25 Best Online Stores to Buy Your Boudoir Lingerie
“It is absurd to look for perfection.”
– Camille Pissarro, Danish-French Impressionist & Neo-Impressionist artist
As a professional boudoir photographer, based here in the wonderful city of Paris, and with the advantage of being a young woman, too, I am more than happy to advise you on what brands and styles of lingerie will enhance your body shape, accentuate your features and curves, and which lingerie will photograph beautifully – thus, providing you with a truly sensual ambience to each of your final prints, and to the complete album itself.
Did you know that around 80% of people shop online regularly? Online shopping has provided the busy professional woman (and the time-constrained mom) with the opportunity to purchase the things they need, and the things they want, quickly and exceptionally easily. It has become the new standard for many of today’s consumers.

Having the professional experience of photographing a wide range of different body types, skin tones and looks, I am more than happy to advise what would work best for you (and what wouldn’t) when it comes to buying your boudoir lingerie. However, I happily understand that your personal preference is of paramount importance to your entire boudoir experience, and that is what counts – for both you and me.
Your choice of lingerie is one of the most important decisions you will make with regard to your boudoir photography session, directly influencing the feel and look of each final print. For example, if you have a favorite online store for all of your “seductive essentials,” because of how you feel when wearing them, then that will transpose itself right into the prints themselves.
Here are my current choices for the “25 Best Online Stores to Buy Your Boudoir Lingerie.” Each entry on this list has the business name, website link, description (quoted directly from the site, where possible), and the link to their Frequently Asked Questions – everything you need to know about purchase, delivery, payment and returns.
So browse away – there’s a lot to see, and enjoy…

Please remember, if you choose to purchase your lingerie online before your travel (as many clients do), don’t do it at the last minute. Make sure you leave time for returns and the next delivery, in the event of problems.
However, in the case of any issues, I also keep a range of amazing products at my Paris studio for you to purchase. These lingerie pieces are hand-picked and carefully chosen by myself – for their style, their look, and how well they actually photograph – an important consideration.
If you have any questions about your boudoir photography session, or you wish to ask about something else entirely, no problem – please feel free to connect with me, and let’s make all of these wondrous things happen for you.
