The Boudoir Experience

Booking your boudoir shoot is easy! Just email me at emily@boudoirbyemilygualdoni.com or call 815-719-0351, and we’ll pick a time that works for you. You can also check my availability online. I recommend booking at least a month in advance, as it takes that long to deliver the album.

Once we have your date, I’ll send a proposal with all the details, including a digital contract. A 25% non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your spot, with the balance due on the day of the shoot (or the second installment if on a payment plan).

After booking, I’ll send prep details so you're all set for the shoot! Let’s make this a smooth and exciting experience!

Every boudoir shoot is unique, and my goal is to bring your vision to life. After booking, I’ll send curated Pinterest boards with inspiration for makeup, hair, poses, and lingerie. You’re also welcome to create your own board, and we’ll work together to make your dream shoot a reality.

To tailor the experience to you, I’ll send a short questionnaire to learn more about your goals, insecurities, and what makes you feel confident. I’ll also provide tips on skincare, haircare, and outfit suggestions based on your body type, ensuring you feel your best.

On the day of your shoot, just arrive at the scheduled time and we’ll begin with a 15-minute consultation to review your outfits and pick the best ones. Don’t worry if you’re unsure—I’m here to help!

You’ll start by enjoying 1.5 to 2 hours with my makeup and hair artist, sipping champagne and relaxing as we perfect your look. Afterward, we’ll review your vision and address any last-minute questions before the shoot begins. During the session, I’ll show you every pose step by step—you’ll just need to mimic me, and I’ll guide you through it all. I’ll keep the vibe relaxed, play your favorite music, and make sure you feel confident and amazing throughout the shoot!

After your shoot, I’ll spend 7-10 days curating your images with light edits like skin smoothing and color correction. You’ll get access to around 150 proofs in a private online gallery to review and select your favorites. If you love more images than your package includes, you can easily purchase extras.

Once you’ve made your selections, I’ll do advanced retouching to enhance your features and address things like scars, acne, and stretch marks. You’ll receive your final, retouched digital images in about two weeks via Dropbox in high resolution, with both color and black-and-white versions. You’ll love how they turn out!

If you've chosen the signature album, I'll design a custom layout with your selected retouched images. Before starting, you can request any images in black and white for a timeless look.

After creating the design, I’ll send it to you for feedback and offer one complimentary revision. Once the order is placed, your album will arrive within a week, shipped discreetly to your home.

If you need it sooner, let me know, and I can provide expedited options. Your satisfaction is my priority!
