Agk...I really think you should do it. It is really cool to look back and see the pictures and I think it is liberating and helps you to appreciate your body when a photographer catches the beauty in something you never even noticed before.

This is exactly why I'm most likely doing it. FI's very supportive, the photographer gives me a great vibe, and I'll make a good chunk of change for standing around. It's really a no-brainer decision I suppose.
I know I'm super late, but I wouldn't do it only because I know I would never get a teaching job for the rest of my life if anyone saw it, with or without my name attached. If I knew I was choosing a career field where that didn't matter, and maybe if I lost several pounds first , I'd probably do it!
There is no way I could do this, since I would lose my teaching job. Plus, with my extra poundage, no photographer today would be interested. Rubens, however, would have loved me.
Beatles, I feel your pain. When I was in high school, my mom had to make all of my formals because the alterations would be more expensive than the dress itself. Back then, my bust was a 14, my waist was a 10, and my hips were an 8. talk about top-heavy. My older daughter (age 11) shows every sign of taking after me bust-wise. She's outgrown her A cups, and is filling out a B almost perfectly. My SIL is the same size.
Thanks for all your answers. I was really hoping to get positve responses and I did. I have to say the poll results are rather interesting: the highest response was for "no way it's for my FI's eyes only." This is how I felt until my FI said I was crazy for not doing it. I suppose we're very liberal though.
I am a little late, but if I had the body for it, and knew it would be tastefully done, I would do it. I'm in a profession where it wouldn't matter, and I don't think anyone would ever want to elect me to political office, so I would go for it. I would be scared to death, but would want to say that I didn't let an opportunity like that pass me up.
DO IT! That's such an awesome experience AGK.
ANd PS: Sara, my wedding dress will have to have sooo many alterations because I am built exactly the way you describe. It makes dress shopping a huge hassle.
I wouldn't just for job security. I work in education and I'm sure someone would recognize me and goodbye any hopes of working in my field again. I know too many people spread too far and wouldn't want to take the chance of it being seen, even without my face attached to it.
If there wasn't a face attached then I might consider it.

Thanks for playing in my first ever poll!

I said yes. I feel that if I were comfortable in my own skin and DH was okay with it, I would strongly consider doing it.
