Who's Doing Boudoir?

Hey ladies!  I'm just curious of who was going to be doing a boudoir shoot?  My photographer and I are doing one when I'm in Vegas the week before the wedding (so obviously FI won't get his album until after the wedding).  I LOVE boudoir!  I've done it twice already (for myself... I love doing it just for myself!) but this will be the first time I do a session with FI in mind.  I'm scrambling to figure out what to wear!

I believe in a lot of things. I believe in fresh tennis balls, the healing power of bunnies, and that the novels of Susan Sontag are something I'll never read. In fact, I don't even know who Susan Sontag is. What is she... like... a painter? I believe in Crystal Lite because I believe in ME. I believe in the movies of Val Kilmer, though these days it ain't so easy. I believe in Darren Sproles, the word "dabble", the first season of "Silk Stockings", and big, warm, moist, gooey chocolate chip cookies that melt in your mouth and all over your face.

Re: Who's Doing Boudoir?

  • I did mine already it was a blast! I did one with his computer in my lap (he's a programmer), I wore his favorite hat in a few,...I wore a lot of cute VS stuff and did some with my repunzal hair covering me and hole-y jeans. My friend's FI is a huge Sci Fi movie guy so she did princess Lei inspired clothes for one and holding his favorite move poster for another.
    Have fun!

  • I am too self-concious to do a boudoir session.  I would have no idea what to do and be totally embarrassed.  But I love hearing everyone's stories and you are slowly inspiring me to give it a try as a 1-year anniversary present!  We'll see :)

    [QUOTE]The thought of someone taking boudoir pics of me is terrifying.  FI likes photography and I think he'd have a blast taking the photos himself so I'm thinking about doing it during our  HM or after the wedding.

    This is a really good idea. I think we may do something like this just for fun. Since I did the shoot, I have a feeling that he'll see the pictures and be bummed that he wasn't there for them! So, I'll offer him the shoot, part dos. :)

    I just wore lots of different lingerie and outfits I knew he'd like. I wore them in a lot of different settings with beautiful backgrounds. I can't wait to get them back!

  • I don't think I could do it. I don't really like having my picture taken to start with. I also am the person who doesn't even wear shorts in the summer so I don't think it is something I could even talk myself into.

    Same here!!!! I would love to do this too.... But don't have the confidence. Maybe for our one year anniversary. Who does it anyway? Our photographer?

  • For the ladies who want to but aren't confident enough... DO IT!  I'm probably what you'd call a boudoir addict (seeing as how this will be my third boudoir experience!).  I love, love, love it and get more confident each time.  Also, it's a great work out!  Plus you feel so beautiful and confident when you're done, like you could rule the world.  It's really kind of neat.

    Some wedding photographers also shoot boudoir, some don't.  So go ahead and ask your photog and see, and if not the easiest way to find a boudoir photographer is to Google it.  Then ask for client reviews or look to see what people are saying online.  Also asking your local board for recommendations.  There are actually a lot of dedicated studios for boudoir popping up lately as it becomes more popular.  Boudoir Divas in San Diego is a good example.   Personally, I would not feel comfortable doing boudoir in front of a man (and I don't think FI would enjoy it, either).  But in front of a female photographer I'll go all out!
