Don’t just take it from me…
Hear first hand what a Capture Boudoir experience is really like from the clients themselves!
“I wanted to tell you something, and I'm sure this is nothing new from a client.
As you know, I was so excited (and a little nervous) about my shoot, but the preparation leading up to it, along with the day itself, blew my expectations out of the water. Soooo much fun...it felt joyful, actually, and I don't use that word lightly. Joy is so much deeper and life-altering than regular happiness.
Here's what I didn't expect. I have looked at myself in these photos many times since that day, and when I do, I feel the way I told you I wanted to feel when we had our phone consult. I look at myself and I see beauty and strength; I see grace. I see joy. I have spent years in therapy learning how to move from self-hatred to self-love, and I've come a long way toward that goal. I love the woman I see in that photo, and it absolutely brought me to tears realizing that it took this boudoir shoot to finally get me all the way there.
I told you I've been struggling for the last 5 years with about 15 extra pounds, and have really been so disappointed in myself and in my body...especially in this last year since my hysterectomy and "instant menopause." Though I know I'm not "fat" I have worried about my weight obsessively since I put that extra weight on.
I'm telling you, Mary Beth, those thoughts have completely STOPPED since the photo shoot. I feel happy where I am and how I look and have come to some important realizations about how I see myself--and these things ultimately will make me a happier, more peaceful woman.
Thank you, THANK YOU for showing me who I really am.

“The couples boudoir shoot we did with Mary Beth was amazing!
The anticipation of waiting for the shoot to start while my wife was getting dolled up in hair and makeup only added to the excitement I felt once the photo shoot started. Wonderful time that day and will continue to love seeing the pictures of my wife and I happy and in love for the rest of our lives! Thank you Mary Beth”

“I’m not sure how to even put in words how comfortable and relaxed you made everything.
From talking with you on the initial phone call, meeting you in person the day of the shoot, and the actual shoot itself was the most calm and almost natural feeling. I HATE having my picture taken and to be in my undies in a stranger’s house with a camera pointed at me and yet be totally at ease was amazing! The pictures you took were amazing and even still I look at them in awe thinking “holy shit…that’s me...”
-Michelle
“I still can’t believe these photographs are me!!!
Thank you again for such an amazing experience. I love what you are doing to inspire people to see themselves for who they truly are and not what we think of ourselves.”

“When I say, this photo shoot with Mary Beth saved me, it sounds as big as it is
Yes I have parts of my body I dislike and that I was self conscious about, but the confidence I showed during the shoot and that she expertly captured in photo after photo, was real. Not just real, but something I’ve always had inside me that I rarely acknowledge or let out anymore. For more than 20 years that part of me has been broken and hopeless, with a big part of me telling myself that I haven’t deserved to feel sexy or confident, that I shouldn’t like my body. And I wish I could have purchased almost every picture that was taken.
In less than 4 hours it doesn’t just feel like I’ve chipped away at that belief I had built up, its been broken. I’ve been wrong for so long and I couldn’t be more thankful to Mary Beth for offering the opportunity for this and for the professionalism and level of comfort she creates.
She literally helped saved my heart, mind and spirit and I’ll never be able to articulate fully my appreciation for what she did. I can definitely wait until my next boudoir session with her, simply because I want to work on the parts of my body I want to change and am suddenly very motivated to do so. I am however, incredibly excited to show the woman I will become because of all of this and to see how much I can growth there will be in the next session!”
