SHOPPING GUIDE
A photo shoot is a very exciting, fun and self-gratifying experience: you open yourself up to new ideas, new looks and reveal your inner self. But shopping for the upcoming photo session is also a very revealing and thrilling ritual, which allows every woman to buy things she always wanted but never had an opportunity to do so.
Coming from our many years of experience doing Lingerie and Boudoir Photography in Toronto, we decided to share with you our resources to help you find the right garments for the photo shoot. The following are the stores that we hand picked and found absolutely amazing for not only ‘photo-shoot shopping’ but for shopping in general. We are biggest admirers of local boutiques where you can find stunning, one of a kind garments.
With Love Lingerie
The With Love collections appeal to an urban woman whose love of timeless style and fashion extends beyond her outerwear and into her underpinnings. With Love is influenced by current fashion trends, fusing them with elegant lingerie styles to create exciting pieces with each capsule collection.
With Love is proud to be part of the Canadian fashion community and chooses to keep production in Canada.
