Meet Liz Hansen, headshot, owner and photographer of Chicago Boudoir Photography

The Owner

Hi, I’m Liz — owner, photographer, hype woman, and your biggest cheerleader here at the Chicago Boudoir Photography studio.

Since 2011, I’ve been on a mission to help women see themselves the way the world already does: powerful, beautiful, and worthy. I believe boudoir is for every body, and while these portraits make incredible gifts, this experience is truly for you.

I’ve lived and worked in the Chicago area for the past 13 years. I currently live in Evanston, IL with my husband and two teenage daughters.


The Photography Team

Our team of photographers are experts in boudoir posing, lighting, and photographing women in the most flattering, confidence-boosting way possible.

We understand that most women have never done a professional photoshoot before, and that’s exactly why we guide you through everything! From posing direction to natural expression coaching, we make sure you feel relaxed, confident, and fully supported so you can enjoy your photoshoot from start to finish.


The Beauty Team

Our professional beauty team specializes in camera-ready hair and makeup that enhances your natural features while still feeling like you.

They’re experts at creating looks for every skin tone and skin type to photograph beautifully under studio lighting. Whether you prefer soft glam, full glam, or something effortlessly natural, you will not only look incredible, but you’ll also feel pampered, relaxed, and ready to step in front of the camera with confidence!


The Client Experience Team

From your first inquiry to your final images, our client experience team is here to support you every step of the way.

During your initial phone consultation, our team helps answer all your questions, walk you through preparation tips, and guide you through pricing so you feel fully ready and confident for your session day.

After your shoot, we continue to be available for any questions or guidance, making sure you feel completely supported throughout the entire experience. Think of us as your personal guides, making the process simple, exciting, and stress-free so you can focus on enjoying your boudoir journey!


At Chicago Boudoir Photography, our mission is simple: to empower women to feel confident, celebrated, and unapologetically themselves. Every photoshoot is designed to inspire self-love, confidence, and a sense of freedom in your own skin.

We can’t wait to meet you, hear your story, and guide you through an experience that’s all about you. From your first hello to your final images, our goal is to make you feel supported, inspired, and proud of the woman you see in the mirror.
