If you’re dreaming of a Chicago boudoir photos that feel like they were plucked from the pages of a Parisian fashion editorial—Amélie Boudoir Studio is the place for you. May I suggest taking a peek inside the French Boudoir Studio at Amélie Boudoir in Bloomingdale, IL. Nestled discreetly just outside Schaumburg, Amélie Boudoir isn’t just a studio. It’s an intimate, luxurious escape that’s been lovingly designed for the modern romantic. Below, I’m sharing what makes my studio so special for Chicago brides and what to know if you're planning a boudoir session.

Why do I love working at my private studio?

Because it feels like stepping into a hidden part of yourself—the part that’s magnetic, confident, and a little rebellious in the best way. I created Amélie Boudoir Studio to reflect my love of vintage glamour and Parisian artistry, but also to offer women something they rarely give themselves: space to feel fully seen and celebrated.

This isn’t a generic warehouse space or a cookie-cutter setup with props you’ve seen a million times. It’s a thoughtfully designed, softly lit studio filled with yummy textures and Parisian-style touches. I shoot here because it allows me to focus 100% on the client’s comfort and creativity. No distractions. Just art, connection, and a little champagne when the situation calls.

What’s special about boudoir sessions at Amélie Boudoir?

What sets Amélie Boudoir apart is not just the styling—it’s the emotional experience. You won’t be rushed, judged, or posed like everyone else. No dated backdrops, awkward posing, or dated over-editing. We take our time. We laugh. We hype you up. Sometimes we cry (the good kind). It’s a space that feels safe but still luxe, editorial but still playful.

I’ve built every set, sourced every accessory, and curated every detail around one question: “Would my bride love this?” That’s why you’ll find chiffon robes, vintage detailing, and exquisite lingerie.

The lighting is intentionally soft and natural, which flatters skin tones and brings out that subtle, glowing confidence that no filter can replicate.

What type of Chicago bride will love Amélie Boudoir studio?

The bride who wants something more than a gift for her partner. The one who’s deeply romantic, a vintage lover, but loves a modern touch. She appreciates detail. She’s probably Pinteresting vintage Dior. She might describe her wedding vibe as “intimate garden fête” or “classic with a twist.”

Most of my clients are women getting married throughout Suburban Chicago—think Geneva, Wheaton, or Naperville—but I also work with city brides who want a calmer, more private setting for their session. They value intentionality, not just Instagram likes. They value the vibe I deliver.

My French apartment studio and taste level is reserved for brides who want their boudoir book (Read Magazine) to feel like a keepsake, not a checklist.

Any tips for boudoir sessions at this Suburban Chicago studio?

Yes—bring something personal. One of my favorite recent shoots involved a bride who brought her fiancé’s vintage leather jacket and paired it with thigh-highs and a red lip. That combo of softness and edge? Pure magic. I also ask my clients to bring in their wedding day perfume when they can for that extra personal touch.

Here are a few more tips:

Book your session at least 3 to 6 months before your wedding to allow for editing, album creation, and to make sure there is space on the calendar.
Don’t skip hair and makeup. It’s not about looking “done up,” it’s about feeling your absolute best.
Try on your outfits at home and take selfies in different lighting to see how they photograph.
Come hungry for fun—not perfection. I’ll guide you through everything, and the best shots are usually the ones you didn’t expect.

Have you transformed this studio in different ways?

Every shoot here is different. I’ve transformed the space into a moody candlelit boudoir with black lace and shadows, and I’ve also styled it as a soft, bridal fantasy with white silk robes and lace veils. Because the studio is designed to be modular and neutral-toned, we can create both fine art elegance and editorial edge depending on your wardrobe and lighting.

What are your favorite photo spots in the studio?

The recent addition of my vintage bed delivers stunning shots from different angles. Another favorite is playful lounging poses and the sheer-curtained window setup that makes for intimate, romantic portraits every time. The textured walls also allow for dramatic black-and-white portraits, which clients love for a fine-art vibe.
