Boudoir Photos



Recommended Posts

Figured the powder Room was a good place for this....

As a WTG gift to myself, I've scheduled a boudoir photo session next week with a really amazing photographer. I've seen many women on this site list this as a reward for themselves-- I thought this was a brilliant idea... Something to make you feel beautiful and sexy--- but now I just feel nervous. haha. I'm wondering how Ill explain that I don't want to accentuate my batwings or loose skin??? lol

And now I've been practicing my "sexy face"... Yeah, not so sexy. lol

Good luck to me!

Hmm maybe try parting your lips -- just ever so slightly? :)

If you feel sexy, it will show through the lens. As far as your imperfect areas.... let the photographer know. He/she will work around it.

Good luck and enjoy! :)

I'm a photographer, and my suggestion is to be YOU. The lens does not lie. If your photographer is a good one, he/she will direct you. Don't worry, enjoy it. Good luck!!

I've been a portrait photographer for years and I say absolutely do it!

Maybe see if you can grab a cup of coffee with your photographer before the shoot to discuss any concerns you might have. Just be honest about what worries you might have then talk about what looks you want to go for. Some women also find it's easier to have a female photographer for boudoir too.

Good luck! I'm sure you will rock it. The best thing you can wear is confidence.

I did this a month or so ago. It was fun and the pictures turned out beautiful. I did tell the photographer I did not want a close up or any kind of photo that would show my "wings". It all turned out good. I was really uncomfortable during the session but the photographer was really good at putting me at ease. I recommend this to anyone!

Eek!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
