Brooke Lark hails from a 100-year old studio in the heart of Salt Lake City. A professional food photographer and videographer, she is the author of 10+ cookbooks whose work appears in digital and paper magazines around the globe.
Brooke Lark has been a professional food photographer and videographer since 2006. Her client list includes General Mills, Disney, World Kitchen, Int’l Housewares Association, kitchenware giant GoodCook, NYTimes Bestselling nutritionist YuriElkaim.com, FitMenCook, Simple Green Smoothies, and NatureNates.com.
Brooke’s Food Photography and Videography FB Group has grown to be one of the largest gatherings of food creators in the industry, with more than 5000+ members and growing.
And early contributor to Unsplash (the very idea of generously giving away her photography struck a chord and she was immediately hooked), Brooke’s photos have been viewed and downloaded millions of times monthly. Work uploaded to her food blog is free to download, use and share but Brooke also customizes shoots for clients and their brands.
When not playing with food or launching new businesses, Brooke is likely out with her witty teens, escaping to the canyons on mountain bike or chasing her vaguely naughty puppy around the neighborhood.

Another great episode Elaine. It is amazing how different all your guests are, they all have their own success in a different and unique way: as a book writer, as a photographer, as a chef. You never stop learning from their experience and there is always a new idea on how to create your own success as a blogger. I love Brooke’s philosophy about been inspired by other bloggers instead of feeling threaten or envious. I so much believe in cooperation and support for each others, …and you well know that !
Thank you Laura!! I can’t tell you how much your comments mean to me! And yes, I do know ;)!
