 “Liz was great! She was able to give me a ton of direction. She put me at ease right away and I got to see all of my photos before I even left the Chicago Boudoir studio, which was fabulous. It was breathtaking— I've never seen myself look so sexy.”

 “This was definitely a splurge for me. And totally out of my comfort zone. But seriously SO worth it! Liz showed me exactly how to pose and made me feel so comfortable. My boyfriend’s jaw hit the floor when he opened the album! I’m so glad that I booked at Chicago Boudoir Photography!”

Liz Hansen Chicago Boudoir Photography Headshot

Hi, I’m Liz!

I’m the photographer at Chicago Boudoir and I can’t wait to meet you! I love how beautiful portraits empower women to gain confidence and recognize their unique beauty.

I have been a professional photographer since 2011 and I truly believe that boudoir is for everyone, regardless of age, size or shape. Giving boudoir photos as a gift is really fun, but this experience is really for YOU.

Frequently Asked Questions

Plus size woman boudoir photography

What is a boudoir photoshoot?
Boudoir is a fancy word that means an empowering Victoria’s Secret style photoshoot for the everyday woman. The 100% female staff at Chicago Boudoir will help you feel confident and look gorgeous.

I’m super nervous - I’ve never done anything like this before! 
Of course you're nervous!  Doing something out of your comfort zone is always a bit nerve-wracking. But that's part of the fun of a boudoir photoshoot! We'll be with you every step of the way. 

When will I get to see my photos?
Right after your shoot - before you leave the studio!

Will you retouch my acne/ wrinkles/ cellulite?
You’re beautiful just as you are. But yes, we are happy to retouch all of your images at no extra charge.

Will you post my images online?
Only if you tell us that we can! We take your privacy very seriously.

I’m a curvy girl - can you still make me look good?
YES! We specialize in creating gorgeous boudoir portraits of every woman. Check out our portfolio for examples.

How far in advance should I schedule my shoot?
Because we specialize in boudoir, the Chicago Boudoir calendar fills up quickly.  We recommend coming in for your shoot 6-8 weeks before you need your album.  No matter what your timeline is, get in touch - we can sometimes accommodate last-minute requests.

What do I need to bring to my shoot? What about waxing, tanning, nails? Can I bring my boyfriend’s football jersey?

Plan to bring at least one lingerie outfit to be photographed in. We also have lots of wardrobe items and props available at the studio to accessorize your outfits, including shoes in sizes 5-14. We’ll send you a detailed prep guide before your shoot with everything else you’ll need to know about getting ready.

How much does a boudoir shoot cost?
There is a session fee to book your shoot, which includes professional hair and makeup and approximately 4 hours at the studio for your photoshoot experience. Right after the shoot while you're still at the studio, you'll get to see your photos and decide what you want to purchase from your shoot. We offer luxury boudoir albums, framed wall art, and digital downloads in collections starting at $999.

What are the studio hours?
We are open Monday-Saturday 9AM - 7PM.

How do I book my boudoir photoshoot?
Give us a call/text at 312.425.2946 or send us a message to get started. You can also click here if you’re ready to get on the calendar! We can’t wait to have you in the studio!

 “I've always wondered what it would be like to be the beautiful girl in magazine, but I never dreamed it would be me! Liz made me feel beyond beautiful - I was a super model for a day! I don't think of myself as being very photogenic but Liz made it so easy. I walked out of the boudoir studio feeling confident and fierce! I felt so empowered. I will definitely be back!”
