Marilyn Monroe-Inspired Boudoir Photography in Chicago

Marilyn Monroe boudoir shoot

Some photographs never go out of style. Douglas Kirkland's iconic portraits of Marilyn Monroe, tangled in white silk sheets, are still some of the most glamorous and playful images ever made. At Amélie, I've turned that mood into a Chicago boudoir experience that's easy, fun, and made for real women.

What Is a Marilyn-Inspired Boudoir Shoot?

It's a boudoir session styled after Marilyn's famous Kirkland shoot. It's soft and timeless, and it feels like a classic Hollywood morning. If you've been searching for boudoir photography in Chicago that feels more like a celebration than a photoshoot, this is it.

Your session includes:

  • White silk sheets

  • Dom Pérignon on ice

  • Frank Sinatra playing

  • Marilyn-style posing, guided step by step

  • 1 hour of shooting

  • 20 digitally edited images

You Don't Have to Worry About Lingerie

Women routinely tell me perfect-fitting lingerie can sometimes be difficult to find. Well, you won’t need it here. Just bring your undergarments. My silky, satiny sheets do the styling, so you can skip the shopping, expense, and the stress.

Professional, Fun & Carefree

My Suburban-Chicago boudoir sessions are professional and comfortable, with clear direction on every pose, so you never have to wonder what to do with your hands. The music, the champagne, and the silky sheets keep the mood light and playful.
