Marilyn Monroe-Inspired Boudoir Photography in Chicago
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.
Ideal for All Body Types
My Marilyn Boudoir Shoot is about curves, confidence, and glow. I provide soft light and flattering posing so every shape and size feels gorgeous in front of the camera.
A Perfect Gift for Chicagoland Brides-to-Be
Brides across Chicago and the suburbs are booking this session as a wedding gift for their partner, or as a celebration of themselves before the big day. It's a quick one-hour session that fits easily into a busy wedding-planning schedule. You'll leave with images you'll treasure long after the wedding.
