Bouduoir session... Terrified!!!!

Kelly, on June 4, 2013 at 10:56 AM Posted in Community Conversations 0 12

I have my bouduoir session on Thursday.... I'm scared to death! I'm kind of a modest girl and a big girl. I'm 5'9 and 195 pounds... I don't know how this is going to turn out but I don't want to make a fool if myself. Ugh. What to wear? Anyone have any suggestions???

    Buy a cute baby doll lingerie set. Get your hour and makeup gone professionally and have a glass if wine.

    One of the best shots I saw (my engagement photog also does boudoir...) was a woman with her hair all tousled, in this grey sweater that hit mid thigh, and killer thigh high black boots. Make yourself a little uncomfortable. Take a risk. Your FH is going to LOVE them.

    Maybe wear one of his button-up shirts that falls on you just below your cheeks and unbutton it to show just enough cleavage

    I wanted to do one too!! You will have to let us know how it goes! I agree with Bridget, I baby doll set would look sexy! Maybe do one with an article of his clothing on, like a dress shirt or tie or something. Look up different picture ideas online so that you know how you want to pose and feel comfortable! Good luck!

    You'll be FINE!!!! I brought my best friend, donuts, and a bottle of pink champagne to lighten things up a little.

    I'm 5'5" and 230 lbs...and my session was awesome. The pictures were not just for FH, but also for me. My best friend who came with bought me the session because she wanted me to see myself like FH sees me.

    Here's what I wore:

    Outfit 1: Black lace boudoir dress (it had a tan lining). Black patent leather peep toe pumps.

    Outfit 2: Favorite jeans, FH's zip-up sweatshirt, black lacy bra.

    Outfit 3: White thong, white stockings (with garter belt to hold them up), white lacy bra, rhinestone jewelry I will wear on our wedding day, and my veil.

    I thought it was interesting...the pictures I liked enough to order but that were not my favorites were the ones FH loves the most. I was going to wait to give it to him the night before the wedding, but we're 4500 miles apart, and were going through a rough week so I decided to send them early.

    Wine Smiley smile I know many who have done this and love it and end up baring all and were surprised. It just depends on how comfortable your photographer makes you feel.

    Thanks ladies!!! All great ideas and you put my mind at ease. I did freak out and panic and rescheduled it for September. I figure that will give me a little bit of time to work on some if these body issues I have. I love all your ideas... Especially the wine, knee high black boots and the baby doll lingerie set! Plus this few months gives me time to shop around for all those things and MORE!!! Smiley smile
