Shall I do an FYEO shoot?

Go for it and you won't look like a big naked lardy lump!!

therein lies your answer! admittedly i've not seen many FYEO pics, but the ones i've seen are gorgeous and really classy. i bet you will look gorgeous and curvy (fwiw, from the dress pics you posted a while back, i would NEVER have put you in a 20/22)

and, erm, without wanting to sound too pervy, you could post the tamer ones.... i would actually be curious to see some!

ETA: ok i know they are called For Your Eyes Only, so ignore my request to post them as obv they are for your h2b's eyes only...!!!

Perv ?

? i know, i posted it and suddenly realised i did sound a bit weird, hence my editing!!!!

You're a much braver girl than I am! I think if you and your hubby to be like the idea, then you should go for it!

I'd never ever have the guts to do anything like that! I'd just be to self-conscious. But the ones that they do on How to look goog naked, always look great.

I'm sure you'll look fantastic!

Hi I think you should go for it. I have done makeup for a couple of companies very similiar to FYEO and the girls have looked amazing. Its nothing to do with size remember your H2B loves you as you are and if you have the right photographer she will make you feel like a supermodel anyway. GO FOR IT and have a fab time. www.lookgoodmakeup.co.uk

Thanks everyone. I'm still undecided though!

Oh and Bluewater, if I do go for it, I'll let you have a look! ?

Go for it. The photographers always make you look your best and the pictures I have seen of people doing it are lovely. If H2B thinks it is a good idea too, then it would be something to surprise him with.

I would say go for it. I've done make up for girls having these session and they always look fab and have so much fun too.

I wouldn't mind doing one, can you email they details for the photgrapher that said they can do them.

I am sure he will love them and I think if you are comfortable with your photographer then the images will look great regardless of your size. I saw some a while back of someone who was a size 20 and she looked gorgeous, but most importantly happy.

Incidentally, we currently don't do FYEO shoots (we concentrate mainly on weddings) and really don't have any intentions of doing them in the business , however I would love to photograph one myself, so if any North/North East Hitchers fancy a FYEO shoot after Christmas as a practice session (no cost obviously) then let me know.

Me and my house mates were discussing this the other night, we are both interested! We thought it would be interesting.. maybe keep the pics in our room.. not on the fire place!

If you click on my username you should be able to email me.

FML - sorry to hijack your thread!

TG

You know I think you should go for it. The only thing that's prevented me is the cost....

I figure that i'm only going to get older and saggier, I would love to have a nude photo taken. Although H2B not fussed that much.....

And yeah, call me pervy can I see a tame one too??

And I didn't think you were a 20-22 either xx

I think you should go for it. I have been thinking about doing this too. The pictures I have seen on the websites look really good.

I will join the pervs club and would be interested in seeing them too.

And agreeing with what others have said, I did not think you were a 20-22 either. More like a 16-18 x

Sorry but going against the general consensus-I really don`t like FYEO type shots I think theyre a bit tacky, regardless of how thin or not you are. Just my opinion, I`m sure theyre lovely if you like that kind of thing.

Thanks girls - nice to know I can get away with not looking as porky as I actually am, a nice unexpected outcome of this thread!

I think I am going to go for it you know. I've been thinking more about it and to kind of echo what SG45 said, I'm only going to be young once, everything is going to start going south soon especially once I've had kids so it'd be a nice thing to do even just for that reason.

I'm willing to share with all you pervs ? providing they come out nice that is!

I am a bit late but I say go for it!! Every time I see a pic of you I always think what a really good looking lady you are...and you will look amazing in the pics (not sounding pervy or anything) but you have the "look" for it. Who cares what size and shape you are...your H2B adores every single bump, Lump, line, freckle on your body or he wouldnt be marrying you!!

Aw thanks AA, that's such a nice thing to say ?

Well if its good enough for Sam in SATC (she had nude photos taken as she thought her body was the best it would look) it's good enough for me.

And I reckon you will look hot in the pics - judging from how lovely you look in your dress. Can i ask, roughly how much is it costing?

Thanks SG - you girls have all been so nice to me today!

This is the lady I have contacted as she is not toooo far away from where I live and she is very cheap compared to some others I have seen. Prices are on this link page http://ngmphotographic.co.uk/boudoir.html

Hi!

I'm an 18-20, and I'd considered it. My H2B is a photographer though, and does do FYEO shoots so the main thing putting me off is that he'd be looking a tthe lighting and the style of shot, not me in it!

I'm still undecided, but not because of my size....go for it! xx

FML - you've inspired me so I've sent an email to my (female) wedding photographer to see if she's done anything like this before, and if maybe she'd consider doing a test shoot with me.... fingers crossed.

When are you having your shoot do you think?

I've booked it! Sunday 25th Jan! Eeeek!

Well done, you will love the results!!

Size isnt an issue through the lens of the right photographer!

Oooh yeah I'd say def go for it. I'm so glad I did mine. They will be nice to have when I am old, wrinkly and saggy!

If anyone is looking for a boudior photographer down south I would def recommend Teri_M who was also my wedding tog.

FML - how exciting! I think they're great, and the ladies always look so lovely. I'm another one who thinks you look loads smaller than a 20-22!

Lisa - is that Teri_M on here? Do you have a website address you could let me have?

Would like something done before things head any further south!!

Claire x

Ooh I've had an email to confirm and tell me what I need to do/bring... exciting!

I'm so envious of all you brave ladies who are doing/have done this!

I really hope it lives up to your expectations, FML, and I'm sure you'll look absolutely gorgeous!

I just really could never do one of these shoots myself. I hate being in front of the camera at the best of times! Really best of luck!

I looked into this, but the cheapest price I found was £450 and I simply couldn't afford it.

Sarah, you're a gorgeous woman and you exude confidence IRL. I think a FYEO shoot of you will be marvellous.

Hi Claire, yep Teri_M is a hitcher. Here is an extract of her blog talking about the launch of "Secrets" http://murakamiphotography.blogspot.com/search/label/Secrets - the website address is on it (as well as a certain person's ? slideshow if you want to see a example) x

Swit swooo Lisa! Those pics are well foxy!
