Could these girls be any more adorable? These boudoir bachelorette party photos were inspired by the pinup girls of the 1940’s and 50’s. After a peek at the girls’ super cute high-waisted swimsuits, our hair and makeup team had all the inspiration it needed to channel Bettie Paige and Fernande Barrey. First, Anjelica Bannos added must-have winged eyeliner and red lips before handing them over to Jaycie Kurfess, who transformed their hair with big barrel curls, handkerchiefs, and flower accents.

In case you need convincing, here are our Top 10 Reasons to do a boudoir shoot
The word is out, boudoir photography is in! This style of photography, named for it’s bedroom inspired feel, is super hot right now. Many people think these pictures are taken only for a significant other, but we’re here to say otherwise! Here are our Top 10 Reasons to do a boudoir shoot (and ten reasons why boudoir is here to stay!)
1. Empowerment. Hello confidence. It’s nice to know you again. After a boudoir shoot, you’re going to feel liberated. Really, you will. It’s one helluva experience. In stepping out of your clothes, you’re stepping into your courage. What a move.
2. Feeling like a star. Get your glam and rock those pieces you wear once in a blue moon.We encourage you to embrace your inner superstar.
3. Fun. Being an adult doesn’t mean we stop loving dress up. It’s still as much fun as it was when we were kids.
4. Therapy. This space, this experience, counters all the negativity we deal with on a daily basis from ourselves and society. Boudoir is about celebrating who you are, exactly where you are at. You may not feel like it, but you are radiant. We’re here to prove it.
5. Feeling HOT. Because, you have to admit, it feels great to have your hair and makeup done professionally, while wearing your favorite pieces.
6. Having the record. You’re going to be sooooo happy you have these pictures in five, ten, heck, 50 years from now.
7. Learn new moves. Have you always admired those women who feel comfortable in their own skin? Boudoir helps you find your own swagger. You’ll learn tricks and tips–from posing better for pictures to making bedroom eyes.
8. Celebrate your milestones. Had a baby, entering a new decade, running a marathon? Boudoir is a perfect way to celebrate that transition or feat.
9. Heat things up. Adding spice in the bedroom can be intimidating. Boudoir helps you reconnect to your sensuality. At the end of your shoot, you’ll have lots of heat to take with you.
10. Its all about YOU. Women are givers. We sacrifice at work, for our families, in our relationships. This is a time when you get to receive. Be pampered. Hear how beautiful you are. Treat yourself. You deserve it.
With all our lovely clients, we start things off with a phone consultation to chat through a boudoir session. Not only does this call serve to talk through what a session entails, but it also is the first step to feeling comfortable. It can be unnerving to walk into any situation without having spoken with someone on the other end–especially boudoir. This gives our clients a chance to hear our voices and know we’re all about making people feel comfortable.
One thing we learned while talking with cutiepie, Ms. L, was that she expected to like only three or four pictures from her session. “Three or four pictures?!” we thought, “we have a feeling you’re going to be surprised.” Sure, we hadn’t met her yet, but we make it our studio mission to help each client see the best in themselves by capturing it on camera.
When it came time for her to view the take of images, instead of only liking three or four pictures, the opposite happened. She loved nearly all of them!
She was blown away. She said she never liked pictures of herself and didn’t feel photogenic. She couldn’t believe it was her in the photos.
It’s the best feeling to exceed clients expectations. When they’re happy like Ms. L, it means we’ve done it, we nailed our goal of helping them to relax and trust us. When we can come from a place of confidence and acceptance–that’s when the magic happens.
“Thank you again for an awesome experience, I wish I could do it again!!! –From Ms. L post shoot.
Known as “Aunt Sandy” to many, A Silver Lining Foundation Founder Dr. Sandy Goldberg is dedicated to providing free mammograms to women who can’t afford them.
In 2000, Dr. Sandy was told she had breast cancer and would need surgery immediately. As a contributor on nutrition for NBC Chicago, she had the unique opportunity to share her experience with thousands of viewers in what became an intimate documentation of her 14-month journey treating and–ultimately– surviving breast cancer.
During that time, she received countless calls from strangers going through a similar experience, only without the financial means to receive the same level of care. Dr. Sandy became the point person to many, offering advice and a compassionate ear to those who couldn’t afford top-of-the-line care. After one day full of these calls, she returned home and burst into tears at the disparity between others’ treatment and her own. Her husband (a straight-talker!) said “what are you going to do about it?”
Her answer: “start a foundation.” And that’s how A Silver Lining Foundation (ASLF) was born.
Dr. Sandy’s mother was an immigrant to America from Russia and each month, when it came time to pay the bills, set aside a portion for others. She always heard her mom say in Yiddish, “we’re all family. We have to help each other through the tough times.” This way of thinking stuck with Dr. Sandy and eventually became the philosophy behind ASLF.
With Mother’s Day fast approaching, we are honored to feature Dr. Sandy as a Real Woman of Revealed. Like many of our own mothers, she’s an example of someone with a fountain of beauty streaming from her heart that nourishes those around her.
This Mother’s Day, we’re celebrating Dr. Sandy and A Silver Lining Foundation by partnering with The Hue Studio to raise money for ASLF’s Buy a Mom a Mammogram® Program. Revealed will be donating 25% of all proceeds from any Mother’s Day photo shoot to this important cause. We hope this gives you another reason to pamper your mother this year with a makeover and photoshoot. You can even jump in the pictures with your mom to capture the moment together. Know your gift will help a great cause, because like Dr. Sandy believes, we’re all family.
A Silver Lining Foundation Founder Dr. Sandy Goldberg feature is part of our on-going series, Real Women of Revealed -a collection of photos and stories of inspirational women we feel exemplify beauty beyond appearance. Click here to see more from this series.
I’m Maggie Rife Ponce, owner and photographer at Revealed Studios
I was first introduced to photography as a teenager in the age of film (before it was retro) and darkrooms. I spent countless hours in high school in my basement darkroom, transfixed by the images appearing like magic before me.
After highschool, I studied photojournalism at the University of Missouri then spent a short time after pursuring my “dream” of being a world traveling documentary photographer. This experienece helped me realize my heart bleed way too much for that line of work.
Finding myself back in Chicago in 2008, I began photographing weddings and eventually boudoir. I quickly fell head over heels. While it was a big departure from my “dream,” I couldn’t deny how right it felt.
When I’m not taking pictures, you can find me in the kitchen cooking, working on a handstand, swooning over nature, reading, or hosting a get together with friends.
Sometimes the best pictures happen when you let go of control and just keep it fluid. Like below with the lovely Anna, who came into the studio to help with makeup during her friend Thalita’s model shoot, and ended up modeling right along with her. Both Anna and Thalita are natives of Brazil, where dance is a huge part of the culture. With only the slightest suggestion, Anna was moving and shaking, which lead to these fun and sexy boudoir photos below.
A lot of people ask us, “do you ever photograph men?” While our main focus at Revealed Studios is making women feel beautiful, working with men is a fun change of pace. With women, we tend to use soft lighting that flatters the figure and smoothes the texture of the skin. With men, we embrace shadows, using them to create definition and add intensity. The technical elements may be different, but the mission remains the same: to leave our client with a boost of confidence.
Chris C. called us after seeing photos from a session we did with his classmate and fellow muay thai fighter, Ida Dolce. He wanted something similar, asking for images of his self-proclaimed “geeky” side, and ones with more intensity, showing some of the actual moves he uses in training. Chris was a great sport, taking direction well and even coating himself with coconut oil and a soaking of water for some “sweaty” inspired photos. So…yes. We like working with men too. After all, doesn’t the world need a little more “dude”-oir? 😉
This type of shoot is perfect for men out there who’ve undergone a recent body transformation, completed training for a race or event, or just want to feel like a GQ model for the day. For more information about our editorial portrait sessions, contact us at info@revealed-studios.com or call 773-263-9073.
Miss A was so wonderful to work with. She was the recipient of a gift bought for her through last year’s Tickled Pink auction. For the last couple years we have been honored to contribute to Tickled Pink’s yearly fundraiser event by donating a portrait session for their silent auction. Miss A was kind enough to let us share some of her photos. We’re having some major hair envy over here, you probably will too.
We had an absolutely amazing time photographing the lovely Ms M for her bridal boudoir photoshoot. After working in the business world for most of her adult life, she is now pursuing her passion and going into health and beauty. Her inner beauty and positivity radiate in every photo as well as in person or on the phone. We wish Ms. M the best of luck in her career change, as well as her upcoming marriage!
We had such a nice time taking the beautiful and glowing Andreea’s maternity photos . We first sent her over to makeup artist Heather Massa, who happened to also be pregnant. The two immediately bonded while Heather enhanced her natural beauty.
It feels very special photographing maternity sessions, particularly for first time mothers like Andreea. The sessions can feel very intimate between mama and unborn baby, so to be invited in and allowed to document these moments is a big honor. Thank you Andreea for trusting us. We can’t wait to meet your new joy.
