    I did it right after I had my second child and I LOVED it!! So freeing and sooooo beautiful. I'll upload my photos to my profile so you can see em!

    I can see two so far and they are absolutely gorgeous!

    Thank you!! That's the body I'm trying to get back too, I'm only about 20lbs from there--but damn, it's hard after the third kiddo!! :D

    My husband and I used to have a photography business and we did couple of these sessions. They are a lot of fun as long as the subject is relaxed and willing to cooperate. If you are not totally into it, you will not feel comfortable. I would recommend meeting with your photographer first, see what kind of personality, try to know him or her first. Then think to bring items that add texture to the setting - jewelry, scarves, hats, shoes ... interesting items.
    Good luck and totally recommend it - in the end they are a lot of fun!

    I've done it, and it was great. It is definitely a confidence booster to go back and look at those photos, not to mention my husband was very happy about them too, it was his wedding gift! I had mine done by my friend, there are some samples on jagfilm.com She did an excellent job!! Go for it!!

    I've never done it but I tagged along with my sister-in-law. I say for that price you HAVE to do it.

    Lots of fun, but it took a long time to find the right photographer. Make sure your comfortable with whoever is shooting you or its a waste of money because in the pictures you will tense and almost unnaturally stiff.

    As a photographer, things like that are so fun to do!! It is very liberating for both the client and the photographer, because it is such a work of art. I love them!!! As soon as I get to where I want to be, I am going to have my partner do some for me!!! I am on facebook (Plumeria Photography) if you would like to check out some of my work!! :D

    Sounds like fun, assuming the photographer is reputable. I might want it to be a woman though-- not sure.

    I saw the coupon and thought about it, but I don't really see the point. I'm not a big fan of photos in general and I'm not even sure what I would do with them if I did get them.

    Recently while in a persons home during a fire I couldn't help but notice the Boudoir photos on a dresser in ladies bedroom. After we had the fire out the home owner came in and headed immediately to her room to hide the photos. We all pretended not to notice, but I have to say that wasn't even close to the most embarrassing thing we've come across. I'll give you a hint bbbbzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz :-)
