I'm so excited about this! A bit nervous though - I'm really not a fan of my body at all - and pretty shy, anyone got any pointers to hellp a girl get through this? I just know he's going to love this though, so I really want to do it!
The best pointer I can give you is to try and relax. So much easier said than done, I know.
I will tell you this I am not comfortable with my body but I know fi loves it. On my way to do this pics I though I was going to have to pull over and throw up because I was so nervous. When I go there I was able to relax because kim is so amazing. She talked to me like we had been friends for ever and made it all seem so normal. She listens to you and does what you are comfortable with.
She also made me look amazing,
My favorite thing about using her was that night she sent me all 100 pictures she took. I was able to look at them and chose the 35 I wanted her to fully edit.
oh, too bad it's over! I had Kim do mine the last time the LS had a deal for her (or maybe it was Groupon...), and it was great! She was so efficient, and I loved my pictures. I also got them back soooo fast. And I loved how I actually got the full images and didn't have to pay extra for prints!
I've occasionally wondered... since for things like Living Social and Groupon, I believe that the vendor only gets like 50% of what you actually pay. So assuming a service that's normally $300 is available for $100 on LS, the vendor will actually only get $50.
So wouldn't it be worth your while to call the vendor after the deal and say, "listen, I know you just had this deal, and I also know you wouldn't have gotten all that money, cuz LS would have gotten part of it. What if I just give you $100 for that same service?"
I suppose one of the reasons LS would be good to go through is that you have their guarantee as a company, so it's not really risky. hmmm... just wondering.
The deal was awhile ago but I had to update this because I had my shoot yesterday. I bought the Living Social deal but paid extra for hair/makeup and another outfit. Worth every penny!! I haven't seen the final pictures yet but she showed them to me on her camera and I have to say she is AMAZING! I'd recommend it to any bride-to-be because I really can't think of a better gift for the groom ; )

Even without the deal I think the prices are pretty reasonable and I promise you, totally worth it!!! I don't look "sexy" like that every day- actually never!! Haha. I know my groom will love them more than a watch or other traditional gift, ya know?
I am so glad I came across this subject. I am having my photos taken by Kim - she is going to do both bridal and boudoir for me. From our e-mails back and forth she seems fantastic and all the positive postings here sure support that. I'm having my photos done in 4 weeks, so I'm really looking forward to it.

ETA: Do you know the turn around time on prints?
I hope they do another one soon.
