Anyone that has taken b-pics or that is just really creative, please feel free to jump in. My pics are in 3 1/2 weeks and I need to make sure that I have everything together because I will be back at work by the time my shoot roles around. I'm trying to put together a list.

I will have my hair and makeup done professionally so that part is pretty much taken care of, but I need an idea of what things I should take to the shoot as well as ideas for outfits. I can do up to 5.

One will be in a Duke t-shirt and boy shorts.
Another in a red satin nightie and robe.
Another in a bra/panty/garter/hose outfit.

I need ideas on shoes, accessories, props, etc.

Please help!

    I did some self b-pics for FI for Christmas.  I bought him a Vick football jersey and took pics of me in it before I sent it to him (I enclosed the pics in the box with the jersey).  I contrasted the athletic look with heels and pearls and..... a FOOTBALL!

    So, if Duke basketball is his pleasure, maybe throw a ball in there as a prop?

    Also.... champagne glasses, strawberries, anything fur....

    Good ideas ladies!  I am taking some pics in August.  Can't wait!  My photographer researched some poses for me.  One is standing on a counter in front of a mirror.  One is laying next to a window.  I can't remeber all of them.  Sorry I don't think I helped any.
    Until the first full year of being one! Anniversary

    Fun undies in different colors. But I 2nd heels and fur.  Those long beads too, that flapper girls used to wear from the 1940's would be fun too.

    OOOOOO I did a shoot for my FI for Vday. Definitely HEELS! I also took a couple in his football jersey, one of his white collared shirts, and his favorite superman tshirt. Bring something that represents or interest him. If he plays the guitar, sneak the guitar out the house and use it as a prop. :)
    Have fun!
