Just wanted to let you know about a Groupon that showed up in my in-box. With all the talk lately about Boudoir pics I thought people might be interested.
The Groupon is for $99 for a Mini Boudoir Photo Shoot at Sugar and Spice Photography ($225 Value). It's on the Minneapolis/St Paul Groupon site:

There is also a link for the Mixbook deal that was talked about earlier in the week.

On their site it just says something about a collage for the mini shoots so I wonder if you also get a disc of your images or what...?

[QUOTE]I feel like I want a 2nd shot at these dang b-pics... Musical did you get a disc with your images or how does it work? On their site it just says something about a collage for the mini shoots so I wonder if you also get a disc of your images or what...?

It looks like the mini-session is a little different because you have to style your own hair, but they do makeup for you. Not sure about the collage part of it, since I just did a regular shoot I didn't get that offer. I am going to order a CD once I see the photo proofs but it is going to be additional $$. From just my experience though, it is totally worth it for how great it felt and just a sneak peak at one of the pictures looked awesome.
ETA: It looks like you get to review the proofs in studio, which I also didn't do. But it also says you can apply the value to a full shoot if you wanted. So your $99 plus another $60 or so would get you the 2 look full session, which is what I did.

This sounds like a great deal, and being able to schedule something for the summer would be ideal for me.
Thanks a bunch!
[QUOTE]For those of you that have used them, did you end up using their outfits? and what did you think about it? This sounds like a great deal, and being able to schedule something for the summer would be ideal for me.

I used their outfits while I was there and didn't mind it at all. I was going to bring a jersey of FI's but it was dirty so I couldn't. They suggest bringing things that you want to incorporate just in case but they have TONS of stuff there. And you put hygenic linings in the underwear and then discard the lingerie in a laundry bag after you are done so that they can wash it. It isn't any different than trying on a swimsuit at a store, IMO. They have a HUGE variety of stuff and it all is pretty great.

Ditto -- I brought in my FI's Paintball jersey but other than that I used their outfits. My favorite was a long multiple strand of pearls, white underwear, fish nets and heels.
They do have a lot of outfits and I was a size 14 at the time when I had my shoot and I still had to narrow down the outfits.
The one thing they said they were short on at the time of my shoot was size 6 shoes. But they had plenty of size 8-9 for me to wear.
Ladies feel free to PM me for more infomation - just page me if you do!
[QUOTE]So I called them today, because I am not interested in doing a mini shoot, rather a longer one. She said that we can purchase the groupon and use it towards a better package. It would be worth the $225, so basically you are getting $125 of any package! What an awesome deal!!!

I would definitely recommend it if you can swing the $$!
[QUOTE]Ah I'm so excited!! I just bought this & I'm thinking I'm going to upgrade to a different package! I'm so excited... & nervous!... to do this! But I'm committed to it now! Thanks for the heads up! = )

Yay!! :) You will love it, I promise!! They will make you feel super comfortable and are amazing at getting you into perfect poses, etc. So you won't feel nervous after a few minutes!
Thanks! It's great to hear that from someone who has used them! = )
BTW, I was in the same boat... It seems like such a great idea but I too, just couldn't get over the cost! But, I just couldn't pass up this deal & I know it's something that FI will LOVE! Very excited! = )
