Chris Connelly Photography is an artful, body-positive, Intimate Portraiture Studio specializing in everything from boudoir to nude-oir.
For our clients, a photo shoot with our team is a luxury experience. The process is just as important as the result. Our number one job is to ensure your session is comfortable, fun, relaxing, and flexible. From our free Pre-Shoot Consultation right on through to seeing your images delivered in one of our heirloom-quality Signature Photo Albums, we hear that our client’s experience was energizing, empowering, and made them feel truly special.
A close friend of mine asked what I believe my superpower is. As I was thinking he said, “You break down a door that is tragically closed to so many people, allowing them to see, believe, and accept the beauty in their own bodies.” My response was simply, “I can own that.” That superpower, as he calls it, is ultimately the reason I love what we do every day. We thrive on the positivity it allows us to put back into a world that all too often is filled with negativity, especially when it comes to self-worth and body image. I am grateful that my life-long passion for photography has enabled me to be a part of breaking down that door for so many people.
I have been shooting studio work since I was a teenager (I literally built a studio and darkroom in our basement at 14). I began focusing exclusively on intimate portraiture in 2014 when I opened my studio as a part-time career. In August of 2017, I made the decision to make it my primary business and, in the past six years, I have had the privilege of working with more than 500 clients.

Our beautiful, purpose-built studios are designed exclusively for intimate portraiture, with multiple sets, looks, props, themes, and wardrobe closets. We have dedicated hair and makeup areas where our hair and makeup artists will work with you for your perfect look and an image viewing area for you to review your images after the shoot – you read that right, you get to review your images the same day!
In Albany, we are on Central Avenue, just two miles from the Northway. If you live outside of the capital district or would like to shoot on location, we are available to travel with our fully portable studio setup. Contact us so we can discuss travel requirements and location information.
