Boudoir Photogs

Boudoir Photogs, Should I or shouldn't I? Any thoughts? I would really like to give this as a gift to my fh. Do you feel that the pictures are real secure on the web? I know they give you your own password but i just wouldn't want them to be out there for everyone to see. And are they good at covering up any proplem areas, so that you look super sexy?

Do it. I had many of the same concerns. I had my boudoir shoot with Dott Photography / I See Sexy in Vegas. I didn't do any nude shots but let me tell you I have never looked or felt more gorgeous in my life. I still can't stop looking at my pictures and I wish I didn't have to wait another 2 months to give the album to FI. I'm a pretty shy / insecure person and this was a HUGE confidence booster for me. It is a password protected site so I wouldn't be too concerned about the pictures popping up anywhere, unless you give your photog permission to post on her blog. ETA - your photog will also touch up your photos to smooth out any skin persecuting (blemishes, discoloring, cellulite, etc.)

I would do it.  I saw one where a bride was wearing white bra & panties and her veil, and it was gorgeous and sexy at the same time.

I think it all depends on the photographer and your own comfort zone.  And there's no shame in drinking a glass of wine first, just don't overdo it. 

I'll probably do these if I have the funds, but that's an if.  I casually mentioned the idea by my FI and he didn't seem to get it:  "Why do I need photos like that when I can see you any time I want to?"  Because sometimes I go to work, I usually have clothes on, reasons like that.  LOL.

The glass of champagne my photog gave me definitely helped! :)

Thanks Ladies!! I'm going to do it. My bestfriend is gonna go with me and help me through it. But I think I'll be ok with the comfort part. I just really want them to look good. I'm not super skinny, and I don't want my stomach to show in the pics. lol

A good photographer will also pose you in flattering positions - I was actually sore after my shoot, it's almost like a pilates workout because you really end up stretching. Check out <a href="http://www.blog.iseesexy.com" rel='nofollow'>www.blog.iseesexy.com</a> and go through her blog posts, you'll see all sorts of shapes and sizes and they're all gorgeous! Have fun!
