I wanted to do something special for my husband's 50th birthday. I decided to try this! First of…read moreall...I have struggled with my body image for my whole life. I have PCOS and it affects my weight(185#) and weird hair growth. I have anxiety which has caused other problems. I NEVER thought I could do something like this. Just talking to the lady to schedule the appointment was terrifying but she made me feel comfortable. Trying to walk into the building the day of the appointment was a whole other challenge. I talked myself into it and made it in through the door. I was greeted by the most kind women that assured me it would be a great expierience. One thing that helped was to know that they all had to expierience this when getting hired. They all know the feelings I was feeling that day. My make up was beautiful. I'd wear make up all the time if I could make it look like that! Then came time to take "it" all off somehow I did that, too! Once they started taking pictures it was so easy! She told me where to go, how to pose, where to put my had/arm etc etc. I couldn't believe how comfortable I was wearing nearly nothing! I ended up purchasing all of the photos at the end on a drive. Was it expensive...well yeah. They work hard! Was it worth it...100%. My husband's reaction was priceless. 1st thing he said was that he's always seen these on facebook but never thought I would do that. For his 30th birthday I had surprised him with a trip to his first michigan game and bought him an authentic jersey. I wore that jersey for part of the photo shoot. I also took a few other photos in a bralette and panties. My advise...if you ever thought this would be neat but not sure if you could then just do it!!

I was very nervous to do a boudoir photo shoot but I am so happy I did. Meg was absolutely amazing…read moreduring the whole shoot which helped me be not so nervous. I LOVED how she styled my hair and did my makeup. Cannot wait to see my photos at my viewing session!!

I first met Dmitriy 3 years ago and had some professional pictures taken...I was so…read moreimpressed...those were the best pictures I've ever had taken. Just recently I decided I needed some new pictures, little more SOPHISTICATED and SEXY...instantly I knew I had to track him...and I did. I love his studio, it's very spacious, versatile and comfortable. Even thou he is very accomplished, he is down to earth and approachable...during the photo shoot he was very open to my suggestions, listened and paid attention to details to make sure I get what I came for. When I got my proofs there were quite a few pictures to pick and choose from that I liked, I ordered 6 of my top favorites and had Dmitriy retouch those. After I got my pictures I was like : "Oh my gosh... I love them", everything looked great...he did an amazing job...as always, especially my semi-nude picture, which is black and white and I called a total "money shot" :-). Dmitriy has such a talent to look thru the lens and capture person's essence, It's absolutely his gift. Tara was also very helpful with selecting outfits, jewelry, background and making sure everything runs smooth.They are a great team. I would totally recommend Dmitriy for your Glam/Boudoir pics !!!

BOOK YOUR APPOINTMENT ITS THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO!! What…read morecan't I say about how amazing and fabulous this place is? Liz is such an amazing person to be around the moment you walk in you feel like such a star I didn't want to leave! I've never felt I so sexy before other than when I'm with my husband and the high I had from it after seeing what we did with the day it Didn't go down till a week and half later and then I was getting my pictures that brought that high right back!!! My husband can't stop looking at his gifts also and it's all he can talk about! I can wait to do another shoot again in life not just to feel so sexy again but to just have that time with Liz it's not even a thought!

I'd been thinking about doing a little self-love shoot for a while when I came across the Chicago…read moreBoudoir Studio. I wanted to do something a little outside of my comfort zone so I went ahead and booked -- I was a little nervous before hand but Liz & Rosie made me feel so at ease right away, from the moment I stepped inside the door. By the time we started shooting it felt like I was just hanging out with an old friend -- before i knew it we were looking through dozens of STUNNING photos! More important than the photos, though, was that I left feeling better about myself than I have in months and that feeling has been carrying on for days already. Truly cannot thank these ladies enough.

Highly recommend Sarah and her amazing photography skills!…read more I'm pretty comfortable in my own skin so I booked a boudoir session more out of curiosity than fear. That said, I've never done anything like this, so I brought All. The. Outfits. Sarah took over as soon as I arrived, laid everything out and asked what pieces I truly loved and what was just okay. She listened to my opinions, and suggested some of her own ideas. She was very intentional with her framing, which background was best with different outfits, etc. She was so professional and had such a great eye for what worked for me that I trusted her judgement immediately. We had a great time! I was actually more nervous about my photo reveal than about the session itself, but my worries were unfounded. The photos are gorgeous. I feel empowered when I look at them. Sarah was able to capture a variety of moods and outfits, but every photograph is still very much me. And that is a rare gift, indeed.

So impressed with Tricia, Melissa (her office manager), and the entire experience with this Studio…read more Everything is handled with professionalism, warmth, and authenticity. We were scrambling to find a photographer for our infant son. Tricia was always someone on my radar, but her location out in Geneva (we live in Chicago) always seemed prohibitive for us. As it turned out, other things fell through and I immediately messaged Tricia's studio for a session. And it was fantastic. My husband even agrees whole-heartedly - we will be heading out to Geneva for our photos from now on. Tricia's style is beautiful, she is great with babies and children, the entire process is seamless, and I love that she encourages you to print and display your photos. In fact, we are currently going through *all* of our photos trying to figure out what else we would like printed so we can create a display wall. This is exactly the inspiration we needed. Hire her. She's worth every penny and more.

I'm a 32 year-old male professional wedding photographer. Let me tell all you dudes out there how…read moreincredible newborn photography is to your new addition! Our little newborn Ella was 9 days old when I realized how important it was to photograph her in all the newborn goodness. I was always pretty judgemental about those "baby in a basket" sessions. You don't really get how unique that time in life is until you hold your own little child in your hands. I discovered you've got to photograph newborns within 14 days of their birth, otherwise it gets difficult for them to stay sleepy and stationary for a photo session. I had a minor meltdown trying to reach an incredible, well-known newborn photographer from Wisconsin. They did get a hold of me, but said I needed to come to Wisconsin with the baby for the session because of their busy schedule. They also recommended Patricia Anderson here in Chicago. I was elated to hear back from Patricia that evening. Patricia had a full schedule, but after **slightly** begging her, she fit me into her weekend schedule and we got Ella scheduled for a session at 11 days young. **AH** thank you thank you! Patricia is so easy to work with. She handles everything once you get to the studio. She took baby Ella and all we had to do was watch in amazement as the 1 hour mini session unfolded. Turn around was quick - we were able to see the photographs the same week. Man, did she deliver! And her print products are so fitting to her brand - you've got to get these photographs up on your wall! Seriously - it's the only way to go with artistic photographs that Patricia creates for you. We'll be back for every child from here on out. Thank you so much Patricia!!!
