What is a Boudoir Marathon Event?

For the last 3 years, I’ve been hosting Boudoir Marathon Events in Chicago and I’ve had SO. MUCH. FUN. working with you guys!

When I announce these events, one of the question I am always asked is “What the heck is a Boudoir Marathon anyway?!” It’s a great question and I’m going to answer it for you today.

For awhile, I’ve joked around with the idea of naming this the “#IWokeUpLikeThis” Boudoir Event, because really, that’s what it feels like! When you first arrive to your session, I will greet you at the door, pour you a mimosa (grapefruit mimosas are my new fave!), and then send you back to hair and makeup where you will be pampered by our all female team. Before we begin, I’ll review your outfit selections and recommend what you’ll wear first. When you are ready, we’ll begin your photo session in this dreamy, Parisian styled loft space!

This beautifully decorated loft is gorgeous, light and airy and will make you feel right at home! You’ll be lounging around in your fancy lingerie, gazing up at the chandeliers, with a mimosa in hand, and pretending like this a totally normal way to spend a Sunday morning.

Don’t worry about the posing! That’s what I’m here for. I’ll direct you every step of the way to make sure you look like your most beautiful and confident self. My style of boudoir photography focuses on creating romantic, natural and classic photos — nothing too “pin-uppy” or cheesy.

So what makes it a “Marathon”? On a Boudoir Marathon Event day, I typically shoot 4-5 back-to-back boudoir sessions. While you are taking your photos, another lady will be back in hair and makeup. This makes the price point more affordable than a private session, all while giving you the same beautiful setting and all inclusive experience. I’ll provide the bubbly and snacks, and all you need to bring is your 2 outfits and your beautiful self!

After the Event, I’ll have your images ready within 3-4 weeks and I’ll work with you to create the *PERFECT* gift for yourself and for that special someone. The photos make for an unforgettable gift, but honestly, it’s an even better gift to yourself. It takes a lot of guts to do a session like this, and the payoff feels incredible!
