My boudoir shoot report...& Cheska how was yours?!

Mrs Bloom, 25 January, 2009 at 15:02 Posted on Planning 0 40

I loved it! I really would recommend anyone to do it, it was such good fun!

I stayed at my BM's house last night so H2B wouldn't be suspicious about me leaving the house in full make up at 9.30am! I planned to borrow her sat nav, but then just as I was setting off I realised my car doesn't have a cigarette lighter to plug it in to, grr. So I had to try manage with vague directions from the internet, but in the end I got close by and got hopelessly lost so I called Nicola (the tog) and she had to direct me in.

Nicola is so lovely, she put me at ease straight away. She's really friendly and has some fabulous ideas, and her house is beautiful! I honestly can't recommend her enough, I'm already thinking I'd like to go back and do it again (potential first anniversary present? It's paper isn't it!). Her site is www.ngmphotographic.co.uk . I think she said my pics will be available for me to look at in about 1-2 weeks, I can't wait to see them!

When I (eventually) got there, we went straight upstairs to the 'boudoir', Nicola ran through some ideas and showed me her props, and had a look at what I'd brought along. She then left the room for me to get undressed, then when I was ready we got straight into it. I did loads of different poses, laid on the bed, on the floor, stood up, sat down, some close up ones of my eyes, some with a veil - I can't even remember them all now! It took around an hour or so all together, but it flew by! Nicola was great at directing every little pose so I knew I'd look the best I could. Then, it was all over and time to get my clothes back on!

I can't wait to get the album and give it to H2B. I don't think he even suspects I've been. I told him my friend and I had a lie-in this morning, then made plans for the wedding and hen party and then I ''went to order'' his wedding present - so not technically a lie!

Cheska had her shoot this afternoon with Nicola too so I'm excited for her to get back and tell us all what she thought too!

    Don't worry, I'm sure I'll be happy to share some when I get them - I have confidence in Nocola to make me look fabulous! Will have to think of a way to do it without actually having to display the pics or the website link online though hmmmm...

    Oh I was wandering around totally starkers!

    I had my pants on in a couple of shots, but Mr L doesn't like lingerie, so most of them are just clever draping, certain positions to hide the important bits, and covering up using gloves and feathers!

    We all have the same bits, doesn't bother me who sees mine!

    I know! He's really odd like that. He either likes me clothed, or totally naked! He just doesn't like the whole underwear thing, not even stockings or hold ups ☹️

    On the bright side it saves me a fortune in underwear, I just buy nice safe M&S pants and bras!

    So got up this morning to finish off my ‘maintenance’ had to re-curl my hair as it had flopped since yest, check everywhere was hair free and made sure had all my outfits with me. Trying to get out the house without MrB not asking too many questions was hard. But luckily he had to work so was in his office – read: game room – so told him to just stay in there till I had gone and to ask no questions.

    I left in plenty time armed with my google map directions all went well until I got near to Nicola’s and found myself driving up some very steep hills along very narrow roads. Decided to stop by a pub and call Nicola and luckily I was right next to her house so panic over.

    As FML said Nicola is lovely (and her house too!!) and couldn’t have made me feel more at ease. We went through all my outfits and I told her just like FML I wasn’t bothered about being naked either so we were good to go!!

    So we did some shots in my wedding underwear then in a couple of underwear sets I had with me – black and black & white lacies. Took stockings too which I have never worn before. We did shots on the bed, couch, floor against the wall etc. I was trying to ‘think thin’ but just kept remembering that Nicola would be doing lots of touch-ups on the photos before I saw them so tried not to be too worried about whether my belly was sticking out. The time flew by and soon I was packing up my undies and heading home. Pics should be ready in about 10 days, CAN’T WAIT!!!!

    I would recommend everyone to do this it’s amazing and really liberating – it’s a shame I need to wait until May before MrB can see them.

    Glad you enjoyed yours too Cheska. I'll be dying to show Mr L mine and we get married in 6 weeks, don't think I'd be able to keep it to myself until May!

    Hi FML - well we have so much else going on so am hoping I can put them out of my mind (once I have looked at them 100000 times). God where am i going to hide them for 3 months??

    That's what I was thinking too, luckily if it takes a couple of weeks to get the photos, then another couple to get my book printed, I should only have to hide it for two weeks!

    I know you don't have long left now - make sure to let me know what OH says! are you going to give them to him the night before? I think I will give MrB his just before we go our separate ways the night before.

    Right all my stuff is still in the boot of the car - need to work out how to get it back in the wardrobe upstairs

    Lol, Mr L was looking at my two bags yesterday before I left saying 'all this for one night out?!!' so I had to be all ''well, I don't know where we're going/what we're doing tonight so I have to have lots of options...'' so he didn't bat an eyelid when I brought them back today.

    I think we are exchanging presents the night before when I set off to stay over at the venue, but not opening them until the morning of the wedding. What are you doing with yours?

    Oh sorry for the delay..... just been telling my mum all about it, she wants to see all the pics!!! My biggest critic is my mother - the most honest woman ever.

    Might just show her a select few - don't think mums need to see all of them ?

    I'd love to do a boudoir shoot but a) don't have the money (flipping cat put a stop to that) and b) I want to look my best i.e. be more toned and less flabby so don't have the opportunity to do anything in 4 months but maybe for a xmas present or something.

    I'm so glad that you both had a great time, I remember your thread a few weeks ago to ask what to take. I remember beign so thrilled after I had mine done (a bit different there were 4 of us, in an apartment in Birmingham as part of my hen weekend!!).

    My Husband was so thrilled with them, he says they're the best present ever. I left them hidden in our bedroom, with a note he'd dfind on the weddign morning. The text he sent me when he got them was very x rated!!

    You're so brave telling your mum, I just couldn't do it. She still keeps askign what I got him as a pressie, and I fob it off every time.

    Hope you both love your pics when you see them.

    Michele

    Hi TemptingP - I know I am not sure why I felt I had to tell my mum!! Took me 9 years to pluck up the courage to tell her I had a tattoo and her only reply was 'Oooh think I might get one!'

    Wonder if she will want photos done when I show her mine?!?! That would be TMI
