I see that many of you are giving your FI b-pics as a wedding day gift. I am also, and I am in the midst of scheduling my session for mid-January. I am scared b/c:
1) I have never gotten naked/near naked with a stranger!
2) I have never taken naked pics at all
3) I'm worried that my body will not look as great as I want it to
4) I'm worried that I won't have the "sexy look" down and my facial expressions will just look strange or mad in the pics
5) I'm worried that the photographer (man) will make me feel uncomfortable
6) I don't know how much he'll be able to photoshop without it looking obvious! LOL
7) I am going to feel somewhat like a prostitute b/c I'm getting a hotel room for the "day rate" - LOL
8) I am sneaking around behind FI's back b/c he doesn't know anything about this
9) I don't know if the lingerie I have so far is sexy enough...
10) I want to get my hair done and have it flowin and swangin (LOL) but I also wanted a shower shot with the wet hair, wet body, the whole 9. So now I'm like do I pay to get my hair done and then just get it wet within a day???? Decisions, decisions!
So now that I've vented all of my fears - what are your fears about your upcoming b-pic session? And I've posted pics below that I love and I'm using for inspiration - please post yours!!!

Yeah girl, between now and mid-Jan I need to be working my butt off at the gym and drinking smoothies as a meal at least once a day. I will also drink more water to flush out my system. I wish we had a Frederick's store here! We had one in the mall in Atlanta and I really want to go and try some stuff on vs. buy it online. I think I'm going to Charming Charlie's to buy some costume type jewelry -- is it bad if I return it after the session? LOL!!
Maybe you can find a woman photog? The one I'm using is a lady and she has a studio set up like a hotel room, she said you can rent a room if your not comfortable coming to her home studio.
I'm nervous of someone seeing me near naked. I've started planning my outfit choices. I'm also taking my cousin with me because I'm so comfortable around her, maybe she will help loosen me up.

<div>Thought about doing that with my e-pic jewelry!!! LOL!!!</div><div>
</div><div>Do they have an Intimacy there? They have cute stuff... but it's a million dollars. lol. Don't over think your sexy clothes. FI won't know the difference, all he'll probably see is your skin anyway! Get some Vickie's Secret and that should be good enough. And grab one of his button up shirts and a tie. BAM! That's 2-3 outfits!</div>

I wish my photographer had a home studio, that would be nice! But then again, he is doing them for free, so I still think I'm paying less even with getting the hotel room.
I think I'm going to stick with him, being that he is free. :) I was thinking I may have my best friend come visit from Milwaukee so she can be there and make me feel comfortable. That's a great idea.

Naw girl, there is no Intimacy here. I went to the one in Atlanta to get sized, and it was a great experience...but I didn't buy anything but one bra b/c they are soooo expensive! We do have a Vickie's Secret actually right across the street from FI's house so I will check that out. I already bought one thing at Target on clearance (LOL, but it is pretty sexy!) and one thing from a store here in Cincinnati called Knickers that does all lingerie and had been mentioned on my local board a lot. They are expensive too, but I was able to find one thing under $40.
I like the button up shirt idea...and I'm slick b/c I just asked FI if he thought women in men's button down shirts is sexy, and he said yes! Then I asked about the tie and he said "no tie". It's so funny, he didn't even ask me what I was asking for! LOL
[QUOTE]Does he have a favorite football team Cincy? I'm doing a Redskins jersey with some boyshorts as one of my outfits, it will have two of his fav things in the pic besides me..... redskins and boyshorts!

Yeah, FI loves all things Detroit, so I found this Detroit shirt online for some cheap price and bought it. It has a deep scoop neck and it's a XS, so it's extra tight and makes my boobs pop out the top (with no bra!)...sorry if that's TMI but I know that's what FI will love about that shot! :) Now I just need to find some cute panties to go with it. The shirt is navy, red and white so I need one of those colors...I may try to find a pair of navy lace panties to match.

Ty about my hair - OK don't laugh but I don't straighten my own hair. It's too hard, too time consuming, and it's just too thick for me to mess with it like that. So if I don't get it done, then it will be worn curly...LOL! Which actually FI loves, my hair is curly now and he told me how good I look, so maybe that will work out....we'll see.
[QUOTE]Hotrocker is right, there's one in Northgate. I just looked it up on their website. And they have some CUTE stuff! And I'm NOT a lingerie girl! I HAVE to get this
