I can't see the work "Home" on your search page. Where are you seeing it?

Hi Ben... If I do a google search "Big Sur Photography” Home will always be after Brock Bradford Big Sur Photography
Thanks!

Thanks, Brock. I can see it now. I thought you were referring to the Search page of your site... I'll look into this.

First, Google (or any search engine) doesn't promise that the title they show on their search results will be the exact title you have on your web site. Same with the description. They can (and do) alter these.
The title you have set for the page at https://www.brockbradford.com/ is this:
"Home - Brock Bradford Big Sur Photography"
Google will re-arrange the wording in this case because it wants to put the most important words at the start. Since you have "Home in the title" it's moved it to the end.
All you need to do is remove "home" from your page title.
There's another reason. The page you link to in your Home menu is this:
https://brockbradford.com/?page=home
Google is seeing that and assuming they need to include "home" at the end of your page title, because you're using it as a URL parameter to find this specific page.
This issue seems to be true for all your main pages.
You also have a page https://www.brockbradford.com/Iconic/ but I can't find it in your menus. Also note how the slug starts with a capital I (but URLs should be all lower case). This page is what is called an orphan, since I can't find a link to it in your menus.
You also have a page https://www.brockbradford.com/?page=Iconic but it's a different page.
This pattern seems to be happening for other pages such as "impressions" "light" "about" "home"
The use of ?page= is bad form. You want to use "pretty" links without the ? parameter.
Are you using WordPress to create these pages? Have a read of this article: https://www.webnots.com/what-is-wordpre … change-it/
Your other site bigsurspirit.com has the same issue.
You also have no description on your pages (at least the main pages). It should be about 150 characters.
Google has invented one for you, "I'm a photographer printmaker exploring the iconic and creative process of capturing the light of Nature and experiencing the inspiring radiance of Creation."
