Read MoreBefore your boudoir shoot, a blowout becomes an invaluable way to boost your confidence and uplevel your look in a pinch. You’re always gorgeous, but if you want to have that extra bounce in your step (and in your hair) on the day of your photo shoot, a blowout is a simple trick to have up your sleeve.
Read MoreWhen’s the last time you truly felt connected to your sexy, feminine side? As working women ourselves, we know life can get hectic… and that’s probably an understatement for most women. Women tend to wear all the hats in their lives and doing that can be a fast track to exhaustion and disconnection. Its time you ditch the stress for a day and schedule a day of pampering and photography in our Chicago boudoir studio!
Read MoreThe desire to be sexy comes with no age limits. I’ve had quite a few clients book a boudoir shoot at Demi Girl’s studio over the last year who were over the age of 45. These women wanted the experience of getting in front of the camera for a boudoir shoot just the same as any young bride.

Read MoreWe all know that magic is in makeup. As an artist myself, photographer of course, I know that it's not just good makeup that matters, but the application and artistry behind the brush that is so very important. I've spent years curating my dream team of makeup artists for my Chicago Lakeview Studio. I've been so fortunate to recruit a team of makeup artist that are passionate and know how to turn up the glam while keeping our clients looking like themselves.
Read MoreFor the record, the saying that every body is a bikini body applies to lingerie, too.

If you’re looking for a studio in Chicago, our Lakeview/Lincoln Park location has the perfect sets to help you unleash your inner beauty and build confidence.

Read MoreI love to get in touch with clients after a shoot and have them fill out a questionnaire about their experience and their “why” for booking. It inspires me every time and I just know it’ll inspire my future clients as well. Enjoy reading about Mrs.L’s experience and “why” for her Demi Girl Boudoir shoot:)
Read MoreAny headshot client that I schedule will have her hair and make up done with one of our certified artists to give a beautiful pulled together look so I thought, why not start a boudoir session with a headshot session?! Make up is included in a boudoir session, so it only makes sense for us to help you put your “best face forward”.
Read MoreBoudoir photography is one of the most powerful experiences for women. Working past self doubt and pushing through the nerves and vulnerability is why I applaud all of my clients. Honestly, many clients tell me they thought about not coming because they were so nervous. The most common comment I hear from my clients is “geeze, that wasn’t bad at all and way easier than I thought!”

Read MoreOne common thing I hear from women when booking their shoot is regarding wardrobe. Many clients have a drawer stuffed with lingerie from a bachelorette party or bridal shower that has never seen the light of day or should I say the dark of night. lol Usually my clients aren't comfortable with wearing their lingerie until after they experience a boudoir shoot. But here's the thing... it’s not the lingerie that makes my clients feel sexy.
