About

About Me – Jeff Brooks | Speaker Friend

Hi, I’m Jeff Brooks – but most people in my world know me as Speaker Friend.

I’m a brand and public relations photographer with a passion for helping authors, speakers, coaches, and subject matter experts shine in their calling. For over 20 years, I’ve been capturing images that do more than just look good – they tell stories, build brands, and connect people with their audiences in authentic, impactful ways.

Photography found me early. My dad was the family’s unofficial photographer, and from him I inherited both a love for the camera and a love for preserving meaningful moments. Over the years, that spark grew into a lifelong pursuit. From my first film camera at 15 to covering milestone brand launches, media appearances, and high-profile events, I’ve dedicated myself to mastering both the art and the strategy behind powerful imagery.

But my story doesn’t start and end with photography. I bring over 25 years of experience in website design, online marketing, SEO, and branding strategy – skills that give my clients more than just photos. I understand the bigger picture of building a brand, telling a story, and making an impact in today’s digital world.

What sets me apart isn’t just my technical expertise – it’s my approach. I’m personable, encouraging, and purpose-driven, leading with my Christian faith in everything I do. I create a comfortable, collaborative environment so my clients can show up authentically, confident that their message will be captured with excellence.

I’ve been blessed to work with remarkable people and brands, from major industry leaders to inspiring local changemakers. Whether I’m behind the lens at a conference, in the studio for a branding session, or consulting on a domain name strategy, my mission is the same: to help you be seen, heard, and remembered.

So, welcome to my world. If you’ve got a story to tell, a message to share, or a brand to build – I’d love to be your Speaker Friend.

I really love doing what I do! It’s not work, it’s purpose! Speaker Friend!

You are your brand

Personal Branding Photography

Your brand is the story people see, hear, and remember about you, and in a visually driven culture, photography is one of the most powerful tools to shape that story. High-quality, intentional images not only capture your personality and style but also communicate your values, expertise, and professionalism before you even say a word. Personal branding photography ensures you’re showing up confidently and consistently across all platforms, making a lasting impression that aligns with who you are and what you stand for.
