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
WHAT IS A BOUDOIR PHOTO SHOOT?
Boudoir is a fancy word that means an empowering Victoria’s Secret style photo shoot for the everyday woman. Our 100% female staff will help you feel confident and look gorgeous. Come to our studio if you want gorgeous maternity photos taken in lingerie, partially nude or fully nude.
WHEN SHOULD I BOOK MY MATERNITY BOUDOIR SESSION?
Most clients book in their first or second trimester. Booking early guarantees availability as the calendar fills very quickly. We recommend coming in for your shoot at 28-34 weeks.
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 photo shoot! We'll be with you every step of the way. We will tell you exactly what to do with your hands and your face. We will use professional studio lighting to flatter your body and highlight your new curves.
WHEN WILL I GET TO SEE MY PHOTOS?
Right after your shoot - before you leave the studio!
WILL YOU RETOUCH MY ACNE/ WRINKLES/ CELLULITE?
YES! All of your images will be fully retouched at no extra charge.
WILL YOU POST MY IMAGES ONLINE?
No. We take your privacy very seriously!
HOW MUCH DOES A MATERNITY BOUDOIR SHOOT COST?
There is a session fee to book your shoot ($379), which includes professional hair and makeup and 4 hours at the studio for your fun photo shoot. 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 (boudoir album, photo prints, digital download etc). We offer a 100% money back guarantee - if you're not absolutely blown away by you photos, we will refund your session fee, no questions asked.
WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING TO MY SHOOT? WHAT ABOUT WAXING, TANNING, NAILS?
Plan to bring your own wardrobe to your shoot. We also have items and props available at the studio to accessorize your outfits, including shoes in sizes 5-11. We’ll send you a detailed prep guide before your shoot with everything else you’ll need to know about getting ready.
