    Liz with Chicago Boudoir was AMAZING!

    Liz and her team were FANTASTIC! They made me feel so beautiful and special. She gives posing direction and helped me feel at ease the entire time. Cannot recommend enough!

    Absolutely Amazing

    I'm getting married and knew I wanted a special gift for my fiance as well as a nice memory for me to have to look back at when I am older. As I am generally never "sexy" I was afraid I would feel out of place and uncomfortable during the shoot. I thought I would look too childish in my photos but man, was I wrong. The shoot went AMAZING. Liz completely exceeded my expectations. I felt very comfortable around her and LOVED the way my photos turned out. The hardest part was narrowing down how many photos to purchase, I wanted them all. My favorite part was seeing the photos for the first time on the computer screen and being in COMPLETE SHOCK with how STUNNING I looked. I will be giving my photos to my fiance as a wedding gift. I cannot wait for him to see them. I would recommend this experience to any woman!

    Thank you so much Kaylee! I can't wait to hear what your fiance says!!! You are so beautiful, I know he's going to be floored!!

    Amazing experience

    What an excellent gift for your loved one. Liz is exceptional to work with. She makes you feel so comfortable and calm in her environment and absolutely stunning in your photos. You won’t be disappointed.

    Life changing experience

    This was the best experience I’ve even had! Liz makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera and her work is amazing. I have never felt so empowered or strong before. I have done this twice now, and I plan on doing it again.

    Chicago Boudoir Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much Jeannie! You were such a joy to shoot, you made my job easy! You're gorgeous inside and out!

    A Must Do Experience

    I had the best experience with Liz at Chicago Boudoir Photography. She was extremely communicative when scheduling the shoot, including details of what to bring and how to prepare beforehand, even where to park, etc. The day of the shoot I was nervous but excited! Her studio is easy to find and absolutely adorable, with many different settings to capture any image you have in mind. After getting my hair and makeup done, we had an absolute blast shooting. Liz tells and shows you exactly where and how to pose and then she works her magic behind the camera! I felt beautiful and empowered and I didn't want the shoot to end! One of the best parts is that she has photos ready for you before you leave THAT DAY! So after packing up my belongings, she sits down with you and shows you your gorgeous slideshow!! I don't know any other places that do that. Overall it was an incredible experience and I recommend Chicago Boudoir Photography to anyone who wants to feel and look beautiful and empowered.

    Chicago Boudoir Photography's reply:

    I absolutely LOVED having you in the studio Krysten! You super rocked your shoot!! Boyfriend is going to love these pics! xo

    Working with Liz is a dream!

    I cannot say enough good things about Liz! The experience in her studio is fun and luxurious from start to finish. She works with you as you prep to make sure she knows how to tailor your session to get the exact sort of look and feel you want from your photos. Her hair and makeup professional knows exactly how to make quick work of making you look like your most stunning version of you. Usually, I am so picky about professional hair and makeup, and this was the easiest experience ever--just trust her! Liz leaves the guesswork out as to how to style you and pose to get beautiful photo after beautiful photo. She takes all inspo photos and ideas into consideration and executes them perfectly. I had the most fun through the entire shoot with her sweet, fun, and empowering energy. You can truly tell she loves what she does! I felt like I was being photographed by a best girlfriend, who gave compliment after sincere compliment, making me glow and truly wonder if maybe I was the most gorgeous thing on the planet. I never wanted the session to end! However, the best part was the photo reveal. My jaw practically hit the floor. I never knew I could look that stunning, sexy, and perfect! I am not someone who "does" sexy, but she made me look like I do every time! The hardest part was narrowing my selection from ~200 to my favorites to gift my fiancé with for our wedding. He absolutely loved them!!! I cannot wait to find an opportunity to go back. If you're on the fence, please go! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Liz!!!! Ps - I got him more for our first married Valentine’s Day and it is safe to say I have a very happy husband! 💕

    Colleen, thank you so much! I really enjoyed your shoot and you were so fun to get to know. I'm glad I got a chance to shoot you! I'm glad we can stay in touch!

    The Best Confidence Booster

    I had an incredible experience at Chicago Boudoir. Liz is amazing and so talented. At the time of m appointment, I was experiencing one of the most difficult times in my life. I almost canceled the appointment but I am so glad I didn't. Working with Liz for a boudoir photo shoot was exactly what I needed to deal with all the pain and grief I was experiencing.

    Liz immediately made me feel welcome and relaxed giving me a brief tour of her space (which is quaint and lovely) and overview of the shoot before the hair and makeup artist arrived. Liz actually works with one of my absolute favorite makeup artists in the Chicago area, Kate Johnson, so I was super excited to get to see her and work with her. I trust her with m hair and makeup and have worked with her before so this was an extra bonus for me.

    During the shoot, Liz was such a great director. I've never really been in front of the camera and felt clueless. Thankfully, Liz gives the best directions, modeled poses for me, and totally made me feel gorgeous and empowered. I really had a lot of fun throughout the entire shoot and couldn't wait to see the photos.

    Liz already had all of the images for me to view shortly after we finished shooting and was in such awe of her work. I literally had to do a double take on several images because I couldn't believe they were actually of me. I truly loved them. She also offers some really great products for purchase to easily share your images that are of the highest quality. They make a truly great keepsake.

    Liz was just as quick sending me the digital files of all the images that I could easily download to my personal computer to keep forever. I can't express enough how wonderful of an experience the Chicago Boudoir photo shoot was for me. I think every woman should experience a beautiful boudoir shoot at least once in her life. It's so self-empowering, especially when you have someone like Liz directing everything.

    I will always remember my day at Chicago Boudoir and love that I have the images to use forever. I cannot wait to gift some of the images to my live-in boyfriend. I know he is going to be so surprised and love them so much. I'm actually having one of my favorite images put on a mug that you can only see when you pour hot liquid into it.... It is black with a heart shaped handle. Once you pour hot liquid into the mug, it turns white and the image appears with the quote, "Some like it hot!" He is going to LOVE it and drinking tea will never be the same. Ha!

    If you're looking for a unique gift for your wife or girlfriend, you have a friend or sister who could really use a good self-esteem boost, or you want to do something nice for yourself, there is nothing better than a personalized shoot at Chicago Boudoir. Book NOW!!!!

    Thank you so much! It was amazing to have you in the studio - even though it was such a hard time for you, I am so glad that you came in. Your photos are stunning, girl! xo

    Learning to Love Yourself!

    Dreams came true for me! I've always wanted to do a pin up/boudoir photo shoot and I finally got to do one with Liz! We had an absolute blast and I felt so safe in her hands. Not only will your significant other love the images, you will love them too! And bonus, you get the unforgettable memory of creating these with Liz. I have never felt so sexy and beautiful and I want everyone to have the same experience I had! I hope to get to do this again and cannot wait to see my final edited photos!

    Chicago Boudoir Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words! I absolutely loved having you in the studio - your retro outfit was so much fun!! I'm sure I'll see you back in the studio again soon! xo

    Great Boudoir photographer! Highly recommend!

    I can't speak more highly of Liz at Chicago Boudoir. From our first communications she was highly responsive and professional. The day of the shoot she was even better! She was so warm and inviting, the perfect person you want behind the camera of such an intimate shoot. She was uplifting (she was my cheerleader the whole way through) and gave great direction on how to pose. We spent about an hour shooting two different outfits. Afterwards we looked at the preliminary photos, WHICH WERE STUNNING. Her print products looked great, and for a reasonable price relative to the market. I ordered an album which will go into production soon. Truly an incredible experience. So empowering and a really fun time! Highly encourage doing a boudoir shoot, and especially one with Liz!

    Thank you for your kind words! I absolutely loved having you in the studio. Your fiance is going to have a heart attack when he sees your peek-a-boo album!! xo

    Absolutely amazing, empowering and beyond fun

    Absolutely amazing! Boudoir pics were on my bucket list and Liz made it an unforgettable experience. I’m thrilled with the stunning images she captured (the pics are SO great, they made me blush) and the experience was incredible too. Her chill yet totally supportive and directed suggestions for poses and expressions were incredible. I had no idea what I was doing and Liz made it fantastically fun. I want to send every woman I know here just to walk out with the on-top-of-the-world feeling I did after a few hours in her totally gorgeous studio. Thanks, Liz!!!!

    Chicago Boudoir Photography's reply:

    Yay! I'm so glad that you did something on your bucket list.! I love the photos that you picked for your book - gorgeous. xo Liz

    If you are looking to create stunning, beautiful, sexy pictures for your fiancé this is where you want to do it at! My session with Liz was amazing. She knew exactly what would look good with the outfits and props that she had in her studio. I have to say that she made me feel like a super model and I know that my fiancé is going to go nuts when he sees what the pictures look like. Liz and her makeup artist Kate Johnson made me feel like a super model and I loved everything about working with them both. This is going to be the best wedding gift EVER!! Thanks Liz for your expertise and loving demeanor that made my photo shoot the best ever.

    Chicago Boudoir Photography's reply:

    Teresa, thank you so much for your kind words! It was amazing it have you in the studio - you are one gorgeous lady! All the best, Liz

    I’ve always wondered what it would be like to be the beautiful girl in the pictures but I never dreamed I would be one! Liz made me feel beyond beautiful. From the first encounter over the phone she was awesome and the moment I walked in her studio it was all about me. I was a super model for a day! I don’t think of myself as being very photogenic but she made it so easy. I walked in nervous with a bit of excitement, I walked out confident and fierce! I felt so empowered. I can’t wait to see my photos, I know they turned out great. I think everyone woman should have this experience at least once because who doesn’t like to feel beautiful! I will definitely be back.

    My experience with Chicago Boudoir Photography was exceptional and unforgettable! Truly...I have never felt so beautiful. I was nervous at first but Liz put me at ease immediately. Liz is friendly and easy to talk to. We had so much fun together. She brought out the best in me!

    I don't think I would have received such a fabulous, empowering experience with anyone else. Liz really helped me with how to appear in front of the camera and would occasionally show me photos from the camera to ensure everything was looking great. I really appreciated that!

    Another part of my amazing experience...it was all very personable. From the moment I walked through the door, I didn't feel like I was just another client for Liz. She was genuinely excited for my whole experience. I highly recommend Chicago Boudoir Photography for the most extraordinary experience...it will change the way you feel and look at yourself! Thanks Liz!

    I had an amazing experience doing my first ever boudoir shoot with Liz. As I arrived she greeted me warmly and made feel completely at ease. She lead me to the gorgeous dressing/makeup room where she had copious beautiful snacks, excellent music going, and super fun accessories for me to chose from. We then pulled out my lingerie and she gave great input and feedback regarding my choices, helping me create a session based on my desired aesthetic with varied looks. Her studio space is beautiful, private, chic, and super versatile. She had gorgeous lighting that was incredibly flattering and multiple bed/chair/window combinations to create the perfect shot. She was an excellent coach letting me know exactly how to place my body to capture its most flattering angle, and was always super encouraging. Liz is a true professional and helped me overcome all my fears and inhibitions! As a mom of two with many imperfections, I felt totally empowered, gorgeous, strong, and fabulous (the awesome hair and makeup also really helped with my confidence and looked amazing)! Don’t hesitate to invest in such a wonderful experience—Liz is the best!

    I had an amazing experience with Liz and the whole team for my boudoir photos. Even though I already married I decided I wanted to do this after I got the courage seeing other friends work with Liz. It was so comfortable and the pictures came out amazing even though I was nervous. So glad I chose them for this photo shoot and I’m thrilled with the images.

    If you're even thinking about a boudoir shoot, CHOOSE THIS ONE!

    I had always debated doing a boudoir photo shoot, but just did not have the chance prior to my wedding. When I heard about Liz and Chicago Boudoir, I jumped at the chance! The whole experience was wonderful. I have never been the sort of person who feels comfortable in front of a camera or who would ever get labeled "sexy", but Liz made the entire experience amazing. All of my pictures turned out perfect and oh-so-classy. I would HIGHLY recommend Chicago Boudoir to anyone thinking about a shoot- you won't regret it!

    A fun, sexy way to celebrate my birthday!

    I've wanted boudoir photos and since a milestone birthday was coming up (35), and Liz offered a promotion, I jumped on the opportunity. It was so much fun! I hadn't done boudoir photos before but Liz gave great direction. There's space, props, and various looks at the studio. I got so many beautiful shots out of the session. I've been recommending Chicago Boudoir to any friends who're considering boudoir photos. Treat yourself! And maybe your partner too :)

    Great experience!

    Liz was great to work with. She made me feel comfortable, pretty, and at ease. The photos turned out wonderfully. I thought the studio was pretty cute and comfortable as well. She is a great photographer and very willing to work with you depending on your circumstances financially as well.
