Our Mission!

 

Liz Hansen TEDx Arlington Heights speaker — sharing the power of self-confidence and empowerment through boudoir photography.

Empowering Women, Inside and Out

At Chicago Boudoir Photography, our mission goes beyond capturing stunning images. Our mission is to help women feel empowered and confident through beautiful portraits.

Boudoir is more than a photoshoot; it’s a celebration of your strength, beauty, and individuality.

We believe that confidence in front of the camera translates to confidence in life, and we’re proud to support women in all areas of their journey—personally, professionally, and within their communities.


Sharing the Message on a Bigger Stage

At TEDx Arlington Heights, I had the honor of taking the stage to share a message that’s close to my heart: Nudity Doesn't Have to Be Naughty.” Through my talk, I explored how society’s views on the female body can shape self-esteem and confidence, and how boudoir photography can help women reclaim their power and embrace their bodies unapologetically.

The TEDx platform allowed me to reach women and men beyond the studio, sparking conversations about body positivity, self-love, and empowerment. It’s part of our mission to not only create transformative experiences for individual clients but to be part of a larger cultural shift—one that celebrates strength, beauty, and authenticity.

  • Hands-On Volunteering: I started volunteering weekly at the WINGS Resale Shop — sorting donations and helping put things out on the floor for shoppers. It’s such a small thing to support the full mission and services of WINGS Program, Inc., but it feels good to support a cause that matters!
