Get to know me

Hey there! It's so nice to meet you! I'm Sam the creator and founder of Brooks Beach. Brooks Beach is an online space for normal girlies to romanticize their lives. I'm an artist and photographer living in Southern California. I'll share weekly blog posts that cover everything from personal stories to business ideas. It's a space to feel good, garden, have date nights with romantic partners and get togethers with friends, and lots of tips and tricks.  So cheers to building a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside.
