Boudoir
I've been going back and forth on doing a boudoir session for fh. I'm not the most confident since I'm plus size, but I think I may bite the bullet and just do it. I'm torn between Capture the Moment/Rock the Dress and Jenerations. Curious if anyone has used either and what your experiences were. Please share!

Re: Boudoir
do it! I want to do a session with Jenerations so badly. maybe after the wedding. I did a similar session back in August a the Viana hotel. sooooooooo much fun. pictures came out so awesome. I don't think I'm a really skinny girl either and he made me look amazing. in my head you can never have too many pictures of yourself looking good. something to always look back at when older.

Since your wedding is in march I would say hold off for a little bit.. Usually around valentines day or earlier they run specials for boudoir sessions. Last year they ran a special for only $199. That's what I plan on doing and giving it to my FH for our one year anniversary.

I used Capture the Moment and I'm not petite. Jess was super amazing, made me comfortable, and we had a blast. The pictures came out AMAZING and the price is right.
Can you give me a quote on this please.
Thanks

yup :( Just saw that too. No more bourdoir shoots. Jess said girls have been way too picky, having her edit and re-edit pics. She just doesn't have time. :( Boooo no what?!

Omg that $19 will turn into $400... Stay away from them. I had a glamour shots there as a gift from a friend. I ended up paying like $250 extra on top of her $125 just for one picture. They nickle and dime the hell out of you and always make excuses.

It does not include hair and makeup but I got my makeup done at ulta for it and it was only $35 there. I don't really feel comfortable putting the pics up here but I can tell you that I was really impressed with how good they came out!

That's a really great deal with a great idea to just create your own book! I think I will do this myself as well! Thanks for the groupon!
