Chicago Boudoir Photographer
Boudoir, For yOu
This experience is about more than photographs.
It’s about seeing yourself—truly—as you are in this moment: strong, soft, radiant, real.
My clients come to boudoir for many reasons...
To celebrate a milestone.
To reclaim their confidence.
To feel beautiful in their skin again.
To mark a transition, a triumph or simply… themselves.
There’s no right reason. Only yours.
Let’s create something meaningful, just for you.

Named One of the Best Boudoir Photographers in Chicago
Renowned for her luminous and beautiful boudoir portraits, Chicago boudoir photographer Ashley Biess captures the intimate essence of women with artistic finesse.
This experience and these photos held up a mirror so I could see myself as I really am: as a beautiful person who contains multitudes, whose body has carried her through the most joyful and challenging moments of my life, whose body tells that story — my story — and deserves to be loved in all it's forms.
Words from the artist
As a photographer, one of the greatest gifts I can offer is showing women how uniquely beautiful and special they are.
I believe in treating ourselves with kindness and respect because someday, whether in days or years, we’ll look back and feel immense gratitude for the person we are today.
Life is a mix of beautiful, turbulent and wondrous moments, and it’s so important to recognize our strength and embrace the truth that we are enough, just as we are.
My hope is that these photos will reflect who you are in this moment and allow you to look back with love and pride for yourself.
If this resonates with you, I’d be honored to connect and explore the possibilities of working together.

The Real Reason Women Choose Boudoir
This is for you—first and always.
A boudoir session can be a beautiful gift for someone else…but the most unexpected gift is the one you give yourself.
This experience is a pause in the rush. A breath.
A way to reconnect with the woman you are right now.
You don’t need a reason or permission to celebrate yourself.
You’re worthy of that celebration, just as you are.
Years from now, you’ll look back at these images and remember how you felt: grounded, beautiful and completely yourself.

You’ll leave with more than photos—you’ll leave with a renewed sense of confidence, presence and self-worth.
A reminder of your power
Whether you're marking a milestone or simply ready to see yourself in a new light, this session honors the woman you are in this season.
A celebration of who you’ve become
In the middle of a busy, demanding life, this is your chance to slow down and be fully present with yourself—to remember how strong, soft, beautiful and alive you are.

Still Thinking About It? That’s More Than Okay.
You don’t need to have it all figured out. Most of my clients were a little unsure at first—nervous, excited, curious. That’s completely normal.
Boudoir is deeply personal. It’s not about perfection—it’s about presence.
Whether you’re exploring the idea or already dreaming up the details, I’d love to connect and hear what this experience could mean to you.
