One thing I wanted to add that may or may not be relevant to your own situation, but I think the element of surprise has been key to making this fun and workable for me...to get past some of my anxiety and self-consciousness.
As I get older, I learn more and more about just how men are wired and think. If I even remotely hint at the possibility of taking pics, then his over-active imagination is going to kick in and he'll create all sorts of mental images and fantasies that would then just completely crush my adventurous spirit because I'd be sooooo worried I wouldn't live up to them. So, yeah, I totally have to keep it a surprise or I'd chicken out.
