About Me: 1950's housewife sent to the future, reborn as crafting-obsessed, jill of all trades. I enjoy decorating, writing, baking sweet things, singing show tunes/dancing in public, wearing pearls, and knitting sweaters for my furbaby, Harvey, to chew upon. I heart pink, and believe that sparkles are the new black.
Shooting In My Skivvies
March 12th, 2008 @ 9:28 am by Miss Shortcake
Now here’s an idea! For those of you who aren’t doing a full boudoir shoot for your hubby-to-be’s, how about a doing a “mini-boudoir shoot” like Holly with your photographer, right before you get dressed? That way, you know your hair and make-up will be fabulous, and you’ll be at the height of bodaciousness!
(yes, I adore Anne Ruthmann, yes I think she’s the bomb,)
Because our budget has… ehem… blown way out of proportion as compared to its earliest conception, I haven’t scheduled a boudoir shoot. Taking some pictures before getting dressesd seems like a wonderful alternative - I just wouldn’t be able to give Mr. Shortcake the photographs as a wedding present on the day of.
What do you think? Do any of you know of any affordable (and awesome) boudoir-shooters in Vancouver?

what a great idea - we too overstreched our budget to the exclusion of a boudouir shoot, which i know my honey would have loved!!! since photography was one of our splurges, this is the perfect compromise - thanks for the idea!
That is a fantastic idea. How sexy!
Someone just recommended Anne to me for boudoir photos… she does beautiful work! I don’t think Terre Haute is too far from Chicago!
Ooh, I just found an affordable and awesome one in Seattle, if you want to drive!

I love Anne too, been blog stalking her for longer than I’ve been engaged =P
Anne was my photographer–she hasn’t blogged my wedding yet–I can’t wait to see the photos! We loved her and her work–I did not do b-pics, but I’ve seen some of her b-pic samples, and they are beautiful. Even if you are not in Indianapolis, you should write to her, because she travels to a lot of weddings and might be able to squeeze you in if she’s traveling to any area near you sometime soon.
This is a great idea, my one concern would be that hopefully the photographer could refrain from posting them with all the other photos on their website or in the proof area. I mean, I sent the link to my proofs to everyone I know, and I don’t think I would have necessarily wanted all of them to see me in a provocative pose in my skivvies 
hmmm i wonder, and this is me just thinking out loud but… couldn’t your fiancee take them? it’s such a cute and sexy idea already that… i don’t know. just throwing it out there ^_^

She did my e-pics and if I get my bod in shape, I’m going to muster enough courage to get b-pics done with her.
@Miss Peacock:
Miss Peacock, I just so happen to know Anne (and she’s fabulous!) and she just might have some travel to chicago coming up….definitely worth calling her up to find out!
