I never have, but I might down the line, once my body goes back to mine and I look decent.
You? you could have probably done them after giving birth and they would have looked awesome, from what I gather by your avatar pic.
Bahaha, for every decent picture there are a dozen bad ones, KWIM? My photographer said she had a woman come in for some like 2 months pp. no way Jose! She said it was all in the posing after I said I need time to lose a few pounds.
I had them done! I did in in 2011 after I spent 6 months losing weight and hit my goal weight. I got KU right after (like literally, 8 hours later) so it was kind of a fun way to showcase the last of my pre-baby body.
It was not awkward at all. It was a female photographer about my age, and she had a younger female assistant. They did my make-up and suggested all kinds of fun poses and fit my personality. I had it done in a suite at a historic bed and breakfast. It was more like a girls day out than a photo session, honestly. A big print was included in the package - DH got to pick the photo. (He plans to hang it up when he has a walk-in closet someday, which I think is an adorable place for it.) He also paid for a "little black book" of prints.
So, it was really fun and I would highly suggest it!

I get what you mean. I say go for it though, it seems like something that could be a good confidence booster, and you don't have to let anyone see how they turn out if it makes you uncomfortable.
I had some done for DH as a surprise wedding gift. I drank champagne during so I was a little tipsy, which helped with the awkwardness.
I wouldn't do it again because DH hated it. He thought it was a trashy thing to do and hasn't even opened the pictures. I felt like sh*t.

I had some done, but not nude. 40's theme with a little extra cleavage. Had them made into a book and gave them to him on our wedding day.

WHAT?! Your husband is a moron. You are gorgeous and you were really putting yourself out there for him. That is ridiculous. I'm sorry he reacted that way.

WHAT THE SH!T. HOW ARE YOU SO GORGEOUS?!
Make-up artist, amazing photographer, and PHOTOSHOP! LOL Seriously! Now you know why the stars always look awesome.
It still makes me sad - especially when I come across the still-wrapped box. NONE of them were naked, only bra/undies or gown that covered by butt. I got a good head shot out of it if you don't notice my straps are bra straps instead of a tank top. I'd post another of my favorites that you can't see my face in but I can't find the copy without the photographer's watermark (she'd sent me the proofs with watermarks and removed the watermarks for the ones I wanted for DH).

I LOVE LOVE the 40s theme! I always thought a pin-up session would be a ton of fun. And you are friggin' beautiful!

Man I am so sorry. How horrible. He hasn't even opened them yet?
I really suggest everyone doing it!! You're all beautiful and it's an amazing confidence booster. After I got mine done a friend did some with the same photographer (more budoir-ish). I know her hubby loved it.

I just want to know how he landed you in the first place, because you're gorgeous, smart, and funny while he....seems to have the personality of an elevator farter.
You said he was improving...is that still the case? Because if not, move to Austin ASAP, I have a sexy single friend for you!

This pisses me off!! You are gorgeous, and awesome, and wonderful, and smart, and classy, and every other good adjective I can think of!!! Girl, I want to punch your DH sometimes. I know he's improving, but damn...this pisses me off!

Lol he has improved. He actually was a completely different person before we moved to AZ away from his friends. I think he got depressed and he took it out on me. I then felt awful about "forcing" him to move (by simply telling him I was moving and it was his choice to stay or go) and let him get away with more than I should have. I became a total pushover and he took advantage of it. Though, this morning as I'm getting ready for work and he's on the phone and NOT helping with the kids, I'm tempted by your single sexy friend...

Nope. I had them done just shy of 2 years ago.

Wow, this is a really beautiful shot of you! He is really missing out!
I got them done as a wedding gift to DH. I am getting them done again in August. I'm currently 30 lbs heavier than I was when I first got them done. I don't care, I'm going to an awesome place and will get pampered and I have seen their before and afters, they make every woman look sexy. I might be pregnant at the time though, lol.
For the love of Christ, please dump your as*hole, idiot husband.
Please.
He's really and truly gotten 10x better than before with everything. Don't get me wrong - he has his moments. However, he'll actually communicate without just stomping off like a child. I know he's among the biggest douchcanoe husbands on the board; however, he's also working hard to get better. I can't just walk away when things ARE improving because he's putting forth a lot of effort.
"To be able to practice five things everywhere under heaven constitutes perfect virtue...gravity, generosity of soul, sincerity, earnestness, and kindness."
Yep, I had them taken for our first anniversary (traditional first anniversary gift is paper... so he got a boudoir book...). I'm lucky in that my sister is a high end fashion photographer so it wasn't really awkward at all. The pictures turned out beautiful, they were classically sexy and not raunchy at all - and fwiw, I'm an extremely modest person. I don't even wear v-necks, lol.

I'd love to get them done, but it'd be crazy expensive around here.

You are so gorgeous!!! I won't even comment on the husband thing...but why don't you take them out of the box and just have them for yourself? I look at mine way more than DH does and I really like looking at them.

I really would love to do this again for DH. He loved it!
I always joked that I gave the book to him before our wedding to ensure he made it down the aisle. LOL

OMG, are you serious!? What a douche move. I'm so sorry.

I would do it. I think it's such a great gift idea. Have a glass of wine before the pics. You'll be good to go!
