so.  i finally manned up and contacted Raw about doing some b-pics.  a friend of mine and I are going to try to do them together.

does anyone have good websites or google searches to find awesome inspiration pics?  i'm going to scour through raw's blog, but i want to go in with more ideas than just theirs...

TIA!

    one thing that I did, what I wore a flannel shirt (DH works on a farm). I had the front open, and cute lace panties...and I'm sure you get it haha.

    What about wearing one of your husbands uniform shirts? something like that?

    Or something to do with one of his hobbies?

    ohhh thanks kim!!  i KNEW someone had a bunch in their bio!!

    i havent heard back from them yet, so i'm not sure how much the price will be.  my friend and i are going to see if we can sort of split the package...so we'll see.  we definitely want to do a few pics together (our boys are good friends) so we're hoping they'll let us sort of buy 1 package, and pay for separate hair/makeup and the finished books or whatever...i'll make sure to post what price they give me though!!

    Aren't those hot?  Love love love.

    Don't love for a photoshoot for the Miss USA contestants, but looove for b-pics!

    Though I'm actually not sure I'm going to do b-pics now.  I was *going* to but my photogs haven't gotten back to me with any info on it, so now I'm thinking I might just buy FI flying lessons for his wedding gift.

    I had a hard time finding some inspiration as well, but I was looking for some plus size ones and I think I found a grand total of like six pictures.  So I just threw caution to the wind and went for it.

    My photog has ton  of fabulous pix on her website/blog/fb if you want to see.  There's even a few of my own.

    But for hobbyish type thing, I did a Red Sux (err sox ) jersey for DH and a red corset we did the whole pix in black in white except the red, it was awesome.

    Jenny - I love the inspiration you posted, too!!

    Maybe it's cliche (and not so b-pic-ish), but I actually really like the Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush shoot. To me, it just screams sexy... !!
