It gave me everything I was looking for and more!
I decided to do my first session with Brooke after I had gotten out of a toxic situation. I was feeling pretty low about myself, searching for something to make me feel better and to get my power back. I had always wanted to do a boudoir photoshoot, so when I found Captured Essence Photography and what Brooke stood for and how she uplifted women, I knew it would be the right fit for me.
I was nervous about how the photos would turn out, if I was going to look silly, and if I would get the feeling I was looking for. I felt so comfortable and felt so good about myself. It gave me everything I was looking for and more!
Brooke is the biggest cheerleader during the shoot and the reveal. I was so excited to show my friends my photos. It was completely worth it and I would recommend it over and over again. I loved it so much, I jumped on the second opportunity.

“I have been putting off a boudoir session for years! I’ve wanted to get to my goal weight and I thought that then I would do it. Well… my ten year anniversary was approaching and I was still far off from my goal weight and with fear and trembling i booked my appointment. What I thought was a gift for my hubby turned out to be the biggest gift for me. Brooke & Lindsay made me feel so comfortable and were so encouraging. I honestly felt like a super model! I did not want my session to end I had so much fun. When I saw my photos I cried. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. The women in these photos was so beautiful, the light coming from her eyes was captivating. I felt at peace with my body for the first time. The biggest compliment I received from my hubby was that I looked so confident and comfortable and that was the way e sees me all the time. Stop waiting till you are a certain size honestly it is the best thing you can do for yourself !

Everyone deserves to feel that kind of joy!
I would have to say this was the most empowering thing I have ever done. I am a pretty quiet person and don’t usually engage into much out of my comfort zone. I had a mini makeover session and photo shoot over a year ago and that was the top of my comfort zone, and I had clothing on. I made a decision after going to a boudoir open house that it was time to do something for me again. I had just come off an ankle injury and was feeling overwhelmed but was happy with where I was after doing nothing for 10 weeks. Lindsay made me look like a million dollars and Brooke made me feel the same way. These two ladies make this experience very relaxing and so calming. I am so excited to share this with my husband on Christmas Eve.

After the shoot- I felt exhilarated. Brooke and Lindsay are so insanely friendly that they felt like friends I had known for years. The experience itself was a lot of fun, and worth it - even without images. It was awesome to try on so many different types of lingerie and move around and determine what feels good on me. I felt special and pampered as my makeup and hair were done - and walked away with a renewed sense of self confidence and reduced insecurity. Their personalities and effort led me to feeling amazing about myself- even before I saw the proofs. I was shocked at how many of the proofs I loved!

YOU deserve to be celebrated and documented through all your seasons.
I went to my appointment “for my husband”. But instead, I walked away from the experience with a different view of myself as a woman. The female form is so graceful, so beautiful, so strong, so resilient and it deserves to be celebrated and documented in all its seasons.
YOU deserve to be celebrated and documented through all your seasons. And we, as women, are so often on the other side of the lens, that we forget that our stories need to be told too. Make the booking.
Hearing my husband say, when he opened his album, “Now can you see yourself the way I see you?” made me realize I probably should have done this a lot earlier.
And I should do it again! Ms. J
