Glamour Shots

So, DH's birthday is October 12th and he has informed me that "all he wants" is glamour shot type photos.  Quite frankly, this just makes me want to throw up, but I guess I should just take it as a compliment that DH loves me the way I am. 

With that said, I need some help.  I really don't want to go to Glamour Shots and I also don't really want to take boudoir photos either because I don't feel comfortable in lingerie.  Ideas?  Also, where do I go or who would you recommend?  Is this even possibly with less than 2 weeks to go? TIA!!!

Re: Glamour Shots

  • I bet if you found a good photographer and explained this to them, they could give you some ideas.

  • FWIW, GS changed their style a few years ago. It's no longer the gaudy makeup, big hair, and ridiculous outfits. In fact, they ask you to bring your own clothes. They do the hair and makeup how you want (natural, glam, etc.). My dad bought my mom GS about 4 years ago and it was completely different than my experience back when I was 13 (and yes, when I was 13, it did involve big hair and feather boas!).
    We have so much time, and so little to do! Strike that, reverse it.

    What was wrong with our parents?! Why did they think this was okay for us at 13?! I don't think anyone besides me and my parents have photographic evidence of mine! I would kill someone for putting them up on facebook!

  • i've never understood the hand under the chin thing.

  • Keri, that is hilarious! Hahahaha!

    I also don't get the hand under the chin thing. It's probably a more useful pose once you are older and have either a double chin or a turkey wattle.  

    I also seem to recall a "touch the brim of your wide hat" Glamour Shot pose.

    Eh, I guess I didn't mind so much putting it on FB...I thought I looked a like a cute little 13 year old hooker! haha...I don't think I had any brim of the hat pics but I know my sis did...or maybe I'm thinking of her brown bomber jacket glamour shot pics...

  • I always wanted to have these done but my parents wouldn't' let me.  Now I am VERY thankful!  Also, there are more than enough embarrassing photos of me out there anyway I'm sure.
