Rent a boudoir photo shoot location in Chicago, IL

Boudoir is a great way to see and celebrate your innate beauty and wonder. Even if it leaves you feeling vulnerable, it's an act of self-love as much as it is artistic. Whether you're looking for something classic, with deep shadow and lots of skin, or a boudoir shoot with jeans and vintage surroundings, there's a photographer here in Chicago that shares your vision and is eager to bring it to life.
The best places for vintage style boudoir photoshoots are studios set up for the genre. Former factory lofts and warehouse spaces are a common choice since renting space there is cheap. Not to mention the exposed brickwork and natural light streaming from factory windows has become a boudoir motif at this point. Add some curtains for extra shadow, carpets, antique style couches and beds, and other furniture from a bygone era, and it is super easy to create a moody vintage boudoir set.
A vintage style shoot might be captured in black and white or sepia, to preserve the flavor. Color is still a popular choice, but tones are generally subdued, rather than vibrant. That way, looking at the photographs feels like stepping into a 1920's or earlier scene.

Bridal boudoir photography is more popular than ever. It is an amazing fusion between traditional wedding photography and the body-positive celebration of boudoir. Sexy poses in a wedding dress or lingerie with lacy hints of a bridal gown are what many brides choose. Bridal boudoir is bold, fun, and never fails to bring a smile to the face of your partner. It is a celebration of yourself as much as marriage and an amazing way to see how beautiful you are through the lens of a talented photographer. So many women are shocked to see their beauty captured in such a pure way. This is true of all boudoir, including the bridal sub-genre.

Another question to ask before booking is whether the boudoir photography venue you're looking at offers props. These include items like extra outfits, couches, makeup, fantasy costumes, and more. As well as spaces to put them on like private dressing rooms, which are much more comfortable than a bathroom or quiet corner of a room. If your boudoir photoshoot has a theme, like gothic, pinup, or Christmas inspired, then try seeking out a location that caters to that niche.
