B-pics?

I have to admit that when I first started reading on this board and saw all of this stuff about boudoir pics I thought it was crazy. But the more I think about it and look at the ones you've all had done, it looks like fun and it seems like it'd be a great confidence booster. But here's my question: What do you do with the pics afterward? It's not like you'd put them up on the wall in your house. (Well, maybe some folks might, but not us - especially with a 5 year old at home!) I would hate to spend a lot of money on something like that and then feel like it was a waste later because the pictures just sat in a drawer. I'm guessing that you would need to have your own sexy little things to wear, and I don't really have anything like that (nor would I know what to look for or get) so I'd have to spend money on outfits/accessories, and then the makeup and pics themselves... ? What are your thoughts? And what did you and your FI do with the pics afterward?

    I loved doing bpics and it made me SO much more comfortable with my body and how it looks now :-)  When you get them done what you pay for (which is usually $300-400) that includes hair and make up, all your pics, and an album but yes you would need to get sexy little things to wear if you want.  The photographer that did my pics and tons of other knotties has little things you can borrow and props and heels.  I just got lots of lacey bras and panties and used stuff I got from my bridal shower and well most of my pictures I was totally naked and covered by a sheet so you really don't need to spend much money on that stuff.And what did we do with the pics afterward?  Well I had an album made and gave it to my H for his birthday.  Where is that album now?  Sitting next to our wedding album in our living room lol.  But even though it probably isn't looked at very often I am so glad I did them because of how much more comfortable I am with myself and my body.  I would do them again in a heartbeat !

    Ditto what PP said.  I'm giving FI an album as his wedding gift and I know he's going to love it.  It was also a great experience for me.  You'll get your pix back and think, Damn I'm hott!I spent money on sexy things to wear, but I got use out of them afterward.

    Honestly, DH hardly ever looks at the books, but he downloaded all the pics onto his computer and he looks at those all the time, especially when he's away on business and stuff.  Sometimes he'll put one up as his desktop background on a week when we don't have the kids!

    LOL skhynes, that's great. So an album makes more sense than prints... I think I can roll with that. I think I would have to have someone take me shopping and show me what to try on/buy. I'm such a dork. ;)

    Alyssa- I was a little overwhelmed with my choices of lingerie and what I should buy, but the girl at Fredericks of Hollywood was extremely helpful.  I told her what I needed the lingerie for and she had tons of suggestions.  I'm sure the girls on this board will also help you with suggestions.

    Thanks for the tip, cherriterri. I looked on the Frederick's website a little bit... it seems like all of their stuff starts at a B-cup, and I'm def. a 32A. Did I miss something? Or is there another local shoppe that would be a good place to start?

    I just checked the Fredericks website and they had 32A and also stuff in extra small.  I don't live in Orlando, so I can't suggest any local shops, but I did get a bra and panty set at Macy's.  I also got a pair of boy shorts with Mrs. [FI's last name] on the back.  I found those on the internet (I think I googled "mrs rhinestone panties" or something like that).  I don't know if you saw my Bpix, but one of my outfits was one of FI's button down shirts.  So that might be an option for you as well.

    Ok thanks for the tips. And yes, I saw the shirt-pics. Those were cute!
