I am so excited! You guys gave me the BEST idea. Mine and Jonathan's 10 year anniversary is in September. I think I should do a professional sexy photo shoot for him! He would love it!!!! Yay! I have been wondering what in the world I was going to get him.

Omg. Glamour Shots. My uncle used to work there! When I was a little girl, I got all dolled up like Sandi in Grease (leather Sandi, not good-girl Sandi) and got my picture taken. I was like... 5 or 6.

I totally think you should still do it. I'm sure your DH finds you sexy just as you are and well, with the right outfits and photoshop.....we can all be sexy! Thank goodness for photoshop cuz my pics will need it.

Oh, I totally should try this, too! After a good time in a long distance relationship before BF moved here, there is definitely enough naughty stuff on his computer anyway to not make me think of where the photos might end up. LOL

I have been itching to do some boudoir pictures of myself but my self confidence is WAY down since having Kennedy. Thank you stretch marks, extra baby flab. Although I do have photoshop and I am PRETTY good at using it. lol I really just need to get my butt in gear and tone up my tummy and I'd be happy.
Anywho enough rambling. I have a board on pinterest of boudoir shots that I want to do. I told my bestie that I need her to come over and man the camera for me. I'll set up everything, all she has to do is press the button. I've also thought about just using my tripod and remote. But first I need some new underwear and lingerie and some white sheets. (what kind of a person doesn't have white sheets of any kind? THIS GIRL!)

I didn't even shoot on my 'real' bed. I set up the blow-up mattress in front of our largest window and threw out a puffy white comforter that I bought at Ross, specifically for photo shoots (I used it this winter for a kids' PJ party themed shoot) Here is one of my favorite blog posts about boudoir shoots. http://www.undressedimagery.com/?p=233 (PS her blog is pretty dang awesome too for boudoir inspiration)

Oh my gosh you guys. I don't know why it never even occurred to me to do this, evah! I think I might feel too embarrassed trying to pose and stuff, like it would be very obvious that I am trying way hard, lol.

There's a bit of self-discovery in doing this. It helps me to define what I find as sexy and what he finds as sexy. We sometimes end up in fits of laughter because what might work for others doesn't work for us. Other times, he rushes home from work if at all possible. It's just a fun, new chapter in our lives that I'm thrilled about. |

I think a fun kit for this would be awesome too!!!

ROTFL!
Krystal, that will NOT be the theme of our collab. Just. So. You. Know. ::snarf:: |

My arm could be twisted... with the right color scheme, of course. |

That's quite all right, darling, I have loads of shabby, sex-less ideas waiting to share with you.

I don't have any white sheets either. I need a set. I need a whole studio actually and tons of props. Gotta have something to distract from the disaster that is me. Really though, DH tells me every day how sexy I am. I shudder most days when he says it because I just don't have the confidence but I'm sure glad he feels the way he does.
That said, our 14th anniversary is in May. I might try to do something for him. A friend of mine did a book for her husband and it was just body parts done provocatively... nothing revealing at all, all rated PG, it was that which was implied that was sexy. |

I say you should go for it for an anniversary present. Don't worry too much about arming your self with a lot of props, just go in with the knowledge that you are loved and desired and let those emotions show through. I'm sure the results will be stunning.

Lynn Michelle is a phenomenal boudoir photographer in the DFW area (she and I used to shoot weddings together and she's an all-around awesome gal!) and she has a blog FULL of eye candy. Lots of ideas there - check it out!

The whole idea of self-discovery is precisely why I wanna do it! and Nicole and Krystal, you should consider making it the theme for your collab, lol! Who knows, maybe that kit will be what'll spur women to give it a try! (either that, or buy more lingerie, who knows?)

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. |

Or just get DH involved, let him be the 'director'. Then you're sure to get shots he'll love. We've had many photo shoots over the years... just not many since we had kids. Good thing we had almost 8 years together before the kiddos.

This totally reminded me of back when I was on Traci's CT and someone shared what they were doing for their husband for Christmas. There were lots of happy husbands then too, including mine.
