You didn’t land here by accident, something inside you is whispering,
It’s time…
Time to be seen. Time to stop shrinking.
Time to show up in your skin, unapologetically.
This is boudoir.
This is the real stuff: the raw, radiant, cracked-open beauty of self-acceptance.
Is tired of putting herself last
Feels disconnected from her body and wants to reconnect
Is healing, evolving, grieving, or celebrating, babe we have space for it all!
Wants to feel powerful, present, and seen
Is craving something for her, not her job, her kids, or her partner
If you feel that tug in your chest, that pull in your gut, this is your sign.
This experience is for the Women who,
Over the last 14 years, hundreds of Women have trusted us with their boudoir experience
Hey, I’m Brooke,
Photographer. Artist. Fire sign. Ocean lover. Moon gazer. Sunset chaser. Mom, Wife, Mimi, and professional hype woman.
I’ve been behind the camera for over 20 years and have spent the last 14 creating deeply personal, empowering boudoir experiences for women who are ready to reconnect with their bodies and see themselves through a lens of love with a little sass.
I believe beauty lives in our imperfections, in the lines we’ve earned, the curves we carry, and the stories our bodies tell. I don’t chase perfection. I celebrate real. The messy. The magical. The moments in between.
I’m wildly optimistic, a little chaotic, and deeply committed to creating spaces where women feel safe, seen, and celebrated. Somewhere between confidence and beautiful mess, you’ll find me, doing the work to heal my own wounds, show up more authentically, and invite other women to do the same. That personal journey has not only changed me, it’s transformed how I photograph others and how I show up in photographs and life.
Whether I’m out in my garden, painting something colorful, curating an outfit, or crafting a killer charcuterie board with a margarita in hand, I’m always bringing my love of art, expression, and connection into everything I do.
If you’re looking for someone who will cheer you on, hold space for every part of you, and create images that make you say “Damn, that’s me?!” — I’ve got you.
Let’s make some magic.

Every Woman deserves to feel this way
“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 relationship. 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 can’t do justice to how liberating and freeing this experience is. I did my first boudoir shoot with Brooke and she calmed my nerves as soon as I walked in the door. The hair and makeup were done to perfection and Brooke guided me through the process and poses with grace. She actually made the process fun! The photos turned out better than I imagined and made me see myself in a better light. I highly recommend this experience!”

“Captured Essence Photography is absolutely phenomenal. I had the most amazing experience with Brooke. Her talent and care turned what could have been nerve-wracking into an experience that left me feeling like a total bombshell. I have had Brooke photograph me before but today we did a full session with hair, makeup and plenty of outfit chages. She knows how to bring out your best angles (even the ones you didn’t know you had 😉). If you’re on the fence about boudoir, this is your sign: DO IT!”
