In 2010, Brooke started blogging about food and photography as a hobby.  She spent a summer going from restaurant to restaurant in West Yellowstone, taking pictures of her food, and writing about her experiences.  Although she kept at it and expanded her geography, she wasn't doing it with any particular business objective in mind.  She just enjoyed connecting with people and sharing her thoughts.  She was also gaining a following doing it.  One day her husband suggested that what she was doing had some business opportunities. She thought he was right so she doubled down on her efforts. A few years later she has a crew of bloggers that have joined her cause, she's earning an income, and connecting with and serving even more.  She has recently launched FemaleFoodie Elite, a program that teaches others how to develop their own blog and following!
