I have a body, I am female and I matter

You may have noticed that we live in a world that often prioritizes the male perspective and male bodies.

We live in a nation that has only ever elected male presidents. 

You might take a pharmaceutical drug that was only ever tested on male bodies.

You might buckle up with a seatbelt that was only ever tested for safety with male-sized and male-proportioned crash-test dummies.

An interview with Liz Hansen, photographer at the Chicago Boudoir Photography studio (Winnetka, IL)

Why did you become a photographer?

I studied art in college, but I put aside all artistic pursuits when I needed to get a "real job." Ten years later, I got a job answering the phones at a boudoir photography studio. When I accepted the job, I had never heard of boudoir photography. But I quickly learned about the power of photography when I watched clients have life-changing experiences in front of the camera. After working at that boudoir studio for three years, I decided to open my own studio. I have photographed nearly 2,000 women there since 2018 - and loved every minute of it!

"The boudoir images captured my beauty in a way that was both empowering and deeply affirming."

What was your main reason for booking a boudoir shoot?: Booking a boudoir shoot allowed me to capture intimate and tasteful photographs that would serve as a unique and personal gift for my fiancé/future husband on our wedding day. I wanted to create something special that would express my love and affection for him in a way that's both memorable and intimate, and a boudoir shoot seemed like the perfect opportunity to do so.

Should You Share Photos from Your Boudoir Shoot On Your Social Media?

As much as I love to see women feeling proud and empowered by their sexuality, I also want them to get the most out of this experience. Meaning share your photos with people who can relate or sympathize...not just random strangers on the internet! Make sure you are sharing with people who will encourage you and support you, not harass or judge you.
