Boudoir is Booming: My WGN Radio Interview with Jon Hansen 🎙✨

From Empowerment to Instant Gratification: Why Women Love Boudoir - Liz Hansen’s Interview on WGN Radio

I had such a blast chatting with Jon Hansen (no relation 😄) on WGN Radio 720 here in Chicago! We dove into why boudoir photography is having such a major moment right now—and how it’s so much more than sexy photos.

Let’s break it down 👇

💥 Why is boudoir booming?

In Jon’s words, “Everyone’s talking about empowerment.” And it’s true. In a world where we’re constantly in front of screens, more and more women are craving real-life, transformational experiences.

Boudoir is one of those experiences.

Boudoir is a French word that means a woman’s bedroom—but trust me, what happens in my studio is about way more than that.

It’s about…

  • ❤️ Feeling beautiful and confident in your skin

  • 💪 Reclaiming your story—happy or hard

  • ✨ Capturing a moment in time where you feel fully you

💍 Is it just for your partner?

Nope! You don’t need a partner or a special occasion to do this.
Some women come in to celebrate:

  • Their wedding or baby bump

  • Surviving breast cancer

  • Leaving a toxic relationship

  • Or just… because they want to feel powerful AF 🔥

There’s no wrong reason to do a boudoir session. If it’s on your bucket list, don’t wait.

📸 What’s the experience like?

I get this question all the time—so here’s a quick rundown of how it works:

  • You show up with clean, dry hair

  • We do your hair & makeup (hello, lashes and airbrush glam!)

  • Choose outfits from our studio wardrobe or bring your own

  • I guide you through every pose, every expression

  • And the best part? You see your photos the same day—no waiting!

Yes, instant gratification is a thing here 💁‍♀️

😍 “Is that really me?”

It happens every day in the studio. Women see their images and can’t believe how amazing they look—and how powerful they feel.

It’s the kind of transformation that makes my job the actual best.

💰 How much does it cost?

Our session fees range from $99–$399, depending on what type of shoot you want. After your session, you can choose what to purchase—albums, digitals, or even that bold black-and-white nude over the fireplace. 😉

You only buy what you love. Zero pressure.

Ready to see yourself differently?

And thank you again to Jon and the team at WGN Radio for such a great convo! 🎧
