What is a Boudoir Photoshoot for Women Over 50?
The truth is, many women miss out on the opportunity of a lifetime because they fear that they are “too old” for a boudoir photoshoot. In reality, we’ve found that women over 40 can get as much out of a boudoir session as a younger woman—or perhaps even more!
Boudoir for women over 50 is all about embracing your life experience, your confidence, and your sensuality. Many women worry they’re “too old” for a boudoir session—but the truth is, this is often the best time to experience it. With years of self-awareness, confidence, and freedom, women in their 50s are often more open, creative, and daring in front of the camera.

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