Recent Chicago boudoir review

Recent Chicago boudoir review!

As a special surprise for her husband-to-be, Ms. J signed up for a boudoir session last month.  The morning was full of shared words about her lovely husband to be, and the details on their Chicago nuptials this summer. We loved working with Ms. J!  It felt like we were photographing an old friend!  After her album arrived in the mail, we received this review of her boudoir experience.

Ms. J shares her thoughts on the experience

“My experience with Revealed Studios is one I will never forget! I decided to take boudoir photos as a wedding gift for my future husband. I knew he would love it and be very surprised! I searched to find the perfect photographers to make the experience enjoyable and to make sure I got beautiful photos we would both love forever! I definitely found two awesome ladies! Laurie is the photographer for my wedding and I already knew she was an amazing photographer and after working with Maggie, I found out how much they complement one another! They are not afraid to be goofy to help you relax in photos and at the same time very sweet and encouraging throughout the process.

Getting Ready:

They organized a wonderful hair stylist/makeup artist to make me look fabulous and gain the confidence I needed for the photo shoot! Jen was great and I absolutely LOVED my hair and makeup. Maggie and Laurie were cheering me on as I got more and more beauti-fied!

Outfits:

They were so patient with me as I brought a bag full of items including lingerie, heels, a pile of necklaces, etc. They helped me pick out the best outfits as I was a bit confused on which ones to wear. They knew which ones would look awesome and so I got dressed…

The Shoot:

Oh man, was I new at this whole thing. They were so sweet, encouraging and helpful the entire shoot. They helped pose me in the most flattering poses without making me feel silly! I felt so beautiful the entire shoot. Changing into different outfits was so much fun and brought out a new attitude with each one. There were definitely moments to laugh at and they of course laughed along with me which helped me relax. They showed me a couple of photos right off the bat so I could see how wonderful they were going to be!

The Book:
The album I received is stunning! The layout is beautiful and so are the photos! They turned out awesome! A wonderful mix between sultry, romantic, and playful (some of my favorites)!

Thank you Laurie & Maggie for helping me to feel like a strong beautiful woman right before I walk down the aisle to spend the rest of my life with my husband. I knew he would love it as a wedding present but I wasn’t expecting to love the experience so much myself!”

Boudoir beach babe! Bringing a little spice to the Philippines!

Boudoir Beach Photoshoot

On a recent trip, I (Maggie) was traveling with Jaycee Gossett of Dance the World for a project in the Philippines.  On our day off, we high tailed into the aqua marine waters that are not to be missed.  Inspired by the breath taking locations, we took the opportunity to turn our little day trip into a photoshoot.  Not only is Jaycee a top notch mover and shaker, but she is an amazing model too!  We had so much fun snapping away, especially when it came time to incorporate our favorite refresher–the coconut!  Chicagoans, here’s something to warm up the cold season!  Our lake time is just around the corner!beach boudoir photosbeach boudoir photosbeach boudoir photos

Vintage Glamour Photography with Jen

A vintage inspired glamour shoot

One of our go-to makeup artists is not only talented making our client’s camera ready, but she also can work it behind the camera!  We love Jen’s red hair (not a surprise, she’s Laurie’s doppelganger!) and stunning blue eyes.  She’s a retro throwback, channeling vintage chic in this glamour shoot.  She even brought pieces from her travels to Paris and her grandmother’s white, leather gloves! These accessories paired with her loose curls and lipstick choices made our hearts go pitter patter.

Thank you Jen for all your amazing work both on and off camera!  http://www.jenniferleejohnson.com/

Emily’s Creative Boudoir Shoot

Part two of our session of our boudoir model shoot with Emily Wolf

Isn’t it amazing how sexy a silk robe can be when it’s dropped off a shoulder or draped around the waist. In the images from Emily’s boudoir model session below, we love how the natural light reflects of the folds of the silk and mirrors the draping of her black hair. It just goes to show, in boudoir photography, the hint of what’s beneath can be just as appealing.

“I wake up like this. I wake up like this.”

We love coming up with new boudoir ideas – like this playful session

This was such a fun boudoir session. Emily Wolf came in to model.  An aspiring actress, Emily was even better to work with this time around. She transformed from girl next store to free spirited artist to geisha inspired pianist, tongue in cheek house wife to the classic vamped up vixen. Talk about dexterity. She was an inspiration to work with!  We’ll be sharing her pictures in a series of posts showcasing the different looks from the day. If you’re trying to come up with boudoir ideas, make sure to check out our other posts.

This first set of pictures celebrates how naturally beautiful stripped down, fresh faced women can be. Here is Emily, “First thing in the morning.”
