A pre-masectomy photoshoot for Tricia at the Chicago Boudoir Photography studio

Having Tricia in the Chicago Boudoir Photography studio was SUCH a treat. She brought a beautiful light and radiance with her! I knew from the moment that Tricia walked in the door that this was going to be a special photoshoot.

Tricia booked a boudoir photoshoot to celebrate her life and body before she would be going in for a mastectomy due to a breast cancer diagnosis. Tricia wanted to take the opportunity to feel pampered and beautiful before the day of surgery would come.

Even though she was facing cancer and major surgery, Tricia chose to face these onstacles not just with patience and grace but also with JOY! In fact she wrote on a card for her shoot, “Joy is my superpower!” I felt her joy and optimism the whole time she was in the studio. Check out her beautiful photos below to see for yourself!

I loved having you in the studio, Tricia and wish you the absolute best!!
