Hi, I am Brooke Bianco.
I am a photographer based out of Greenfield, Indiana. I started photography as a sales photographer when I was 18 years old at Mystic Aquarium in Connecticut. You know, those people who ask to take your photo when you walk into an attraction? Yeah, I was one of those people. My favorite things to photograph while I was there though wasn't the entry photos. It was the encounters. Every summer, an exotic bird tent would get set up. We would go in that tent and take photos of people interacting with birds. From spring until fall, the aquarium offered a program called "trainer for a day" a photographer (me) would follow around the guest(s) that paid for it and we would take photographs with them throughout their day. They'd get the opportunity to feed penguins, sea lions and beluga whales. They'd get to interact, play and touch these animals. Other days, there were "beluga encounters". Guests would get into the water with the beluga's and get to have photos taken with them. I've even participated in some of these encounters myself as a benefit of working at the aquarium! Fast forward a few years and I joined the military and started a family of my own. I'm married and have three children. I've was a medical technician in the Air Force for 8 years. Before I joined, I had purchased myself my first camera, a Nikon D50. It was the same camera I had the pleasure to use while I was working at the aquarium. I never used it professionally, but I did take plenty of photographs of horses with it! Between working at the aquarium and joining the military, I went to college in Waverly, West Virginia to learn to ride and train horses. I had already been riding for 7 years by that point. While I was there, I was always taking pictures of the horses! I did eventually end up selling that camera because I needed the money. Then, Christmas 2021 came around and my amazing husband purchased me the camera I am using now! The Canon EOS 2000D. I still lacked the confidence to go out and find clients though. Not being from this area that meant I had to find strangers willing to trust me and my abilities and give me a chance. In July of 2022 I officially started my business. My goal is to make this my full-time income so that I can finally do something I love doing, documenting memories for people! I am constantly striving to learn more and do better. Taking photographs and editing is a joy for me. Whether it's people, nature, animals, events or anything else you can think of I am happy to photograph it for you!
Why do I do things the way that I do?
My set up is a little different than most photographers you'll find these days. Most offer you digital copies of your photos and you can either print on your own or purchase through them. I have set up so that I am primarily offering print packages only. You'll still get those digital copies you can share on social media, but I want to help you decorate your walls at home. I offer various different packages so you can select what works best for you and your family. Selecting me as your photographer means you will get high quality prints delivered to your doorstep that you can send to friends and family and put on your walls for years to come. You'll always have the physical memories to cherish that can be passed down generation after generation. Digital files are easy to get lost and forgotten about over the years. Anyone can take a digital photo with their phone whenever they like, I am not here to give you digital phone quality photos. I am here to give you high-quality, high-resolution prints that can be remembered and enjoyed by all members of the family young and old. I don't like to put time limits on helping you make your memories. What fun is it when I am constantly checking my watch to make sure I don't go over or under? I'd rather make sure I give you as much or as little time as you and your family need to ensure I am able to deliver a beautiful full gallery to you.
