Michael Smithgall Boudoir

Welcome to Smithgall Boudoir
I’m Mike, a Chicago-based photographer specializing in the beauty and art of the human form. I believe that every person, woman, man, or couple, describes a unique story through their expressions and contours, and I’m here to help you capture it.
I work out of a private, residential studio space, providing a quiet and discreet alternative to a crowded commercial building. Because your comfort is my top priority, my wife, MJ, is present for every session. She’ll greet you at the door, help you get settled, and make sure you feel relaxed and supported from start to finish.
Whether you are looking to celebrate a personal milestone, create a gift for a partner, or simply explore a creative outlet, my goal is to provide a professional, low-pressure environment where you can be your authentic self.
Take a look through the gallery, and if you’re ready to create something beautiful together, I’d love to hear from you.
