Shopping for your Boudoir Session
Collecting your wardrobe for a boudoir shoot can be a bit overwhelming. My goal is to make this as simple as possible. There are plenty of places online to shop. Before you buy online, I recommend going to a brick and mortar store to get measured. For example: Victoria's Secret does free bra fittings. There are plenty of other lingerie stores that do this as well.
You’ll want to remember to bring a variety of looks to your shoot. Don't just bring bra and panty sets. If it is too fancy to wear to work, then it is probably perfect for your shoot!
Here is a list of some of my favorite places to shop:
Local and affordable brands:
lingerboutique.com
love and lemons
https://salualingerie.com in Seattle and online
https://www.soma.com/store/ - There is a location in Gig Harbor and online

I hope this list helps. Have fun! Remember: Keep the tags on everything. That way if we don't use it, you can return it (if you want). Also, please try everything on before you come to your shoot. Bringing a piece that you’re not 100% in love with is a definite faux pas.
I am so excited to see what you bring!
