I’m not a lingerie person, where do I purchase and what do I purchase?

Here’s a little bit about each option and what choices to make.

I want to say regardless of where you find yourself purchasing, if you showed up in just a bra and underwear set, I’d still deliver the best images you’ve ever seen of yourself. This moment it truly about YOU and only YOU. You are what makes the photo, not the garment. Obviously, you want to have something that is properly fitted to you, but at the end of the day you’re gonna look & feel like a goddamn goddess so be prepared.

In addition, things that I find incredibly flattering for all body types are bodysuits/teddy. They truly are a favorite and look damn good on everyBODY. Scrappy things, sometimes a pain to put on, but the fact that you can adjust such garments around curves is such an appeal. High waisted underwear, another flattering piece for all body types. I love shooting these - what a vibe. The top image is the beige set from Intimissimi with high waisted underwear and as you can see it accentuates curves beautifully.

• Megan Summerville is a wonderful artist and local to Colorado. Her pieces are all handmade by her. If you’re looking for a truly one of a kind unique piece, this is where to go. She measures you herself to ensure you get the exact fit for your body type(amazing). She created the piece above for me for my own boudoir session and it’s truly beautiful. Due to her handcrafted luxury items, please reach out to her immediately if you’re interested in a piece to allow for time create such a work of art. Cost varies, depending on what you order. https://www.megansummerville.com/
• Intimissimi is like the Italian version of Victoria’s Secret(and I believe they are or were connected at one point). I originally found them while living in Austria. Truly beautiful garments and has a beautiful vintage look and feel. Incredibly comfortable. Be sure of your sizing before ordering. Even though it does come from Italy, the shipping is super fast - we’re talking days. https://www.intimissimi.com/us/women/
• This goes along with the previously mentioned. Victoria’s Secret. Convenience is here as they are everywhere and you can grab something and go. Similar pricing and sales as Intimissimi, I just choose the first as I enjoy their colors and look for my own personal tastes. https://www.victoriassecret.com/us/
• Next up we have the Honey Birdette, a luxury for all things leather and lace and on the more risqué side. Incredibly sexy pieces. I have personally not ordered, but I have seen and heard nothing but amazing things regarding their line of items and it’s definitely on the radar. https://us.honeybirdette.com/
• Lively, this company just happened to pop up in my feed a few years ago on FB and I took the chance and ordered some pieces. These are really comfortable. I like not wearing wires on most days and they have some really cute wireless bras. Definitely more on the “basic” side, but also if you’re looking for something you can wear more often this is them. It also appears this company has now partnered with Target so some things can be purchased at Target as well. https://www.wearlively.com/
• For my busty gals I’ve heard amazing things about the following two as they carry many sizes including F and above: https://www.thirdlove.com/ and https://www.savagex.com/
• Target has some really cute bras and they have started carrying a wide range of sizes, so if you’re a 32DD or a 40G you can find something online or in store.
• Lastly we have Amazon. This is the most economical choice for your garments. If you’re just looking for something for your session and are not looking to invest on this, that’s perfectly fine. They still photograph beautifully. Everyone know’s how to get to Amazon. ;-)
