💜 Domestic Violence Awareness Month:
Empowerment. Support. Solidarity. 💜
Every woman deserves to feel safe, seen, and strong.
This October, Chicago Boudoir Photography is proud to honor Domestic Violence Awareness Month by turning our platform into a space for awareness, empowerment, and action. We’re teaming up with local partners to provide both resources and opportunities for real change—supporting survivors and those still in the fight, one step at a time.
📸 $99 Boudoir Sessions Benefiting WINGS
For the entire month of October 2025, we're offering deeply discounted $99 boudoir sessions (regularly $399)—where proceeds of the session fees will be donated directly to WINGS Program, Inc..
WINGS is a Chicago-area nonprofit dedicated to breaking the cycle of domestic violence through housing, education, advocacy, and wraparound services for survivors.
💖 When you book your session, you're not just investing in yourself—you’re helping another woman find freedom and safety.
