Located in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley, J. Brooke Chao Photography features affordable, limited edition fine art photographs with a wide range of subjects and styles including landscape, still life, abstract, architecture, botanical and wild life.
We also carry a line of gift items, based on our photos, available through our CafePress.com storefront.
A Virginia native, Brooke Chao studied Music at James Madison University,
where she graduated with a degree in Voice in 1996. Since, graduating, she has
remained in the Shenandoah Valley, where she lives with her husband, son and daughter,
and where she receives the inspiration for the majority of her photographs.
Brooke's interest in photography began as a child when her Uncle gave her an old
Praktica Nova IB. She's loved photography ever since. While her passion remains the
same, she currently uses a Canon 20D digital SLR to capture her photographs.
In addition to photography, Brooke also enjoys painting, with her primary medium being
watercolor.

I believe that beauty is all around us, whether it be the gossamer
wings of a butterfly, the delicate petals of a flower, the sweet
laughter and smile of a child, or in the graceful lines and patterns of
architecture. I believe our Creator has given us the divine gift of
beauty, both through nature, and through our ability to create beauty,
as a way to share Himself with us.
Unfortunately, it's all too easy, and too common, to get busy and
wrapped up in the little details of our daily lives, causing us to miss
what is right before us, and the moments of beauty that are there for a
moment, and then gone. My photographs are my attempt to capture and
document that beauty, to be enjoyed and shared with others.
