I need help!

I'm taking B-pics 2 weeks from today as a gift for H's H/C! I am SUPER excited, but I'm having trouble finding images to help me describe to my (amazing) photographer what I'm looking for. So far, I pretty much only have this 

http://www.racysteeves.com/2009/12/12/miss-cassidy/ (NSFW, obv.)

I want that feel, especially the stuff towards the bottom. Does anyone have a blog post for BPics saved/pinned that they really like? 

I've seen a lot of military surprise homecomings. It wouldn't work on me. I always have my back to the corner and my face to the door. Looking for terrorists, criminals, various other threats, and husbands.

Re: I need help!

  • I don't have any blogs saved ATM, but I'm completely in love with the idea of a long strand of pearls or a bunch of necklaces together. And a girlfriend of mine did a few shots topless in just her jeans--they were really hot.

    I think I might do that in a pair of cutoffs!

  • I did sometime similar of the ones toward the bottom. Let me see if I can find them.

    ETA - I text some to you. :)

    I did them for his birthday while he was deployed.

  • I can't even be that sexy for H, there is no way in hell I can be that sexy for a camera.

    The photog who did mine helped me relax, he was funny, assured me that he was a pro and was gay(lol) and encouraged me to bring a bottle of my choice of wine. He and I sat and chatted over a bottle of wine while his assistant did my hair/makeup.

    I've never met my photographer, but all our interactions have been amazing, and I've known people who have worked with her and love her. Plus, I'm bringing a friend. I think it's going to be awesome, and Brandie, I highly recommend buying a whole bunch of hot lingerie next time YH is gone, and prancing around the house. Very good for the self esteem.

  • My photographer has a website with his b-pics (http://forhiseyesonly.com/). LOVE LOVE LOVE mine! (DH likes them too) ;)

    Wowza! A lot of those are really hot! H wouldn't want me using his uniforms (and let's be honest, I look like a little kid in his flight suit, but if he were a fire fighter or something, I'd be on it, because those are hot!

  • Stan, OMG you are going to look hot.  That's all I can add to the conversation.
    Shot first, questions later.
  • Thanks Margot!

  • Stan, who are you using?  Just curious, I had mine done in '05 when I first moved out here.  Now my photog's BD pic business has exploded and it's so expensive! 
  • She's Nest famous, so I don't mind advertising for her. She's not cheap, but since I *know* her from online, see how talented she is on a daily basis, I already feel like it's so worth it. Also, she's like a year away from exploding into the big leagues, so I still feel like I'm getting in on the ground floor. And she won't blog my pics, which makes me feel relieved, lol.

    I also looked at boudoir modern .com (I don't want to hyperlink her on purpose) whose work I really liked. She didn't have dates that worked with my schedule and the date I needed the photos back. And I'll be honest, just based on a couple emails, I didn't see myself being comfortable with her.

    ETA: Everyone around where we are is pretty much either a fauxtographer (military wives generally) or really expensive, so I looked inland a bit.

  • Cool.  I think the girl I went to takes amazing photos so you may want to browse her for ideas: it's boudoir divas.

    Not anymore! haha. It was like 7 years ago! crazy it has been that long. I am pretty sure I only paid like $350 and got 2 8x10s and a 4x6 album! Now the prices are insane!
  • Those are beautiful!  They will turn out so great!  

    ETA:  I removed my comment on the frontal, I guess that's the point of b-pics!

  • They are going to be amazing Stanny!

    I just asked E if he would like me to do some. Answer " It would be nice but they are expensive and I get to see you whenever I want so I don't really need pictures". 

    I might just do them at some point to feel good about myself. I'm sort of like Brandie and not so good at being sexy for E ever.

  • iseesexy.com is the only one I can think of right now. I pulled some of my inspirations from there. I think it's nice to have something of your H's maybe a shirt or a Jersey? I wore one of H's long sleeved dress shirts with matching undies and pulled off a hot look that way. Bed pictures in plain sheets are also really hot! I also had some shots where I wore a kimono. If you shoot me a PM or FB I can show you some pictures! But you will seriously look so hot and will rock that photoshoot!

    I wanted to wear a jersey, but I'm the sports fan, lol. So he can wear a Giants jersey in the b-pics he takes for me! I did recently buy a red "REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT" tank that I think I'm going to wear. And I'm going to FB you!

     Definitely wear that tank then! With sexy panties, it'll look good! :p I wore some lingerie but I think some of the best pictures are when women are just in panties and bras too.

    Boys. SMH. But you should do them A! I've been getting self esteem just by choosing and trying on stuff!
