I really hope H doesn't see this....

Today I did something really fun - something I have wanted to do for a while and that is I had some Boudoir pics done!

I was nervous but I found some pics on Pinterest and we (me and photographer) were on the same page. We started off safe, ie: me in a great dress, then I did a "sweater girl" pic. The last shot involved fishnets and a pose that had my back aching.

Hey! Modeling really is hard work and no one was bringing me champagne!

I am looking forward to sharing the pics with him.

Anyone else do this?

Fun! I haven't done this, but there's a place nearby that my cousin just went to and she has been raving about it so I might get brave for Christmas or something!

I did this a few years ago for my boyfriend. The ones I did were called "White Sheet" photos. It was done in the nude with just a white sheet. The photographer did my hair and makeup and she did the pictures very tastefully. The viewing at her studio was done in a private room with wine and cheese. My boyfriend had not idea what was going on until the turned down the lights and played the video of all my pictures.

I did this and had a lot of fun. My H loved the photos. I had a little book made for him. Also memories for me in the future of how hot I looked at 50!

I would like to do this
What about photos with FWH? Not so posed as wedding ones but of us as a couple
I can't decide if it would a lie or evidence of reconciliation
I'm too early in the process though

It was fun! Actually could not imagine doing this Pre-A but I have been working on letting go of hang-ups.

You will know when the time is right marathonwaseasy. And when you are....go for it!

I want to do this so badly, but can't find a photographer in my area who does them.

Marathon; I also did pictures with my H. But not boudoir, just a normal photographer, outside. I did some of just me too. He now has some nice photos of me and of us prominently displayed in his office. The one he had before was older and someone (likely OW) had put it behind some other pictures.

How empowering, LA! Glad you had fun, and hope you shock your WS in all the right ways! I'm sure he's going to love the surprise!

My first reaction when reading this

(me and photographer)

was whether the photographer was the opposite sex and if so I would be pissed/triggered if my FWW did this.

Well....I am the BS first of all and my initial booking was with a talented male photog and wife. The cost was well above my means.

This photog was a friend. Female friend.

And yes, it was empowering liTO!
