A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned that I was going to have boudoir shots taken. I can’t tell you enough how glad I am that I took them. It helped me with my confidence and self image, and in turn, I got some pretty awesome shots that Mr. H will definitely appreciate.

I went after work, which made me a little nervous, because after being up since 5:30 in the morning, I didn’t look so alert and happy. My photographer, Lynn Michelle, did an amazing job of hiding any of those emotions. I arrived at her studio, many outfits in hand, and she did both my hair and makeup and helped me to choose outfits that would look the most flattering on me and also good for the camera. As a side note, I learned that the babydoll dresses we all think hide our bad parts are usually not so flattering on camera.

Here’s a little peek of what we ended up with (only PG pics for you to see)!

Mr H. if by some random reason you are actually reading this post - STOP NOW:


She offered me a glass of wine to help ease my tension, which I accepted, but I really only ended up taking a couple sips during the entire session. She was super easy to work with. She made me feel completely comfortable being pretty naked in front of a stranger, and got me to smile naturally more then I would have thought possible. She did a great job with the final photos.

I started off with a hockey jersey, moved to Mr. H’s favorite sweatshirt and some cute panties, then I put on a couple of little lacy numbers, and ended with the garter I’ll wear on our wedding day paired with my wedding shoes, some “Mrs.” panties, and the tie that Mr. H will wear on our wedding day.

If any of you are considering taking some boudoir pics for your man, I can’t tell you how happy I am that I did it, and I encourage you to take the risk and do the same! Here’s a few tips from my photographer as to what you should bring to your boudoir session!
