Belle Boudoir Fine Line and Photography, Chicago

When clients show up at Belle Boudoir Fine Lingerie and Photography for their boudoir photo shoot, they might be nervous, but they're quickly swept up in such a whirlwind of activity that they don't have time to think about their nerves. They first visit the mobile lingerie boutique, where a lingerie specialist helps them find the perfect figure-flattering outfit. Various props, which may include angel wings, hair fascinators, and boas, complete looks.

Clients then relax in the makeup chair while a makeup artist smokies up eyes and reddens pouts. Once clients are all glammed up, the photographer snaps shots of them during private photo shoots. An onsite photo lab allows clients to see the photos right after the shoot and take home any prints that same day.
