Bright, Happy Cheerleader from Denton - Senior Pictures by Photographer Lisa McNIel

Brooke is SUCH an interesting person! She loves to talk to people and get to know them, especially older and wiser people. She graduated Billy Ryan High school in May having been a Varsity Cheerleader, learning sign language, and playing the piano. In her free time she watches TV like the rest of us, but also cooks, plays the piano, listens to music, and watches makeup tutorials.

Her favorite memory is competitive cheer and her favorite quote is, "It's the oldest story in the world. One day you're 17 and planning for someday, and then quietly without ever really noticing, someday is today. And then that someday is yesterday, and this is your life."

Mom's perspective Oh this sweet and beautiful child of mine...what can I say? My earliest memories of her is that she loved to sing and was a chatterbox. When she first began to talk, her brother (3 years older) stopped because she talked for the both of them! I think that's why she wants to pursue a career in sales. She has a gift to make people feel comfortable and I know she will excel in that field. Brooke is extremely athletic and is a varsity cheerleader and competitive cheerleader. She shines on the floor and has won many awards for cheerleading. She is loved by her teammates and coaches and I can see her working as a coach or judge in the future. Brooke made up her mind to attend SMU a few years ago after touring the campus. No other college was on her list. I encouraged her to apply other places, but nothing was going to keep her out of SMU despite having a little above average grades and SAT scores. She put it out in the universe and prayed about it for years and was accepted! When she puts her mind to something, there is no stopping her! Brooke has avoided a lot of high school pressures and has kept her strong faith in Jesus first. She spent years playing the piano for the youth worship team despite only taking lessons for 2 years. Her father and I are so proud of her, She's grown into a beautiful young woman inside and out and while she's trying to figure out this transition from high school to beyond, I know she will succeed
