The best groom’s gift idea. He’ll thank you always.
Take his breath away with the best groom’s gift idea yet. You, wrapped in a present that he’ll never get tired of opening. By the time he reaches the last page, he’ll be eager to return to the first. Just like a magazine spread, a boudoir album includes a collection of your favorite images ranging from high fashion, silly and fun, and even va va voom vixen. It’s all a chance to express your many sides and celebrate your individuality.
Real client, Ms. J’s husband LOVED his album. He told his wife, “He could not have been happier with the pictures. He wishes he could show it to all his friends, but that probably wouldn’t be appropriate.”
Looking for a smokin’ hot boudoir session, but not sure where to go? We’re happy to not only serve Chicago, but also the surrounding suburbs. Ms. N drove into the city for her session. You have to see the results!
When Ms. N arrived to her boudoir shoot, she was nervous and shy. She didn’t think of herself as a “sexy,” but just cute. It just goes to show that even the most stunning person can have insecurities.
What she didn’t see in herself, we saw the minute she walked through the door. We knew with a little coaxing, this natural beauty, could come out of her shell. That’s the thing, sexy isn’t the clothes you wear or the way you do your makeup. It’s the way your wear the clothes. The way you feel in your own skin.
We’re absolutely in love with Ms. S’s fine art boudoir photography shoot. We had a short chat beforehand, to coach her on how to shine on camera. Within minutes, her nerves slipped away and she let herself really enjoy the session. Her gorgeous look, reminiscent of Sophia Loren, was incredibly inspiring.
We hear letting go is one of the most rewarding elements of a boudoir photography session. It’s a chance to connect with your sensual side. Breathtaking images are not exclusive to superstars. They are within reach to all women through boudoir.
Our 10″ x 10″, 20-page, fine art album includes up to 32 retouched files. Images are custom designed into editorial-like spreads, which are then professionally printed and adhered to matte board for longevity. Finally the album is covered in your choice of fine silk or vegan leather. This is our most popular boudoir product but also perfect for any editorial style portrait session.
STANDARD FINE ART ALBUM
Similar to the premium album, this 10″ x 10″ fine art album is also custom designed with up to 32 images. Pages are thinner, unmounted, and divided by a split in the middle.
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.
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.
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!

Tips for Keeping new year’s fitness resolutions by Revealed Studios
The start of a new year often means the making of a resolution. But for many, even those with the best intentions find themselves derailed. Personally I have had years when I’ve headed out to the gym with images of Jillian Michels cheering me on, and within one week, fizzled. So to aid you on your way, we’ve come up with helping tips for keeping New Year’s fitness resolutions.
I think the solution lies in incentive. I need a tangible reward to keep myself motivated. When instant gratification is staring at me in the form of a maple glazed doughnut, there’s no way I’m sticking to some super strict, gluten-free, paleo diet.
If you’ve recently made a resolution, we’re here to help! We think a boudoir shoot is the perfect reward to keep you motivated. We hear clients say all the time that sessions are empowering and liberating, like an instant boost of confidence. Not only are you pampering yourself to a day of hair, makeup, and fun, but you’ll have amazing pictures showing the fruit of your labor.
That’s the thing about resolutions. So often, by the time a year has passed, we can’t even recall what it was we planned to change. After your session, there’s no way you’ll forget!
