Awkward?

Our family photographer has been trying all different things to get more business and today I noticed an interesting concept she came up with, a Boudoir Portrait Party.  She has a sign up on her FB page and one date so I'm assuming it would friends and strangers together or whoever signed up. It says there will be treats, wine and appetizers while the women take turns having their photos taken. Now I may be ok if I was doing this with close friends but I think I would feel really weird going to a boudoir party to have my sexy pictures taken with a bunch of strangers around. Would you feel weird going to something like this or am I just a prude? ha ha

Re: Awkward?

  • I think it's actually pretty common because most women don't want to pay for the session all on their own.  I remember people randomly posting on TK about it.

    That said, I wouldn't do it.  But I also wouldn't do it by myself, so...
  • Thats true, the price is much lower than the single session. I think I saw a single session is $500 but the group is $200.

  • Yea I know girls that did it together got cheaper. They seem to have fun.

    Eh, I'm fine being half naked in front of other women, no different than changing in the gym locker room. At least then I've got my hair and makeup done, and not a sweety mess.

  • I don't know. I used to bartend in a corset so I guess I could do this if I had to. I'm with Janet though. I probably would never do this, even by myself.

  • It's not my cup of tea, but I'm pretty comfortable around my girlfriends. I've been changing in front of some of them since like 7th grade. If I was super skinny it and in shape I might do it if there was alcohol involved.

    Totally not my thing. I've always been a "prude", but you think having kids would change that after knowing what people see when giving birth. ;)

     

  • I would do something like that but only with my friends. I dont have a problem changing in front of women in general because its seriously not anything pretty to see.

    I have always wanted to do something like that for DH, but for that kind of money, what would we do with all the pictures? Besides make a "spank book" I think it would be a waste of money. Its not like hes going to flip open his wallet and be like " look at these photos of my half naked wife"

  •  I dont think its the changing in front of people that bothers me as much as trying to do sexy poses in front of them lol The other thing, yea I would be totally paranoid of my kids finding the book or anyone in my house!
