s/o: Boudoir, WWYD? edit---Aggh!

ETA:  Aggh, I just realized that we have tickets to Lollapalooza on the date of this boudoir marathon!  (It'd a huge 3-day music fest in Chicago).  Crap!!  I'm guessing it starts at noon, I need to see if I can be first up for boudoir! Cross your fingers it's early!

So I'm seriously considering signing up for a boudoir session in August (during a location photog's marathon session; she has rave reviews on TK).

It'd ideal timing because i'll be tan from summer and also more in shape b/c I'll be in the middle of marathon training.

She offers a $25 knottie discount (reflected in pricing below)....so which package do I get?  Right now my hair is shoulder length, slightly bobbed/layer. So I'm sure it could be styled, but I'm not sure how much.

Do I just got all out and get everything since I'm already paying a good amount for pics, why not? Which package do you think?

 Package A ? Hair & Makeup Included $325
-    60 minute shoot with unlimited outfit changes
-    On-site hair and makeup
-    Post-processing of all images
-    Color and B&W images (for each photo)
-    DVD of all high-resolution images

Package B ? Makeup Only $275
-    60 minute shoot with unlimited outfit changes
-    On-site makeup only
-     Post-processing of all images
-     Color and B&W images (for each photo)
-     DVD of all high-resolution images

 Package D ? No Hair or Makeup $200

-      60 minute shoot with unlimited outfit changes
-      Post-processing of all images
-      Color and B&W images (for each photo)
-      DVD of all high-resolution images

  • I'd go for the hair and make-up package.  It's not like you're going to do it all the time!

  • Agreed.  Go all out.  Plus, they'll be more daring with your hair and make-up than you probably would, which will boost the pics even more.

    I'm so jealous that you're moving forward with this!  Maybe you'll motivate me.

  • Thanks all! Sounds good! I like the quote Diance!

    Ha, I'm not sure where I'm growing the balls to do this...but I figure it'd better now while I'm young, pre-kids and I know I'll be exercising/training this summer!

     Just do it!!!

    This! I want to do this for 1st anniversary too (after all, traditionally it's the paper one), but I so need to lose weight/get in shape as I've been a total slacker and have gained at least 10 lbs since the wedding if not more.  I'm hoping I'll have an active summer and I get back in shape.  I'm thinking of having a friend actually do the shoot.  Not a professional photographer, but somebody that takes decent pictures and I would feel comfortable posing with.  I could shoot some of her to give to her bf too.  I'm just super self-conscious, especially with being naked/almost naked in front of somebody.

    This is my justification of why I HAVE to do it this summer.  I won't be training for a marathon, but I'm always in my best shape in the summer and the tan.  If I don't do it this year, I most likely never will so I HAVE to.  Bleh. lol

    Exactly, so start looking for someone to take them and sign yourself up sistah!
  • Definitely go for hair and makeup!  I couldn't decide if I was going to do hair and makeup for my TTD, but I am so glad I did!  When you are paying that much for pictures you want to look your best.  Some people are great at doing their own hair and makeup....I am not one of those people.  For me that is best left to the professionals!

  • I did it.  I just called and got the details and BAM.  Aug 13th at 10AM.  She's emailing me the package options.

    I think I'm going to ask my BFF to go with me.  She took photos of me a longggg time ago when my xBF was in Iraq so whatever haha  She's getting married this July so I may convince her to do it as well and either save it for her 1 year or a Christmas gift or something.

    Holy sh!t.

  • Ashlee-- can I ask what you paid?  I wondered if it'd be cheaper in QC...but then again, I feel like everyone knows everyone there and I wouldn't somehow want MIL to hear I did these. Lol

    I had my cop friend that is a photographer do mine and he only charges $150 for a sitting, so that is what it cost, and I got my rights to the pictures. I had my sister do my makeup and my friend do my hair, but I would definitely have paid $325 to have all of it done. I looked into someone in RI that does them and it was going to be $300ish and you only got 5 of the pictures and the sitting was only 30 min, and when I looked at her site I was not impressed. So I would say that you are getting a pretty good deal.

    Wow, ridiculous!  I guess it really is a great deal, thanks!
