We see a LOT of different lingerie brands come through our studio. One of my favorite things to help clients with is selecting wardrobe for their boudoir session. This means I get to browse the hundreds of brands out there that are all different and special in their own way. One of the brands that I’ve had a crush on for a bit is Aubade!

Aubade is a french lingerie brand that has a wide range of styles and cup sizes… which is fabulous for boudoir clients and women in general! Their lingerie sets are SO beautiful, and I love their embroidery and color.

Recently I’ve fallen in love with this illusion bra set, which also has a bodysuit version. A client brought it in the other day for her boudoir session (see photos below) and it photographed SO perfectly. It’ll make you feel incredible, boudoir shoot or not!

And here is how it photographed!! I love seeing lingerie pieces come alive in the boudoir studio!

If you’d like to see this set in person (and you’re in the Atlanta area) then you can find it at AnnaBella fine lingerie and at Jenette Bras (two locations).

Picking out your wardrobe for your boudoir shoot can be a BIT intimidating. I mean, buying JEANS is intimidating these days. No thank you.

Luckily, after shooting constantly over the last 10 years we've got a few tried and true suggestions that always work… and I mean it when I say “always”.

You may love some of these individual pieces, or you might look around on the different websites to see other items you might like! Ideally, if you’ve hired us for your boudoir session then we suggest you order a couple of sizes in each thing that you like, that way you can see which size works the best and you don't have to worry about going and and forth with shipping times. No two brands’ sizing is the same, so we love multiple options!

For bodysuits:

• Here are some of my favorites from Nordstrom that I curated

• This bodysuit looks amazing on pretty much EVERYONE. It comes in a few colors, too! I recommend it nonstop

• This bodysuit is also great, plus it has some added support!

• This classic lace bodysuit comes in both black and a gorgeous teal color!

For Bra sets:

• This site has a lot of bra sets with a variety of sizingAbsolutely love all of these bra sets from Frederick's! I love that you can mix and match, too!

• Playful Promises is one of my favorite brands, but their shipping from their website can be slow. That's why I saw to get them from HERE! They have great sizing, colors, and shapes! 

General Favorites:

• Here are my general favorites from Frederick's of Hollywood. I love their corsets, their babydolls, their bra sets... they have ALWAYS done a sexier version of lingerie, and they work really well for the shoot

• Victoria's Secret does a GREAT job with slips. They are so sexy! We can hike them up the leg, pull a strap off of the shoulder... they are some of the best around

• This site is usually known for shapewear, but their lingerie is great. They have a LOT of different sizes and a great return policy if you order more sizes.
