The official Own Boudoir Lingerie Shopping Guide is here!

We’ve gone through seven years of helping clients and photographers know where to find the best lingerie, the best body chains, the perfect off-the-shoulder sweaters, and not-too-tight thigh highs, and heels that are the perfect height. I have no idea why it didn’t occur to us before now that we needed to officially write out our guide, but I’d like to think that we’ve used the last 7 years to real perfect our suggestions!

The point of this guide is to direct clients (and photographers!) toward the best stores for outfitting a boudoir session. Searching for lingerie, for heels, for garter belts, and for ANYTHING that you’re wearing in your boudoir session can be quite daunting and overwhelming. Go ahead, Google ‘lace corset’, you’ll find thousands of results. We’ve narrowed down the best places to shop so that you don’t have to scroll through the maze of the internet. Boudoir sessions can already be a little intimidating and cause a case of nerves, we don’t want you to get more nervous or intimidated because of the shopping element.

So, without further ado, our Lingerie Shopping Guide is here! Click on the link below to download the guide!

Happy shopping!,

(This lace dress is from Amazon, and is an extremely popular option for our clients! It is marketed as a maternity dress for photoshoots, but works for everyone) Find it here.

This is one of my FAVORITE bodysuits. It is by the brand Maison Close. It can be found online or at Anna Bella Lingerie (Atlanta) and Trashy Diva Lingerie (Atlanta and New Orleans)

Last year we broke into conceptual boudoir sessions, and our first location was here in Atlanta. Once these images were posted we had clients (past and future) ask about creating their OWN themed/concept shoot. Here’s how you can make it happen, too!

The first step to having your own concept shoot or themed shoot is to TELL us your ideas. Our studio, while fabulously beautiful with great light and furniture, is not always ideal for your idea. For example, I love the idea of a 70s style heart-shaped bathtub and sheepskin rug… but those things do not exist in our studio, and they aren’t getting shipped to me anytime soon. If you have a concept in mind, tell me so that we can start researching your best options. Do we need to rent a local spot to have your boudoir session? We could also potentially travel to a spot if it ends up being perfect. Your vision is incredibly important and we will absolutely sit on the internet until 4am researching the best place to make your vision a reality.

Spoiler alert, the first step is the only step. Let me also hit you with a cliche… “Communication is key”. Let’s talk about your shoot and your ideas. I LOVE creating fantasy sessions and themed sessions for clients! In fact, I just shot a 70s style Playboy boudoir shoot (but those images are private so I can’t share them with you).

Let’s shoot your dream boudoir session, whatever that might be.
