Ok so Brad and I were fortunate enough to win Amanda Picone's free photo shoot contest. We can have a post wedding shoot, trash the dress shoot or I can do a boudoir shoot. I am very unsure of what to do! Here is my thinking...
I would LOVE to do a trash the dress shoot but I dnt want to ruin my dress. I know i could buy a cheap one but then that is defeating the purpose of winning a free shoot in my cheap mind lol. I dont have th emoney to buy anything extra. Cheap, or not cheap...thats how it is.
Brad doesn't want to take anymore pictures. I am sure I can convince him or just TELL him this is what we are doing if we decide to do a post wedding shoot. I think this is a ncie idea because its more wedding pictures and they are of the two of us and could actually be displayed. I figure we could take them in a different setting than our reg pictures and who knows maybe we will get even better pics!
Brad wants me to do the boudoir shoot. I said do you want this because you dont want to take pictures or because you actually want them? He said he actually wants them. My fear is that they will be terrible. Im so uncomfortable with my body and embarassed that I don't even know how it will work otu! I also have to go and buy lots of nice undies and things which could get a bit pricey and i also have to pay for a location to do the shoot. Id love to do this for him if it is something that he really wants, but im just worried that they won't be great.
What would you ladies do??

I personally would do the b-shoot! I think you'll feel great about doing it, Brad will really love it, and it'll be fun! Just be careful... My shoot's on Friday and between when I first booked it and now, I've spent hundreds on lingerie and accessories just so I'll have choices on the day of the shoot. I just couldn't help myself LOL I'm sure you won't impulse buy as much as I did, but lingerie does get pricey!

Lauren do the b pics.....He really wants them and I would do them if they were free. Plus they can be as racy as you want....you look amazing and I think you actually might end up loving the pics. I think the pics might actually boost your confidence when you see how amazing you will look.

Lauren,
I think you should do the boudoir shoot. I have my boudoir shoot done with Amanda Picone who is also our photographer. If you want to see her work in boudoir, FM me . I can see a couple of pics that she did for our boudoir session.

If you don't want the boudoir, then did you book her for your photographer? If you did, maybe you can use the gift certificate to the wedding. just ask her !

I would have said post wedding, but BECAUSE you said you're 'not sexY' I am saying you MUST do the boudoir shoot. Dressing up and the way the pictures will be done will make you feel sexy and give you a confidence boost. Go for it!

If your not comfortable with B-pics, then don't do them. Honestly my biggest concern with them wouldn't be taking them but having them in existence. Not sure its a good thing. Besides... if he really wants them get a camera and have fun taking them rather then getting sexy in front of some photographer you don't know.
The post wedding pics will be worth more in the long run... and something you can show the grandkids.

I voted for b-pics, I really love the trash the dress shoots but I too would not want to ruin my dress. Also you can do the b-pics in cute outfits and not sooo racey ones. I say stay true to who you are Brad obviously thinks you are sexy, so just be who you are! HTH!
