Ashley Dawn - BROOKE! You are amazing and beautiful! Awesome Interview! :D

Gail Folkerson - Heidi, what a great site you have! I loved the interview with Brooke Weidauer (not just because she’s my daughter), but because I learned even more than I knew about her, but what she failed to tell you is what a wonderful daughter, wife, mother and friend she is! She has her priorities, Loves her work but Family is always the first and foremost to her! Best wishes, Gail Folkerson

Brittany Rulis - Aside from being a ridiculously amazing photographer, Brooke is probably the nicest person you will ever meet. Seriously an inspiration.

Rebecca Forbush - Great interview with a great woman!! Being a friend before she ” made it big” :) I remember her being so critical of her work….. She put so much time studying and perfecting it, I’m so proud of her! And agree with the other comments about her being such a good, nice person…. So true! :)
