I am so tempted to do this! What girls here have tried Boudoir??
I want to have the guts to be able to do it because the Fiance is leaving to his bachlore's on the 25th, but the more i look at my stretch marks everywhere and not having a perfect body, backs me down.
Has any one tried wedding boudoir??
Let me know your experience and how you felt, maybe you can convince me to do it ; )
I only have 28 DAYS LEFT!!!! YAY!!
I have far less than a perfect figure girls and I felt like a million bucks.
@nasha, girl, there's photoshop for the mommy marks and you're SMOKIN! DOOOO IT!

"So girls, the shoot is over. I am sore, my eyes are totally tired, but it was a success! The photographer was amazing, so helpful, so great at guiding me at how I should pose. I am a small and yet curvy girl, so not every inspiration pose I had will work for me, but she def found poses that would work and looked great. I only saw 5 pics she took during the shoot, esp when she wanted to encourage me that it was worth it. I never doubted it and it was fun, but when I followed her direction in a weird pose or when she was telling me how to relax my face, she showed me a pic of how good it looked.
Girls, let me tell you, that these pics are not only for your man, they are for YOU! To know and see how hot you are and can be, it's almost like it gives you a look into your inner vixen lolol. I was so confident walking around after that shoot and I just felt fabulous the rest of the day. :) I think I wanna do these again at my ideal weight lol.
I totally did one of the hat pics, Mark has this fedora I drool over and so I took it with me. I am soooo excited to see those and all of them! EEEE!
Tips:
Drink lots of water. Under those lights, you get hot and feel really tired. Not too much that you have to leave the shoot though lol.
Find a photographer you are comfortable with. Especially for pics like these, that makes all the difference. Make sure they have experience shooting different people. This photographer KNEW how to make me look amazing, but she could take a girl of any size, shape, etc and make them look awesome. Besides that, she put me right at ease about doing these. She was easy to talk to, and the shoot was fun that way, not just all flashing and ordering me around.
Breathe through your mouth. Lets your face relax. And your mouth parts open ever so slightly, and if you're like me (a goof at heart) and don't know how to look sexy on demand, this will help! LOL
Close and open your eyes frequently. Your eyes will get tired after all the flashes and you don't want squinty pics lol. I am a crazy blinker and photographers sometimes get very irritated with me. Nicole was awesome and would tell me to close my eyes and as soon as I opened them again, she would take the pic.
Have the photog make a playlist of fun music. Keeps the mood light-hearted and fun. If they can't make one, ask if you can bring one. Nicole had a fab playlist that I am trying to remember for the wedding. I really loosened up with that music going. Burst into dance a couple times lol
Bring lots of options for clothes. The more the better. We had time for 6 changes I believe. Esp. one thing your hubby will easily identify as his, or anything he loves you in. Mark loooves these yoga shorts I have. Weird I know, but hey, I took em, and we took some cute pics with them. ;)
Have fun! This is totally a fun shoot, just try and have fun with it. And ask to see the pics, when you see how hot you are, you'll want to keep going!"
If there is anything you are worried about showing up (like stretch marks etc) just tell your photographer. So much can be done it the editing process plus a good photographer will be able to highlight your best features and down play the ones you are worried about.
I say do it! You won't have your youthful body forever and this way you will have proof that you were once a goddess! ;) Even if he s the only one that ever sees them. hehe
