Boudoir photos

I am having photos taken on friday. I am really excited! Has anyone done these, any tips? Stuf fyou really liked or wouldnt recommend? I mostly have my outfits picked.

Re: Boudoir photos

  • Don't wear a bra or tight fitting clothing the day of, otherwise you might have marks from them, etc.  Other than that just have fun, relax, and enjoy being yourself!  
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • Depending on the location (I did mine in a hotel room) bring a bathing suit - the pics of me in the shower turned out AMAZING.

    Make sure to steal some item of his clothing to wear it - maybe a dress shirt paired with some pearls?

    Bring a pair of heels. Even if they're not in the pictures, any of you standing up will look better because the heels make your legs and butt clench (in the good way like you're toned, not in the constipated way!)

  • just relax and have fun! bring a variety of outifts and accessories. 

    I was lucky that my make-up artist worked with my photographers, so she helped do my hair and makeup in between outfits. I didn't bring jewelry as I don't really wear much, but the photographer had some with her so I was able to change earrings and necklaces with the different outfits as well! 

    Have fun!

  • If you're nervous about it, get a little buzzed first. I DIYed my boudoir book with the help of a friend and I had some wine before she started snapping pictures.
  • No advice, just a question. This sounds like a lot of fun, but I was just wondering; what do you do with the photos? Are they just to keep for when we age? I would love to do some, was just wondering the practicality of it.

  • If he has a favorite sports team, you could try and incorporate that as well - DH's favorite pics are the ones of me in his Vikings jersey.  :)
  •   May as well go ahead when all the prep work and expense has been incurred.And take a few photos that go from mild to wild. My DH still on occasion uses my "best" photos for inspiration if I'm out of town, tired or if aunt flow is visiting.  
  • Show nipple and bush he'll really like that. Man I love premarriage porn!?

  • Make a playlist of music that gets you moving and makes you feel sexy.  Without the music it was a little awkward just hearing the camera clicking.  I agree about the sports team, DH liked those the best too.  
  • I've seen some really gorgeous classy ones that incorporated lots of accessories, like strands of long pearl necklaces, hats, etc.  Just do whatever makes you feel the most confident & comfortable and let the photographer do the rest - it's their job to make you look fab!

    Have fun!  You should post about your experience afterwards, if you recommend, tips, etc. 

  • A couple of friends and I just did the photos as christmas presents for our husbands this past year.  We had a blast doing in as quality girl time.  I took all mine and put them in a special flip book for my husband, since my sex drive is almost never there.  He called it his special book.  I highly recommend that every woman should do this atleast once in there life, just for the experience.
