Yes or no to boudoir?

FamilyJewels, on October 17, 2016 at 11:40 PM

Have any of you done boudoir photos? I like the idea but am naturally nervous about it, never having done anything like that before. I feel that it would be a very special gift for him to have. Thoughts? Experiences? Also, if you are not doing this, what are you getting as a wedding gift? I see...

Also, if you are not doing this, what are you getting as a wedding gift? I see watches as gifts often but he never wears watches. Thanks!

    It depends on your guy. He was really against it.

    I wish I had the money for it in my budget! It seems like so much fun! My MOH won a small 2 outfit one at a bridal expo I'm so jealous!

    I'm considering it not as a wedding gift but as a one year anniversary present. It's not in budget to do it for the wedding. Spend lots of time researching photographers if you do. I think that the tacky and just cheap looking ones outnumber the ones that actually look good by far for boudoir. I am seeing more and more as they become even more popular that I think are really beautiful.

    I would like to but I don't know what we would do with the pictures or book. FH has two kids and we plan on having our own so hanging them up is not happening. If they go into an album I just don't see him looking at it much. I'm torn.

    I want to do these and I saw something about wearing his favorite team's jersey in some pictures. Do you guys think that it might turn out a bit tacky? He loves his team but I'm not sure how it would end up looking.

    I did these and made a book and my husband is in awe. He was literally speechless. He's been able to stutter out "wow" and "how did you do this" and "I can't believe you did this".

    My husband is a cop and I used his work shirt in a shot and I even used the rings on some cute heels.

    I say every woman should do it. I never felt so sexy.

    Honestly, if I do end up doing one it will be for myself. Just to prove to myself that I can be sexy and rock it. I don't know if my FH would like it as a gift. I'm still on the fence.

    Do it! I did it, I'm totally introverted. I went sober, and felt so empowered! My photographer was a great guy that you immediately felt comfortable around. I think that's the key too, a grew at photographer.
