So I mentioned a few months back that I had purchased a Groupon for a Boudoir photo shoot, that I was going to use for FI's wedding gift. Well, I had my shoot yesterday!!
It was such an amazing experience and I couldn't be happier with how everything went! My photographer was awesome, and she made me feel so comfortable and safe that I had absolutely no problems stripping down to my undies for her and the camera! I went in completely nervous and not knowing what to expect, that I almost cancelled my session a few times. But I'm so glad I didn't .
Also, I recently lost 25 lbs, so I'm still in that stage where I don't feel like I lost the weight and am uncomfortable with myself. But after seeing the pictures, I have gained so much more confidence. The photographer made me look so good!
If anyone is interested/thinking about doing this for their FI, I highly recommend absolutely doing it! If you're in the NYC/tri-state area, this is the photographer I used, and I can't praise her enough!
