It’s been a long week with lots of deadlines, and a washing machine mishap. That was an unwelcome expense! But here we are back into the weekly grind and what better way to start off then with Tushy Tuesday!
P.S. We went with an LG Front loader. It had fantastic reviews so crossing my fingers that we don’t get a lemon. Haha.
Happy Friday, everyone!
It’s been more than a few weeks since I’ve talked about lingerie here, so it’s about high time to get back to that. I hope you enjoyed a few other fun diversions in the meantime.
I was pondering what I wanted to cover this week when I came across a post in my Facebook feed about an event featuring Ampere lingerie.
I’ve never heard of Ampere lingerie before so I decided to check it out. As it turns out, I’m just a few Facebook friends removed from one of the founders.
Ampere is a relatively new and small line of lingerie that features a few classic (and beautiful) staples, but there are a few special features which I think make them really unique.
Correct fit is one of the major focuses of Ampere Lingerie, which is currently only available online. To ensure the best fit possible, Ampere offers 28 different bra sizes and free shipping and returns. What’s even better is that with each bra order they send you a few sizes to try, so you can keep the one that fits best and return the others free of charge. Pretty neat if you ask me.
The bras are a bit pricey (about $95), but they are made from high quality materials and every bra purchase comes with a free panty (why doesn’t everyone do this?).
Here are a few items from their current collection:
I feel like I say it a lot about lingerie I feature on Fashion Friday, but I really like how classic and pretty their styles are. While the colors and silhouettes are rather basic, the details make each of these pieces truly special and definitely boudoir worthy.
Unfortunately I don’t have $95 laying around in bra-money right now, but next time I do, I might just have to give one of these a try!
Has anyone bought anything from this line? I’d love to hear feedback! And of course we’d love to see it in the studio too. Give us a call or shoot us an email to schedule a boudoir session today.

Bridal Boudoir is becoming more and more popular these days (if you don’t believe me – take a look at Pinterest!) and there are so many cute outfit options. If you’re planning a bridal boudoir session and need some inspiration, read on!
I had a boudoir photo session about a year ago as a gift for myself (okay, it was actually a gift for my husband-to-be, but if you’ve had a boudoir photo shoot you know what I’m talking about!). Bridal was one part of the session, but looking back I really put a lot more effort into my other two outfits. With all of the other wedding planning I had going on, when it came to the bridal part of my session, I just grabbed a cute white bra and panty set from Victoria’s Secret and called it a day. While there’s absolutely nothing wrong with a good bra and panty set, I was really just in a rush and had no idea how many other options there were.
If you’re in the midst of planning a wedding AND a bridal boudoir photo shoot, here are some fun ideas to get your creative juices flowing. Now that I’ve found all of these, I might just have to have an anniversary session one day. White isn’t really just for brides anyway. 
When you’re planning for a bridal session, don’t forget about accessories. One of the easiest things to do is to wear your wedding accessories if you already have them. Might as well kill two birds with one stone. Flowers also make a great prop and they don’t have to be anything too fancy. I’m a big fan of a simple bouquet with just one type of flower like we have shown HERE in one of my past bridal posts. It’s a great way to add a pop of color without being a distraction. Or, if you happen to be splurging for a trial bouquet and time it right, you could always use that too.

Earlier this month I mentioned the launch of our Coterie Petite mini sessions and I was able to change payment options thanks to some new studio management software(thanks Pixifi!) You can now pay the $200 retainer upfront and make payments on the balance prior to your Petite session date! Wahoo!!
I have also had a few people wonder what a set of ten images may look like. Here are ten from a regular shoot but these were taken in less than 15 minutes and we even had time to go inside while she was just in the bra and panties and do a few more poses. However, I only have permission to share the shots from the hallway but this just goes to show how many gorgeous images you can get with one outfit.
Next week I will share a sheet set and again, 20 minutes 10 fabulous images! Doesn’t Miss J look fabulous!? I LOVE this outfits and all the textures, so HOT!
I told you they were great and now you too can have your very own sexy mini model session. What are you waiting for? You deserve it, beautiful!

Happy Friday, everyone! For this week’s Fashion Friday, I wanted to share some fabulous vintage finds from eBay.
I have to admit, eBay isn’t the first place that comes to mind when I think of lingerie shopping, but after Danea scored a gorgeous vintage nightgown this week, I decided to give it a gander.
Browsing eBay is not exactly like walking into your favorite lingerie shop, but if you keep an open mind, you’re bound to find some unique vintage pieces and even a few bargains.
eBay obviously doesn’t have quite the same aesthetic as a Victoria’s Secret catalog, so you have to use your imagination a little (not that Victoria’s Secret catalogues are an accurate depiction of reality anyway). Most items are poorly photographed, loosely draped across creepy mannequins, and are often set against distracting backgrounds.
See what I mean?
Is she going to the beach in that??
That wallpaper….
However, once you look past all of that, how gorgeous are these nightgowns — and how amazing would they be to rock for a boudoir photo session? I love how they’re classically sexy and would be flattering for many figure types.
Don’t forget, Boudoir Coterie offers wardrobe consultations with many of our packages, so if you aren’t sure about something you want to purchase for a session, you can always send Danea a link before you bid.
Here are a few of my favorites that are still up for auction (at the time this was originally posted):
This sheer mint nightgown is gorgeous and a perfect color for spring.
I love how this color really pops and is another fabulous option for spring.
This nightgown has really gorgeous lace detailing on top.
This one is vintage Christian Dior. Check out that lace!
So what do you think? Would you buy lingerie on eBay? Are you ready to add one of these to your collection? If you’re ready to show off your awesome vintage eBay find, give us a call or shoot us an email to schedule a session today!
