Forget what you’ve been told.  Sexy is not a size. Sexy is not an age.

Sexy is a VIBE. It’s that inner confidence, that inner swagger that comes from truly knowing your worth.

When we sat down with Liz Hansen, owner and photographer of @chicago.boudoir, to talk about her mission as a boudoir photographer, she reiterated that her job isn’t just to take beautiful pictures. It’s to help people feel that powerful, sexy, and desirable energy from within, so she and her clients can capture that authentic magic on camera.

You are worthy and desirable at ANY age and ANY size. Period.
