I know most people do it before they get married. But I was feeling kind of cruddy about my body after having a baby and someone suggested that I do this. Mama belly and all... I second the idea of having a female photographer. She made me feel beautiful and sexy and the pictures turned out great. My husband is also pretty happy with them ;) so I just wanted to encourage anyone who says that they can't do it now that they've had a baby. It's the perfect time! It really helped me feel sexy again!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buzzfeed-boudoir-shots#post-1498040 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 09:34:10 +0000 Alivoo01 1498040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did before our wedding and put all the pictures in a book for DH. It was very PG rated so as in I was in a bra and underwear at all times. Honestly, I felt like the photo shoot was more for me than him!! I loved how it turned out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buzzfeed-boudoir-shots#post-1497342 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 19:58:20 +0000 Ra 1497342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did 1940s pinup pictures for DH before our wedding. So much fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buzzfeed-boudoir-shots#post-1497145 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 18:39:15 +0000 lovehoneybee 1497145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>These are great! </p> <p>I did a combination of self-taken shots and some a good friend took of me for D right after we got married. I felt very empowered! I wish that I still felt that good about my body! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buzzfeed-boudoir-shots#post-1497133 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 18:34:35 +0000 blackbird 1497133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did as a gift when he got back from Iraq :) I wonder where that album is, heh </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buzzfeed-boudoir-shots#post-1497129 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 18:32:12 +0000 Beebug 1497129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They do nothing for me (seeing those ones!) and I would never have the courage or confidence to ever attempt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buzzfeed-boudoir-shots#post-1497067 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 16:56:08 +0000 Mae 1497067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Loved those shots!! I did a boudoir shoot for my husband for a wedding gift. I was really nervous about it because I am (was) not thin. I was about a size 18. But I loooooooooved the photos. They were so beautifully done and flattering, and my husband absolutely loved the album I gave him after our wedding. He thought I should make it a yearly tradition for our anniversary-- until I told him how much they cost me lol. But I would totally consider doing another shoot for a bigger anniversary, 5 or 10 years maybe :)</p> <p>(Also I highly recommend if you're going to do them-- get a female photog and one you trust! I was sooo self conscious at first and my photog lifted up her shirt and was like see this chub and these stretch marks? You don't have anything I haven't seen and you're going to look hot. Trust me. And I did. And she made me look amazing :) ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buzzfeed-boudoir-shots#post-1496997 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 15:36:07 +0000 coopsmama 1496997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love this collection of photos. It's really empowering that beauty can come in so many shapes and sizes -- all of this women are so sexy! </p> <p>I wish I'd done some pre-baby for DH but he actually just mentioned to me that he would love if I'd do some while pregnant to remember the beauty of this stage. I need some bravery though, first! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buzzfeed-boudoir-shots#post-1496984 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 15:19:42 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1496984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSCB: awww that is so sweet!

I did them as a wedding gift to my husband, but I was surprised at how good it made me feel about myself. It helped that my photographer was wonderful and gave me a ton of helpful direction, but it gave me so much confidence. And my H looooooved the album I gave him. Like he said it would be one of the material items he'd rush to save in the event of a fire hahaha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buzzfeed-boudoir-shots#post-1496939 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 14:37:49 +0000 Boheme 1496939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had them done the month before our wedding, and I'm so glad I did! Both for myself and DH... I have one printed out as my workout inspiration :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buzzfeed-boudoir-shots#post-1496908 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 14:12:47 +0000 BananaPancakes 1496908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had them done for my husband for our wedding. I'm glad I did them because I weighed 117 lbs and was in the best shape of my life. I'll never look like that again, so it's nice to have the memories. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buzzfeed-boudoir-shots#post-1496905 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 14:11:17 +0000 Sweet T 1496905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love that these pictures were of "real" women and not a bunch of photoshopped models!</p> <p>I love boudoir pictures. I would love to have some done after I lose some more weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buzzfeed-boudoir-shots#post-1496904 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 14:10:34 +0000 LindsayInNY 1496904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did them about a month before our wedding and had a little book/album made. The photographer was actually a long time friend from LiveJournal! I was out her way for work training and the first time we met was when she did the photos! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buzzfeed-boudoir-shots#post-1496880 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 13:51:04 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1496880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebug: that just makes me happy!

Then I got pregnant the following month...I am so glad I did them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buzzfeed-boudoir-shots#post-1496875 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 13:47:50 +0000 Boogs 1496875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: Lol! I should have done it when I had the chance, not with this mama body now, I'm way too self conscious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buzzfeed-boudoir-shots#post-1496873 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 13:42:40 +0000 lilyann 1496873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made a boudoir calendar for DH for our 1 year wedding anniversary and he LOVED it! I am really glad I did it too because I will never have my old body back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buzzfeed-boudoir-shots#post-1496871 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 13:39:35 +0000 singingbee 1496871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did for our first valentine's day, which was a few days after our wedding. DH loved them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buzzfeed-boudoir-shots#post-1496856 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 13:23:35 +0000 littlebug 1496856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did boudoir photos for my husband for a wedding gift. He loves them. And I have never felt sexier or more confident than I did during/after that photoshoot. I felt fantastic about myself and my body. I still do when I look at the photos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buzzfeed-boudoir-shots#post-1496850 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 13:16:06 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1496850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@californiadreams: same with my DH, he wasn't keen on the idea! He just didn't want someone else, even a female photographer, seeing me like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buzzfeed-boudoir-shots#post-1496839 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 13:05:35 +0000 californiadreams 1496839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>those photos are beautiful! i briefly considered a boudoir when i was engaged. Luckily I asked DH what he thought first and he was adamantly against and would not have been happy if i did them. Other than then, i've never had a desire to do boudoir shots and doubt i ever will. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buzzfeed-boudoir-shots#post-1496821 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 12:49:09 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1496821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: uhh hello - little black book ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buzzfeed-boudoir-shots#post-1496814 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 12:44:21 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1496814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did a "sexy" photo shoot but not really boudoir exactly. It was so much fun. I love how the photos came out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buzzfeed-boudoir-shots#post-1496809 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 12:40:18 +0000 Boogs 1496809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never have, but I think they can be so pretty. My photographer surprised me on my wedding day asking if I wanted to do a few shots before getting ready, but it felt awkward with so many people in the house and I didn't feel mentally prepared lol. It's something I think could be fun with a grey photographer who knows how to teach you how to look your best. Though, my DH thinks there's no point for photos like that to just be tucked away in a drawer somewhere lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buzzfeed-boudoir-shots#post-1496767 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 11:44:51 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1496767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://www.buzzfeed.com/peggy/impossibly-sexy-boudoir-photo-poses" rel="nofollow">http://www.buzzfeed.com/peggy/impossibly-sexy-boudoir-photo-poses</a></p> <p>I love this compilation of women of all sizes, body types, colors and looks - so inspiring!</p> <p>Have you ever done a boudoir?
