If you obey all the rules, then you miss out on all the fun
One of the most common worries about doing a boudoir shoot is what will I wear? I’m here to tell you not to worry, we’ve got you covered!
My name is Lorraine and I own Captured by Lorraine. I have a passion for photography and a desire to help women discover their inner and outer beauty. I help women in the Northern IL area to truly believe in their beauty. Do you know that you are beautiful? You are perfectly beautiful now just as you are! The most important thing is how you feel about how you look. Confidence is what we all need. Confidence, self acceptance and personality is what I bring out in the women we photograph. It is our job to coach and find the model within you that we know is there! Some of us forget what it’s like to feel beautiful and strong along the way. We get too busy with our lives, our family & our jobs. This experience is for you to feel that again… Because you are truly perfect right now. And we can’t wait to celebrate that for you! — Lorraine

Boudoir photography is for EVERY type of woman of all shapes, sizes, and martial statuses. My clients are divorcees, fiancés, mothers, wives, thin, voluptuous, extra curvy, boyish, feminine, doctors, waitresses, and everything in between! It is for women who wish to take intimate, modern glamour, sensual and sexy
pictures of themselves. The boudoir experience makes you feel like a Victoria’s Secret model for the day!
