• Google review: Brooke is the photographer of my dreams! I've always relied on home-grown photo sessions and selfies for my "professional" headshots. This year, I decided to up my game and put my best self out to the world. I was terrified. How do I start? Who do I contact? Can I trust them? What if I make the investment and end up hating the images? I did several Google searches, turning up photographers in the Albuquerque area with humdrum content. Then I tweaked my search phrase to include what was most important to me – I needed a photographer who was good at working with camera-shy people – and up popped Brooke Bailey. I perused some of her portfolio images, and they are all very good, but what I found most compelling were her videos explaining her process and her experience with others like me. I immediately booked a call with her, followed by a personal branding session. And I'm thrilled that I took the plunge. Brooke is very skilled at putting her clients at ease and making them feel at home in her home studio. During our initial meeting, she walked me through the process so that I would know what to expect on photo day. We selected outfits, and she crafted a couple that I would have never in a million years put together for myself (they turned out to be brilliant), and then she sent me on my way with a small to-do list to get ready for the big day. When the day came, I was warmly greeted by Brooke, and she helped me bring my clothes, shoes, and accessories inside. I then had a fabulous makeup and hair session with her colleague, and before I could even think about bolting out the door, we started the photography portion. She would stop periodically to show me how the images looked on her camera. I was stunned. What kind of wizardry was this? Let's keep going! And we sure did. All told, I was with Brooke for nine hours, including the final photo selection process, and I went home so excited to share my experience with my husband. I'm now starting to see the final, edited photos, and I love them all. I expect to have the remainder sometime today, and I can't wait! Thank you, Brooke, from the bottom of my heart!
• Google review: Hands down the best photo session I have ever had! Brooke is an ANGEL! She is a natural artist and her abilities are phenomenal. Brooke's personality is so down to earth and fun so you can expect to laugh a lot during your session. The container that Brooke provides is the perfect experience for anyone looking to take the next step in their career or personal life. Booking a shoot with Brooke catapults you into the next chapter of your life with confidence, not only by providing you amazing images, but by feeling the entire experience which allows you to see yourself in a new light. Brooke guided me very detailed into power poses I had never really done before. I felt shocked seeing myself so confident and happy when she would show me the enbetween sets so much to the point where I'd cry seeing myself in ways I had only dreamed. The way that Brooke understands and acknowledges the depths and complexities of life allows you to feel safe and understood. I truly felt truly heard, seen and valued by Brooke. She helped me feel confident in my makeup, outfit choices and helped me feel safe and comfortable to be myself through her guidance throughout the entire day through the container she provided. I will forever cherish my images and be so grateful to have crossed paths with Brooke! Thank you Brooke for helping me feel like a queen on my birthday!
