What is the purpose of Boudoir Photos?

I have no answer for your questions/post. I'm from the midwest and this isn't something we do around here...well as far as I know of anyways. I honestly hadn't even heard of it until I found this website and it seems a lot of people do them.

I haven't decided if i'm going to do boudoir pics or not. I did them a couple years ago for FH because we were in a long distance relationship because of school. They were just something to help him out when he got really lonely. And he absolutely loved them! He still has them on his laptop and says he looks at them once in a while because he loves that I would go out of my way to do something so special for him. He'd never show his friends and even if he did, I looked good and there was no nudity at all. I think it wouldn't bug me or him if it was a male photographer, I mean he trusts me or he wouldn't be marrying me. And last, if the marriage doesn't work out he can keep them. I don't know if he'd want to tho.

I was contemplating it. I think I would get it done cuz its a good excuse to let your inner sex goddess come out, and to give your hubby a gift that doesnt come everyday lol. I honestly would do it more for myself then anything.. i think it be fun, and its a good excuse to do it. Would i blow it up and put it on my wall? no lol. I would prob keep an album and show close friends and hubby..making sure its all tastefull, and yea..it be more for me as a confidence booster and something fun to do

I want to know too Rhonda. I mean he already have you.. in the flesh.. so why would he want a half naked "photo" of you.  When  "boudoir photos" come to my mind I think about men looking at half naked women...that they know they can't have...in magazines.

I am going to do them! I know that 20 years from now, heck even 10, I will not have this hot bod, lol.  So, I want to take some of the most amazing sexy photos for both of us to look back and remember.  Yes he has me for forever, and when we are 40 and 50 he will still have a hot 26 year old to look at :).  While I do think every woman is beautiful in her own way, I don't however honestly feel everyone can pull off boudoir photos.

I really have no intention on mine being classy, I want straight sexy for mine.  Like deneanrae said, I want to show a inner sexy goodess that will never be able to come out like this again.  Think when we put on lingerie, do we really go all out to do our hair and make up? and if we do, do you have a picture to remember how smoking hot you were?

For his I am going to do two themes, I am a therapist, so I want to do a sexy therapist scene with the bun, glasses, and tight pencil skirt, and gradually decrease from there.  And the second scene I want to do a University of Floridas thing.  One in the bikini, one in the jersey with the cute boy shorts and a football, etc.

I am soooooo super excited about doing it.  I am going to put in long hair, eye lashes, contacts, and become this other person.  So in essense it won't be "me." The only problem is going to be when he ask, "why don't you dress up like that again," or "where is that hair, put that back in" LOL!

I think personally it's more of a confidence booster for the woman. They may sit in a closet for 30 years, but to pull that book out when she's 50...

It's a nice surprise for the guy, as most of the time that you get all dressed up in those cute little outfits (or his t-shirt) it doesn't stay on very long, where as now you have a lasting image.

I haven't had them done yet, but after my son is born in March and before we get married in November, I will be getting them done. It's definitely more for me then him... but he might as well get to enjoy them while he can.

I will be using a female photographer, without a doubt. No offense to men photographers but I have no interest in taking my clothes off in front of another man. :)

Ok I'm going to say something that some of you might not like so please don't get mad at me. Me and my fiance have talked a lot about male nature. Men are visual and they like variety. Now I'm not saying that's an excuse for men to go around staring at other women or cheating or anything like that. All I'm saying is that most men if not all men would probably like the idea of their wife or future wife to give them sexy pictures of them.

I'm not going to do boudoir pics though. I do know that my fiance would not be alright with the idea of a male photographer if I did decide to do it though. Right now me and my fiance are doing the long distance thing so I do send him boudoir type pictures. I just take them myself and I know that he wouldn't share those with anyone.

Even though I'm leaving my husband, I'm still planning on doing boudoir pics... Its not for anyone else but myself- just a bit of an ego boost. And I'm pretty shameless so I'll probably blow the best one up and hang it in my bedroom... and I'll probably post the less risque ones on facebook. The photographer I've been talking with for a few years about doing this is a guy- but its what he does for a living and I know he'll be totally professional. Honestly, I'd probably be more comfortable with a male photographer than I would be with a woman- I'm not sure why, just always have been more comfortable around men in general. I've been tossing around the idea of getting into modeling anyway, so I figure I'll use this to test the water and see if I'm even really THAT interested in pursuing it.

... then again, I'm also the girl who seriously considered being a burlesque dancer as a hobby, so it sort of makes sense that I'd go for doing something like boudoir photos.

I did boudoir photos, my photographer did them up in a small coffee table style book that's very discreet and I had a couple of my favorites done in wallet size. FH goes on the road a lot for work, so I think its a fun thing to do for him and I know he will love it. Everything is tasteful in my opinion so if he chooses to show anyone I am fine with it, I think they are pretty awesome. If marriage doesn't work out I'd let him keep them, they just look like portfolio photos, nothing dirty :)

I guess it would just depend on the couple, my fiance would love something like this. I would not get a large picture blown up while it would be in a little black book to put away i am considering doing the like one of the brides said to let your inner sex goddess comes out. It's only a tease, and because my fiance is a baseball player he would enjoy these. He would never show any pne because that's personal for the both of us.
