What made you want to have images done?
I wanted to give the photos to my fiance as a wedding gift and I figured if I was working so hard to get in shape for the wedding it would definitely be the best time to get them done! My wedding planner also mentioned that she had them done when she got married and thinks that every woman should experience it!
How did you prepare for the session?
I worked out at the gym, tanned and shopped for lingerie in stores and online. I also looked at Boudoir websites and Victoria Secret magazines to see different poses and outfits. It was really hard to do some of this stuff, as I wanted it to remain a secret. I had to sneak the lingerie in and out of the house and wash it when my fiance wasn’t home. And I had to make up an alibi for the night of the session as to why I was wearing so much makeup and where I was.
Who are your boudoir photos for?
My fiance. But as a bonus they will be for me too.
Have you given your fiance the images yet, what did he think? If you haven’t given them how do you think he will react?
I have not given my photos to my fiance yet – I think I will give them to him the morning of the wedding. I’m pretty sure he will think it is a great gift, as he has mentioned photos before, but didn’t think I would get them done.
What did you think of the experience of having a boudoir photo shoot?
The photos were a great experience. I have to admit I was stressed out before the session – just with all the preparation I did and the sneaking around part. And really – who actually feels comfortable trying on lingerie? So there were a few times when I questioned my choice. But Erica was very professional and did a great job!
Which images are your favourites?
It was so hard to choose out of the more than 100 images that Erica took! I like the lying down ones a lot, with and without my eyes closed. And I tried to choose a variety of different poses and colors for the album. I found I couldn’t just choose 10, so I ended up going with a 20 page album.
Is there any other info or interesting story about your boudoir photography experience?
I really hope these photographs stay a secret until the wedding – as it will all be worth it then! There have been at least a couple times where I’ve almost been “caught” while viewing my photos online as well.
