her personality and would hang out with her any time. My fiance was totally obsessed, and was so happy that we picked her. I'm a huge fan and a huge recommender of Brooke!
