Our Most Popular Boudoir Products You Just Can’t Resist

By Maggie Rife Ponce

These Must-have Boudoir Products are Sooo Swoonworthy

Fine Art Boudoir Products

We get asked again and again what our most popular boudoir products are when it comes to showing off those sexy, seductive photos. As a boutique boudoir and glamour portrait studio, we want to give our clients only the best.  These three products aim to please, making them our top sellers:

PREMIUM FINE ART ALBUM

Our #1 selling boudoir product is our premium fine art album.  This 10″ x 10″, 20-page album includes up to 32 of your favorite flirty pictures arranged in a custom-design for a magazine like feel. It’s the perfect way to see the experience of your session. Images are often paired together in sequences and new surprises await with the flip of a page. There are four main features we love about this album:

  • It Lays Flat: Unlike a typical book or magazine that curves in the middle, when you open a page, any page, the album will lay flat, displaying your images without any awkward distortion from folding paper.
  • The Matte Board Pages: Our printer using the best fuji printer paper out there to achieve gorgeous color and tones for your images.  What stands out about the premium album is that after each spread is printed, it is then adhered to a thick matte board.  This gives it a sturdy feel and peace of mind that you’ll have this product without any dog ears or page bends for years to come.
  • The Folded Divide: This is by far our favorite feature of the premium fine art album. Rather than having a split in the middle of the pages, this version instead has a simple subtle fold, allowing us the chance to design with one big, beautiful image stretching across two pages. Talk about a piece de triumph.
  • Custom Cover Choice: You get to choose your own cover, from a variety of silk fabrics to four different vegan leather options. Your selection can reflect your taste and style be it traditional, bold, or romantic.

While this is our most popular boudoir product, we also offer it for our portrait and maternity sessions as well.

STANDARD FINE ART ALBUM

Love the idea of an album but not ready to take the plunge on the premium version?  No problem! A similar choice is our standard fine art album.  It’s also 10″ x 10″, 20 pages, and custom designed with up to 32 images. The difference between the two versions is with the standard album, the pages are thinner, unmounted, and divided by a split in the middle.

Fine Art Boudoir Products

ULTRA SEXY IMAGE BOXES

As one recent client said, this boudoir product is all about the “slow drip.”   Images boxes are perfect for those who want to parse out their gift giving, offering little teasers from their boudoir session.  Talk about patience!  We can imagine this will drive the receiver crazy in just the right way.  More about this product:

  • Loose Prints: Comes with 10 5 x 7″ or 20 4 x 6″ prints nestled inside this beautiful, intimate image box. This is a great option for those who want to do the “slow drip release” or frame prints.
  • Pick Your Cover: Choose your favorite color of silk or vegan leather.

FINE ART PRINTS

Really make a statement with gallery display or custom-framed enlargement for your home. If you’re nervous about displaying your images, during our private review consultations for choosing your boudoir products, we walk you through exactly which pictures work best as wall art (often anonymous detail shots). We’ll also advise where your pictures are best showcased, be it the bedroom, bathroom, walk-in closet, or even living room (see below for inspiration).

How a Real Client Nailed a Smoldering Boudoir Session [Photos]

By Maggie Rife Ponce

Ok, stop it.  Real Client MS. K looks beyond gorgeous in her smoldering boudoir session.  From start to finish, she’s absolutely breathtaking. So how did she achieve this naturally sexy feel without looking like she was trying to hard?

SHE LIVED IN THE MOMENT

What makes Ms. K’s photos so stunning (beyond her beauty) is how she allowed herself to let go and really embrace the moment.  It’s one thing to look super smokin’ in a perfectly posed picture, but the magic really happens when you step away from your left brain thinking and embrace what the shoot is all about–feeling sexy and confident.

BE PROUD OF THE SKIN YOUR IN

But how?  I know some of you might be thinking, “easier said then done, Maggie.”  Well, I’m here to help. Like a dance or yoga instructor, I love to help guide clients to that place.  Seriously, I get so much joy when I sense that shift happen during a shoot. When someone goes from thinking, thinking, thinking, to just moving.

IT’S PART PLAY, PART FANTASY, AND SO MUCH FUNSmoldering Boudoir Session

The most important thing to remember is you’re in good hands.  No one wants you to look better in your pictures than my team at Revealed. We take soooo much pride in the final product. We want you to walk away with a surplus of sass–thinking, “I’ve never looked better.”

It begins with our incredible makeup artists, all of whom are rockstars (you can check them out here). We also pay special attention to the tone set from the moment you walk through the door. We want you to feel like you’re hanging out with friend’s for the day in a space where you feel encouraged to express yourself. We’re your coaches, offering feedback to to help you look your best. When in doubt, I’ll even do the moves right along with you. Before you know it, you’re not straining to do a pose, but rather channeling your own Sasha Fierce and moving like a model.Smoldering Boudoir Session

So yes, boudoir is about getting jaw-droppingly beautiful pictures, but it’s also about the experience. It’s about having fun, enjoying the moment, even tapping into your sensual side.  We won’t judge, promise!  In fact, we’ll we’ll cheer you on, “work it!” Smoldering Boudoir Session

Real Women of Revealed Feature: Freedom After a Controlling Relationship

By Maggie Rife Ponce

THE DECISION TO LEAVE WAS A HARD ONE, BUT HEALTHY ONE

In our latest feature for our Real Women of Revealed Series, Courtney S. shares how walking away from her marriage was one of the hardest things she’s ever done, but also the healthiest, leading to freedom after a controlling relationship.


The first thing you notice about Courtney is her vibrant red hair, followed closely by her raspy, unbridled laugh. Spend just ten minutes with her, and you’ll feel like you’re old friends. She is uninhibited, spunky, and the perfect amount of inappropriate. chicago beauty photos (6)

It’s hard to picture, but less than two years ago, this ball of fire felt trapped in an unhealthy relationship, yearning to get out.

Back then she was like a faded version of herself, self-conscious of every action, filtering what she said and how she moved for fear of critique from her husband. 

When I finally stepped outside of it, I realized, this is not me and I’m becoming a part of something that I don’t believe in.

Her breaking point came when during a trip they took with friends, someone asked,  ‘how can you be with someone so verbally and mentally abusive?”

chicago-portrait-photography-_0012At the time, so used to living with her every move questioned, hearing an outsider make note of his controlling behavior struck like an ember to her skin.

I thought, “Oh my God, other people know? I’m not the one creating these problems, the anger, the unpleasantness. And then when I finally stepped outside of it, I realized this is not me. I’m becoming part of something I don’t believe in.”

chicago-portrait-photography-_0013
Courtney says, it’s like this experience, “When you see yourself from a different view. I didn’t even realize what had happened in that relationship until other people had said them to me.” 

“I was going to be 30 and in my head, I kept saying, I’m not going to be 30 and still doing this. I can’t. Thirty is going to be for me. I can’t let this person run my life and tell me what I’m gonna be.”

HOW SHE SURVIVED THE DIVORCE

When Courtney told her husband she was leaving, she said she felt relief and a sense of freedom. Still, there were days she was weepy and emotional, and others where she thought she could climb a mountain. It was a roller coaster of emotions. All of a sudden she was on her own again.  She felt fear about the unknown, but when it came down to it, she knew she’d figure it out. “You have to.”

THE AFTERMATH

Over the last year and a half, she slowly reconnected with herself.  While with her ex-husband, they lived in a dark, garden apartment that felt like a dungeon to her. Now she has a third floor unit with lots of windows.  “I’m obsessed with light. [The lack of light] is very signifying of our relationship.”

After feeling like everything was held over her, being able to say, “this is me ,” was a significant change. “My whole wall was all Ani Difranco posters and the girliest shi*t I could have.”

chicago beauty photos (18)She did a lot of journaling and focused on letting go of the guilt she carried with her after leaving.

My mom said, I never realized how unhappy you were until I saw how happy you are now.

Slowly but eventually, the vibrant Courtney you see in these pictures began to take shape. She came to realize “that I’m a lot stronger than I thought I was. Just to be myself is freeing in a lot of ways. I’m going to be sensitive, I’m going to cry, and that’s ok. It’s very freeing to just be able to be you.”
 chicago-portrait-photography-_0015

For any other woman struggling in an unhealthy relationship, Courtney says the best thing you can do is “go with your gut. If it’s telling you something’s not right, there’s a reason.  The other side of your brain might be saying ‘no, it’s ok…’ and sometimes things are good on paper, but if you’re feeling it, there’s a reason.”


She knows other women might feel like they’re letting themselves or other people down by leaving, but “They’re gonna love you no matter what you do.”

When asked what the experience of being photographed was like, “it’s symbolic that you start fully clothed, and slowly you take off a little more and become a little more comfortable. You shed a little of your outer shell, protective barrier and by the end you feel like you.”

We’re so happy to feature Courtney as 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.

 

Surprise, I’m pregnant! 36 weeks pregnant!

By Maggie Rife Ponce

Revealed Studios’ Owner on Pregnancy Photos and more…

I’ve kept this pretty under wraps on the blog till now, but with four weeks left, I thought it was time to share the news. I’m pregnant 🙂 Here’s a little more about my pregnancy journey and the changes to come.

Revealed Studios Maternity Photography

Thoughts on pregnancy

Sigh, where to begin…pregnancy is an easy thing to feel consumed by. For nine months, your daily routines are rearranged. You’re suddenly eating, sleeping, and moving differently as you serve as a vessel for a whole other being. It’s a wild and, at times, challenging experience. You find yourself repeating to yourself, “it’s worth it,” each time you get an elbow to your rib or a sneeze that makes you tinkle. It’s not that bad (really, it’s not), but there are definitely times when you want to take a time out. Sometimes I catch myself fantasizing about being able to just unstrap my belly and instantly go back to normal.

Documenting this moment with pregnancy photos

Earlier this month, when I was feeling the most spent, I asked our amazing studio manager and dear friend Kelly to snap some pictures for me.  While Kel is a rock star studio manager, shooting on a professional camera is new to her. I had full faith that I could set her up with my gear to snap a few images to have as keepsakes.  She blew me away!  I ended up with waaaay more pictures than I imagined (looks like someone on her way to associate shooter ;)).

Revealed Studios Maternity PhotographyThis spontaneous maternity session was a wonderful reprieve from the sense of challenge I was feeling. It was a perfect reminder how powerful your perspective can be.  The session helped me to shift my focus, to relish in the magical transformation that was happening.  It was a chance to celebrate this time in my life and recognize the purpose behind the discomfort.
It’s silly, considering I see the power of photography on a regular basis with our clients, but I was moved more than I expected. I felt proud looking at the transformation in my body, wider-growing hips and all.  I’m so happy I asked Kel to take these pictures for me, and now feel like I understand even more how therapeutic a great photo shoot can be.

How this all illuminated my understanding for our work

This experience only further confirms my deep love and passion for what we do at Revealed.  Whether it’s boudoir or beauty portraiture, I feel like I’m living my fullest truth when helping women feel more comfortable in their own skin.  I’ve learned so much through this pregnancy.  I won’t share it all now (I’ve already written a novel), but one thing my amazing doula has taught me about is the shame that too many women feel about their birth stories, whether self-inflicted or as a result of other people’s words.  We’ve talked a lot these last five weeks about how hard we women can be on each other and ourselves.  My deepest wish is for Revealed to be a sacred place for women to feel comfortable and encouraged.

On leave for a bit…

In February I’ll be stepping away from shooting to prep for labor, then (God-willing!) welcome our little guy home.  But fear not!  Studio operations will continue while I’m out.  Kelly will be the point-person for Revealed.  Like I said earlier, she’s a total rock star and will take good care of all clients.  I’m sooooo lucky to have an incredibly talented and lovely sister-in-law Maria Ponce who will be shooting in my stead, as well as the wonderful Elizabeth Nord. I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside both women, and can say with full confidence that they’ll take amazing care of anyone they’re shooting, both through their talent and personalities.

If you’re thinking of booking a session, please check out their work: Maria Ponce and Elizabeth Nord. 
 I’m planning to be back in action by mid-April or early May (motherhood is all new to me, so I’m staying flexible at this point).

Thank you to all our followers for their love and support.  I so appreciate your positive energy and can’t wait to introduce you all to BP (Baby Ponce as we like to call him!)


Introducing Elizabeth Nord

By Maggie Rife Ponce

Meet interim shooter, Elizabeth Nord

Starting in February, I’ll be taking a bit of a break from shooting to welcome home (God willing) our newborn son.  While off, I’m so grateful to have the lovely Elizabeth Nord filling in on shoots.
Elizabeth NordLiz is sweet as pie and a beautiful shooter.  Born and raised in Tennessee, her slight accent will charm you instantly.  Read on to learn a little more about Liz…
“I was married to my high school sweetheart in 2009 and since then we’ve moved from Jackson to Nashville to Knoxville, TN, to Gainesville, FL, and finally to Chicago, IL.  We’ve been in Chicago for a little over a year now and we’ve fell head over heels in love with this city. We feel right at home here!
I have a burning passion for photography, specifically weddings and boudoir.  I am so fortunate to follow my dreams as a full time photographer and am loving every minute of it! I am an energetic, dedicated, and creative photographer that looks at every detail to make sure you look your absolute best.  I love to laugh and have fun, so when you’re shooting with me you’ll not only leave with a smile on your face, but an amazing experience. I see beauty in every single one of you, and I can’t wait to share that through my work.
Here are some reviews from past boudoir clients:
I never thought in my entire lifetime I would ever be doing a boudoir photo shoot! One of my friends had it done last year before her wedding which had me thinking about doing it myself! After a lot of searching I found Elizabeth’s website and I’m so glad I did. I contacted her with questions about the shoot and she suggested meeting. At our meeting she covered everything I needed to know and after meeting her I was already excited about the shoot. There was never a time in the waiting period before my shoot that I couldn’t contact her and she would get right back with me. She even let me send her pictures of things I was thinking of bringing with me just to make sure it would be okay. The day of the shoot I was SO excited, but as I was having my makeup done in the hotel room the nerves set in. She assured me it would be fine and we would just have a fun day. Upon coming out of the bathroom in my first ‘outfit’ I felt very shy and awkward. However, after only one pose, she had me laughing and having fun and it was almost like I completely ‘forgot’ to be self-conscious. I have never felt as comfortable in front of the camera as I did with her. She was always sure to ask me if it was okay to do a pose this way or that way, just to make sure I was comfortable. She also made sure there wasn’t anything else I wanted to do before we ended the shoot. She showed me one image on her camera screen before we left and although it was not edited yet in any way, I already couldn’t believe that was me. Now that I have seen my photos, my self-confidence has shot up. I never, ever, ever knew I was that beautiful. If you are contemplating doing these photos, I highly suggest using Elizabeth. You will not regret it. Thank you Liz for everything you have done! You are absolutely wonderful!  – Brittany
 
It’s hard to find the words to describe how wonderful my boudoir session was. I was no nervous, scared, intimidated by the thought (at 54 years old it comes with the territory!) and you took all that away! I have never felt more beautiful! I am so thankful I had the session with you and want to encourage all women to have one! I never realized how much I needed the encouragement about myself, and I walked away feeling gorgeous! I’m so excited about surprising my husband with the beautiful album of your art work (made of his wife)! Liz is gifted beyond words, not only as a photographer, but in making someone feel comfortable and beautiful. Thank you again for such an amazing experience!   -Jillian

The Secret to Removing False Eyelashes

By Maggie Rife Ponce

The Trick to Removing False Eyelashes

One of the best things about a boudoir shoot is the makeover at the beginning of their sessions. Hello transformation! With a glass of champagne, your favorite playlist, and some of the best makeup artists in Chicago on the scene, what’s not to love? But at the end of the day, taking off all that makeup, especially removing false eyelashes, can be a bit tricky. Don’t worry though, we’ve got you.

removing false eyelashes

To help with that process, look no further than this great video from makeup and beauty guru, Lisa Eldridge. She goes through a step-by-step tutorial showing how to remove false eyelashes without the tugging, rubbing, or pulling. As an added bonus, continue watching to see her full makeup removal routine. As bitter-sweet as washing away the artistry may be, her practice is a safe, gentle, and effective way to cleanse your skin.

Mother of Three Wows in Boudoir Shoot

By Maggie Rife Ponce

Mom Photos, Mother of Three Wows in Boudoir Shoot

Tanya has been part of the Revealed Team for a few years now, but I still catch myself saying to her every now and then, “I can’t believe you’re a mother of three!”

It’s true though. When this petite lady is not busy transforming clients with her makeup skills, she’s home schooling her kiddos.

After years of watching others go through their boudoir experiences, Tanya finally decided it was time for her own.  Her husband, Angel, loved the idea and the morning of the shoot sent her off with words of encouragement, reminding her how beautiful and special he thinks she is.

Tanya always gives so much of herself, whether it’s to our clients, her family, or her friendships.  She is a gentle and giving spirit. I loved the opportunity to create some artistic boudoir photos celebrating this special lady.

Celebrate all that you’ve achieved and enjoy a little pampering along the way.

If you’re a mom like Tanya and feel a bit disconnected with yourself, a boudoir shoot is a great way to find your confidence again.  From the start (hair and makeup) to the finish (seeing the final pictures) the process is all about you.  It’s like a month of therapy wrapped into one day–often clients come in with insecurities, fear, and nerves, and leave feeling reconnected to their sexy, empowered self.

Our first makeup class “Natural Glow,” was a huge hit.  I’m around our makeup artists every week during shoots, and even I learned so many new tricks!  Having direct access to the artists and a clear step-by-step process to follow was so helpful.

One-on-one teaching to help you master the techniques.

The best thing about this intimate class is having direct access to the experts. Our instructors will not only demonstrate the techniques live in front of the audience, but will happily answer all your questions too.

Find Your Courage to Be Yourself, Flaws and All

By Maggie Rife Ponce

Last week we posted a series of fine art nude photos from Real Woman of Revealed, Sherhara’s early morning shoot along Lake Michigan.  This week, we’re featuring her again along with her second set of images from the morning.

Finding Confidence Within

Sherhara is a great example of a Real Woman of Revealed because her confidence comes from much more than her outward beauty. She is a motivational speaker, host, and philanthropist–helping individuals and brands recognize and communicate their message.  Her success in this work comes from her own ability to be truthful with herself. When asked about this work, she said, “be honest with yourself, about who you are… your flaws, vices, weaknesses, challenges, imperfections, and mess ups. It’s easy to be honest about your strengths and positive attributes, but you’ll liberate yourself by having the courage to be your full self–flaws and all.”

 

We did a post-shoot interview with Sherhara to find out what it was like to strip down for the camera, and much more.

 

1. Describe the day of shoot in your own words:

The shoot was peaceful! Yet I knew something awesome was happening. I felt valued from the beginning to the end. Time went by quickly, but it’s probably because I felt I was being catered to. Without the photos I felt beautiful.

Chicago-fine-art-photography-06

2. What do you attribute to your confidence in not only modeling for these images but also sharing them?

Everyone has titties!! I’m not showing anything that someone hasn’t gotten up in the morning and seen for themselves! Whether those boobs are someone else’s or their own. I’m not bashful about my body because everyone has one, just a different one. And the only way people can get over the taboo of being naked is to be naked. Who makes it a big deal? It’s not, if you don’t.

3. What inspired you to do this shoot?

My husband inspire me to do the shoot! He already wanted me to do some type of sexy photo shoot and it was perfect timing when I met the lovely ladies of Revealed!

4. How did you feel during and after?

I felt confident before the shoot and I felt accomplished afterwards. I was proud that I did something few have the courage to do. It’s great to know I knocked something off of my bucket list (even though it wasn’t on the list to begin with! Lol)

 

5. Any significance in your tattoos?

My tattoos are a symbol of a moment in time. I can reflect on each one and it takes me back to where I was in life. A photo album on my body instead of on my coffee table.

6. Can you talk about your dance/movement background?

I haven’t practiced dance in forever! It’s been enough time for me to say, “I’m a former dancer.” But movement comes naturally for me and the photo shoot is where I could use it again.

7. What advice do you have for our audience?

I ask that everyone challenge themselves to step outside of their comfort zone. Do something as least weekly that you wouldn’t normally have done! Surprise yourself with your own courage!


8.What lesson have you learned in your adult life that you value most?

Be honest with yourself about who you are i.e. your flaws, vices, weaknesses, challenges, imperfections, and mess ups. It’s easy to be honest about your strengths and positive attributes, but you’ll liberate yourself by having the courage to be your full self, flaws and all!

9. What advice to you have for other clients struggling with image confidence?

So many people have left this earth without truly loving and embracing themselves. Don’t be that person that dies without ever loving yourself. You have a body that’s a vessel for your life! To celebrate that vessel is to celebrate life!
