Re: Boudoir...
i will be doing it about 6 months prior to the wedding and give it to him before his bachelor party, kinda as a 'look what you have waiting when you get home'. It is going to be a surprise and yes, i will be working out like a maniac before hand to look good!!!

Re: Boudoir...
i think i might do it a couple of months after the wedding (when i'll hopefully be thinner...) and then give to him for our first anniversary...since its supposed to be a 'paper' gift...and a photo album is paper!!

how did your meeting go last night with Hidden Pixels???
And I would totally do it as a surprise. I want to see the look on his face when I hand over the album, he will totally not be expecting it.

It would be a total surprise for FH, even if i told him i was going to do it i don't think he would believe me. I definitely need the gym for the next year though

Re: Boudoir...
I'm debating it...the whole thing seems a little awkward to me.
It's like, here are some sexy pics of me. Then what does he do with them??
I think I might just give him the real me...in person...no pics.

Re: Boudoir...
Which ones are the reliable ones and which ones are on Long Island? I am interested, but I need to do it in a VERY sophisicated way ( I'm thinking Italian Starlet) and I can not have any men taking these pics (Because my fiance will FLIP). I want to take them one weekend when my fiance goes upstate, but I am really a little nervous lol. If anyone knows of any Long Island ones please FM me. :)

Re: Boudoir...
I'm definitely going to do it, I'm really excited -- of course I totally need to hit the gym.
I think it will be an amazing surprise for my FH. I'll give him the album as a gift. But I don't think I could wait until first anniversary -- we suck @ keeping secrets from each other -- so I know I wouldn't hold out that long.
I want him to have it to see how amazing I look and I want to be able to look back and be like WOW I was HOTTT!! LOL.
Plus several of my girlfriends have done it and they really enjoyed the photo session and felt amazingly empowered and sexy throughout the entire thing and they said their FH's loved the gift more than they even expected. Which was another awesome feeling.
Also some of the other ladies in the '08 and some '09 brides have mentioned how much the loved it and the reactions from their FH's.
I'm self concious about certain parts of my body but (1) I know he doesn't care about them like I do and (2) if it's a good fotog we can go around those areas or I just have to bring the right types of outfits! And there is always photoshop! LOL

Re: Boudoir...
FH jokingly asked if I was planning on doing them....which I hadn't originally planned. We made a pact that if I get down to my goal weight then I will do them for him.
