    So I am super excited bc I officially booked my boudoir session with a local photog and I am wanting to get some new lingerie for it but I am not really sure where. I know the typical places like Victorias Secret and places like that but I was really hoping you girls knew of some great little websites that had some super cute stuff.. Thanks a ton

    Agent Provacateur, if you're ok with spending some money...it's quite expensive but worth the money for a very special occassion.

    Get creative!  It doesn't have to be ALL lingerie to be smokin' hot.  I'm a boudoir/wedding photographer too and I really love it when my clients bring outfits that are a little outside the norm.  For example, if your fiance is into sports and has a favorite team you could wear a jersey but pin it up all sexy like.  I did a girl whose man was in construction and she wore a wife-beater and construction hat with skimpy, ruffly black panties.  I highly recommend a couple of outfit changes.  My favorite is when we have 1-2 lingerie and at least one other out-of-the-box outfit.  I'm always a fan of the classic man's shirt & tie as well.  These are great ways to save money too if that's an issue.  If you go skiing/snowboarding, you could wear just a scarf and a cute hat.  Bathing suits can work great sometimes.  Department stores like Nordstroms/Macys also have pretty lingerie. Things like that. Oh, boudoir is so fun!  It might be my favorite kind of photography these days.  

    Don't forget to accessorize!  Props are great too as long as they don't get too cheesy...but a good photographer would never let that happen.  Good luck!

    I bought lingerie from Fredrick's of Hollywood. It was a cute babydoll.

    I was trying to save money so I bought a few bra/panties sets and jewelry as well. I honestly think that accesories really add something to your pictures. I was able to find fun jewelry at NY and Company. I also used back peep toe pumps that I already owned.

    I agree with the PP about getting creative. I used one of my FI's dress shirts, a silky purple robe and the hotel bedsheet for the rest of my photos.

    Shoes are a must as well!  Complete the outfit.  The sexier the shoes, the sexier the whole shoot will look.
