*June 2025- I'm in process of updating this About Me section. You can still read it, but some parts are not complete:)))

Are You An Athlete?

You need to be photographed by someone who actually played and understands you. I played HS, College and Minor League Baseball and coached for years. I have many friends who played in the Big Leagues. I used to shoot Pro and College Sports- LA Lakers, Vandy, UCLA, San Diego Chargers, Memphis and many more. My art was birthed when I was a kid in the 80's- reading Sports Illustrated Magazine. My sports work is nationally recognized. But, what I truly enjoy is connecting and hanging out with you and encouraging you on your career...

Are You A Girl?

I'm a proud Girl Dad! My daughter is 11 and if you have followed our Studio...

Are You Excited About Senior Pictures?

I'm just as excited as you are. I spend 100% of my life...

Have You Gone Through Pain or Challenges?

I have felt it, also. I'm a 2-time Cancer Survivor...

Do You Struggle With Anxiety, Depression, Self-Harm, etc?

I wrestle with ADHD, Anxiety and Depression myself. I am an empath, so I am constantly "feeling" how Mom and Senior are feeling during the session. This allows me to adjust the feel of your shoot day, from moment to moment. Sometimes, I will slow down your adventure. 

=========

I have had the privilege of working with artists such as Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber, Justin Timberlake, U2, Elton John, PINK, Tom Petty, Ed Sheeran, Pearl Jam, Twenty One Pilots, Mariah Carey... you get the picture:)

But, my heart is with our Youth. I also have over 30 years of ministry and coaching experience and a huge gift for speaking LIFE into Teens.

I have created an uplifting and positive experience for your Nashville area Senior Pictures that will make you feel incredible- like a rockstar!  You deserve it!  You are created in God’s image.  You are important and beautiful and unique.  You are enough!


I am the husband of my love, Jen, and a dad of a spunky and sweet ten-year-old girl named Crosbie Joy.  You will definitely hear me gush about them and tell all sorts of great stories about our adventures.

I am a two-time cancer survivor.  I faced my death at an early age and it changed the way I look at life and photography.

I am an encourager at heart.  I love to pump people up, make them smile and laugh and remind them how incredible they are.  Our Senior sessions are FULL of this!  My studio is different by design and you will be like family by the time we are done with our Senior Portrait Celebration!

I have had the opportunity to photograph all over the United States, in places like Los Angeles, Seattle, Denver, NYC, and DC.  I got to do photography in Africa (Nigeria) in 2008.  It has been a crazy ride and I continue to love to explore!

I’m an athlete and love photographing fellow athletes!  I played baseball through college (and a week in the minor leagues!) and have finished 7 marathons.

I love music and (obviously) shooting concerts.  My favorite bands are U2, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Switchfoot, MUTEMATH, Hillsong United, RUSH, and… well, you get the point…

My wife is a world-class Graphic Designer and owner of Jen Brookman Graphic Design.

TEXT ME AND LET'S CREATE!

"I’m JB… and I really want to create with you!

I am obsessed with creating uplifting and master-level art.

I am obsessed with speaking Life into and encouraging your teen."
