Love Letters to Me, a free, virtual community gathering held weekly. A dedicated hour to spend time with you.

A new offering coming from my sweet lil heart!

Here’s how you’ll know if you’re ready for your boudoir session with Cheyenne Gil in her Philadelphia Boudoir Studio

I’m Cheyenne (They/she), a Philadelphia based body and fat affirming boudoir photographer, educator, and retreat facilitator. I help you celebrate, honor, and see yourself through the incredibly healing experience of being photographed, helping you photograph yourself and others, and facilitating a space for folks to come together in intentional, caring community. I’m a Queer, Latine, and Nonbinary babely babe and I can’t wait to make some magic with you!

I explained that for my clients it’s about empowerment. A reclamation of one’s body, mind, and soul. I went on to talk about how it can often be an incredibly life changing experience. The person scoffed at me. “I don’t think a photo shoot could make someone feel that much better. They’re just photos”. Just photos. Hm. Just photos. Two months later that person was in my boudoir studio in her underwear. She cried when I showed her the back of the camera. “Is that me?” - Yes. Yes, that’s you.

When I think back to the beginning of my own healing journey, I realize now that at that time I had no idea how impactful having certain practices would be for me. Looking back, I can see now how much those little practices I started implementing back then have changed me and have shown me my own self in so many ways. I still implement so many of those things, and I’m still learning, trying, practicing every single day.
