I won a bourdoir shoot at one of the bridal shows I attended. I still haven't made an appointment, I don't know that I will because after doing some research on the company that I would have to do the shoot with their photography style just isn't really "me". I like photos like the ones @sugargirl1019 posted, and the company that I won the photo shoot with is just more so "stripper heels"and such and that just really isn't me. But it's free.... and I love to save money haha...My wedding photographer does them, but I just haven't decided whether I'm going to do it or not.
Make a private hidden pinterest board of boudoir pictures you like. Bring them to your free session, and show what you do and do not want to look like.
Thanks for reminding me. I've got to book mine. I know FH will love it and many of my guy friends have told me they really loved the ones their wives gave them. It's not porno; it's Pinterest!
Well FI always enjoys receiving pictures like that, might as well get some professionally done and not blurry because selfies are fucking hard to do when you're trying to include more than just your face. Ugh it's so hard. I just keep awkwardly stretching out my arm, looking, deleting, more awkward arm stretches, oh, I was making a really annoyed face in this one because this is attempt #20 and I'm mad at my camera, lets try smiling this time, and after like 30 tries I will have one decent picture :P
I definitely want to do a boudoir shoot. I have this bra from Kinga and a black waist cincher/corset thing that I feel really good in. I'll also shamelessly admit that I feel like a hot tamale right now because I just dyed my hair and it came out AWESOME. I have fuchsia hair (BRIGHT Fuchsia) with a deep violet on the underside, and the whole thing is short so I just feel pretty badass right now. And when I feel badass, I feel sexy. That's what you get when you idolize female superheroes lol.
I didn't but now I'm kinda wishing I had! I like the idea of "look how hot I was 30 years ago" lol
Nothing saying you can't do it now! They're not just a "before the wedding" thing. You could make it a first Christmas or anniversary present. Or talk him into a couple's session!
DH wanted me to do them and asked me several times. Several times, I had to tell him how uncomfortable I was with the idea.
You know Cecile in Cruel Intentions? "Show me sexy..." Yeah. I feel like her. Not sexy. ("This doesn't taste like iced tea.")
I know of two friends that did them. One, her now-FI bought them for her as a way to try to help her boost her confidence. She did it, but was still uncomfortable. The other was happy-as-a-clam to do pinup style.
To each their own! I give a lot of credit to those who can have a classy good time with them.
Are you going to do one when you feel better Jells, or is it completely off the books?
You guys say "dude-oir"; I think of this:
FI asked if he could take some on our wedding night. I said I'd think about it as long as the electronic files live only on my computer. I'm 100% comfortable with him having them, but 100% not comfortable with anyone else seeing them.
It's totally off the books. It took me forever to be fully confident and now my body will never be the same. I am hoping to have some laser scar repair work done, but they'll always be there in some form.
I have a very unattractive scar on my left breast from a lumpectomy. The surgeon didn't sew it carefully, so the skin folded over and bubbled. For months afterward, I wouldn't take off my bra during intimate times because I didn't want H to see it. I felt so unsexy and unwomanly, and I thought I'd never be beautiful again.
Four years later, I am considering doing a topless photo shoot to show it off, to show that survivors are beautiful. Those scars might mar your skin, but they also show that you are strong. I hope that one day you look at them and remember that you beat this thing and are proud of that. They only enhance your beauty.

Thank you for sharing that with me. I need to hear things like that. I have a few scars, the worst of which is right down the middle of my chest. It's not as bad or a long as an open heart surgery scar, but it's still big. It just stares me down in the mirror. LOL
All photogs go through this phase in college so I already have boudoir type photos from back then...no way my 35 year old self could compete with me at 21. And back then I processed my own film and prints, so no leaks and only hard copy artsy black and whites ;-)

LOL, that is exactly how I felt, haha. Not my photographer's fault at all, she was amazing. I just felt like a moron the whole time! But then, I pretty much feel like that all the time I'm supposed to look pretty/hot whatever. I bartended through university and while I am a very good bartender, I was the WORST at being flirty or trying to look good while I did it. Thank god fiance doesn't mind that I have the charisma of a pile of gravel.

I bet you and all the other ladies saying they aren't good looking enough for the photos are big fat liars and could rock it just like any little 21 year old.

That could be true in a few months from now. If I had to do photos today there'd be a whole lot of photoshopping going on- hair, eyebrows, stomach, swollen face, scars...
I will say...I was at my heaviest when I had my last shoot. I'm a full 50 lbs heavier than I was at 21. But looking at those pics I feel GOOD. I like the curves. And for those shots where she'd tell me "pretend your FI is behind this camera" you can see it in my face.
I've done a lot of different nekki pics. And some straight up for FI boudoir shots. I seriously lack modesty.
Actually talking about scars reminded me of a series I was in for an artist friend of mine. She wanted to show "The Beauty of Woman" or something like that, and the idea was different women all being their sexy selves and how sexy and beautiful and woman meant so many different things.
So there was kind of androgynous, tattooed me, a butch girl, tall women, short women, heavy women, girly women, all in various states undress. And then she had one woman who'd had a single mastectomy and one who'd had a double, both posing shirtless facing the camera head on. It was one of the best photos I've ever seen. And so gorgeous.

Ok I totally want to do these. Now.
I'm thinking of doing some boudoir shots for FI for Christmas this year. I've done ones in the past but none exclusively for him.
Yeah... I considered it, but I have a very hard time feeling attractive in clothes, much less in lingerie. I wear a t-shirt and shorts over my swimsuit.
I might look at some in jerseys. I could comfortably do that, I think. But in general I just don't think I'd like them, and I'd never give them to him.
I had a dear friend who was going through a nasty divorce. She arrived at her office one day to find that her soon-to-be-ex had taped her boudoir photos all over the office. I really don't think those pictures are a good idea. You never know what the future will bring. Also, I'm pretty sure that my DH's memory is more flattering than my body actually was!

That's a pretty ridiculous thing to plan ahead for. If we can't trust our spouses then what's the point of even being together? He could just as easily have taken naked pictures of her sleeping or in the shower if he wanted to be an unmitigated dickbag.

It's unfortunate she married someone untrustworthy and childish.
ZOMG guys, but my pictures might end up on the internet. Oh wait, they already are, because I signed a model release. The horror of a stranger seeing my upper thigh.

This is how little I care. Here you go.
OH GAWD, there's more!
They're harmless.
BURN THE HARLOT
For real you are hottttt!!!! I love your brown hair too!
It's time for us women to stop being so ashamed to be human! I will show off my beautiful body, because I worked very hard to be happy with it!!!!! The whole world could see for all I care. EVEN THE POPE CAN SEE!!!!
Is that you lolo?? Omgsh so pretty! Well I might take a picture of mine then and share. Not to compete, just to show everyone that it's covered up more than bikinis!

I need to get home first.
SHARE, SHARE, SHARE!
Yes that's me. The dark hair was like... 3.5 years ago? Blonde one was this summer.

Oh, for god's sake.
1) That was a pretty out there thing for him to do. Most grown men do not act like this.
2) Even if this were remotely possible; who cares? This made him look bad, not her.
Are those a picture from each of the sessions you did? I only knew you as a blonde from your wedding website.
I love the garter. I wish I remembered to bring my garter for mine, but I remembered 20 pairs of panties instead.
