I shoot a whole range of boudoir photos, I'm not going to give you a sale pitch, but talk about some of the questions you've raised.

WILL H2B BE HAPPY?

Mostly yes, only once have I had a girl come back to say her husband went ballistic. However, if you're not sure, ask him indirectly - how would he feel if you went on Gok Wan or something.

WILL I BE NUDE?

Entirely up to you, there are loads of different ways to shoot, you can look very nude and still have a lot on, or you can go the other way if you want.

WHAT ABOUT LARGER FIGURES?

An experienced photographer won't be phased by this. If you are concerned about yourself there are ways to pose and shoot that reduce the effect. Otherwise - be happy in who you are.

WHAT ABOUT JUST CHUBBY FIGURES?

You feel slightly over-weight then photoshop can be your friend. I make no bones about photoshopping all our images because as far as I'm concerned you deserve to look as good as the girls in the magazines - who also have been photoshopped.

WHAT ABOUT SPOTS / WRINKLES / SCARS?

Again I would photoshop out anything you are unhappy about. Some things, like Beauty Spots (moles to the rest of us) are part of you, sometimes they are just distracting elements in a picture. Tell you photographer if you want something fixing or leaving.

HAIR AND MAKE-UP?

Absolute must. Whether you do that through your photographer or organise your own - it's part of the whole glamour of the images

SHOULD I DO THEM ON THE WEDDING DAY?

You can do them in the morning, but I'd advise against it, it's extra pressure at the time.

You can either do a session well before the wedding, or come in afterwards and do them as a first anniversary present for example (including wearing the wedding dress again - but being naughty if you wanted).

WHO WILL SEE THEM?

With a professional photographer, then only you. I must admit I do worry about some of the very cheap offers that go around whether you are the to provide the weekend warrior with his jollies... But any professional setup will have very strict processes that ensure that only you will ever see them.

HOW DO I FIND A LOCAL PHOTOGRAPHER?

There are quite a few different terms used for this, try google searches for:

MyTown His Eyes Only
MyTown Boudoir Photographer
MyTown Sensual Photographer

Hope all that helps, I just want to add one final thought.

WILL I FEEL GOOD?

I have seen women walk out of their viewing sessions feeling so great about themselves.

I've had them call me months later and say it changed their life ! It boosted their confidence, made them feel so much better about themselves.

Absolutely you will feel good

I'm planning on doing this for h2b, just have to buy a big bottle of confidence from somewhere first. Im a happy size 20, so i've quite a lot of wobbly bits. xx
