Boudoir photography is an intimate, artistic, and empowering style of photography designed to capture your beauty, confidence, and femininity. At Gilded Boudoir, we create elegant, fine-art images that celebrate you—whether as a bridal gift, anniversary present, or a self-love experience.
Absolutely! Most of our clients have never done a boudoir session before. Our expert female photographers will guide you through flattering poses, lighting, and styling to ensure you look and feel stunning. Our goal is to showcase your natural beauty and confidence.
Gilded Boudoir is located inside Panorama Studio at Venue 404 in downtown Oshkosh, WI. Our private, beautifully designed studio features luxury vintage furniture, soft lighting, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere to help you feel comfortable and confident.
We recommend booking at least 6–8 weeks in advance, especially if you need your images in time for a wedding, anniversary, or special occasion. This allows time for shooting, editing, and ordering prints or albums.
Wear whatever makes you feel confident and beautiful! We provide access to our luxury Client Closet, featuring lace bodysuits, silk robes, corsets, and more. You’re also welcome to bring personal lingerie pieces or sentimental items. Not sure what to wear? We’ll help with styling during your consultation.

Absolutely! We offer heirloom-quality albums, fine-art wall prints, and private digital collections. During your reveal session, you’ll have the opportunity to select your favorite images and choose how you’d like to display them.
Your private reveal session will take place 2–3 weeks after your shoot. This is when you’ll see your images for the first time and select your favorite prints, albums, and digitals. Rush options are available if you need them sooner!
We’ll provide a full Boudoir Prep Guide before your shoot, but here are some quick tips:
✅ Stay hydrated for glowing skin.
✅ Avoid tight clothing before your session to prevent marks on your skin.
✅ Get a fresh mani/pedi—your hands will be in the photos!
✅ Bring a mix of lingerie & personal items you love.
✅ Most importantly—relax! We’ll take care of the rest.
