I am going to try a story in English for a change, see how that works out. Be gentle with me, this is not my native language and I'm sure I'm going to make mistakes. As always, comments and feedback will be much appreciated. Hope you all enjoy!

"BL Photography, how can I help you?" A pleasant voice answered my call.
"Yeah, ah, hi, ah, my name is Monica, ah, I need to... I mean I want to, ah, have some pictures taken," I stuttered nervously.
My name is Monica Sellers. I had recently celebrated my 45th birthday, and my husband had convinced me that now would be the perfect time to have some pictures made of me. You know, while everything was still in the right place, before old age set in. Well, he didn't say that, but I'm sure he was thinking it; I know I was.
Of course, he was talking about racy pictures, boudoir type images, me in sexy lingerie, maybe some artistic nudes, nothing pornographic of course, but showing quite a bit of my body. My first reaction had been to scream at him.
"I'm not going to go to some guy I don't know and strip in front of him, and let him take pictures of me in my underwear. Why the hell would I do that?"
Eventually we agreed on me finding a female photographer, someone I could feel more comfortable with than a man. I still didn't like the idea very much, but I wanted to please my husband.
"Yes, of course, what kind of pictures would you be looking at?" the voice on the phone wanted to know.
"Well, see, I am not sure, ah, something like... ah, you know, ah... a bit sexy, maybe?" God, this was so embarrassing.
The female on the other end of the phone laughed. "No problem, Monica, I think I have a pretty good idea. Why don't you come over to my studio on... let's see, I have an opening for 30 minutes on Thursday, at 2o'clock, how does that sound? We can talk a bit, discuss what exactly you are looking for, and set a date for the actual shoot, once we figure everything else out. Would that be okay?"
Well, she sounded nice. A bit young, maybe, around 25-30 I guessed, but nice.

"Hi, you must be Monica? My name is Beth, I am the owner of BL Photography. You were talking to me when you called. How are you doing?"
"Ah, fine, thank you."
"So, you want to have some sexy pictures done? Let me show you a few sample images, and you can tell me if you see anything you like, and we can go from there."
Wow! Those samples ranged from harmless lingerie photos, fully covered, up to fully nude spread shots, clearly showing the privates of the women. What type of slutty woman would have a picture like that taken? And who would they show it to? No matter, that was definitely not for me. Beth and I agreed on a date, a time, and some outfits I should bring; we discussed makeup, hair, clothing choices, and the whole thing began to sound very professional, dry almost. It made me feel calmer. Beth was very nice, a young woman in her late twenties, wearing a very professional business suit, medium length black skirt, white blouse, matching black jacket, and low heeled beige pumps. After I got over my initial nervousness, we got along great, and by the time all the details had been discussed, I was almost looking forward to the shoot.

"Okay, I'll be going then, wish me luck." My husband looked at me with a blank expression.
"What do you need luck for? You are going to have your picture taken, you're not going skydiving for heaven's sake. How long are you going to be? I'll probably go over to Henry's later for a couple of beers and to watch the game."
"I should be back in about three hours. Beth told me the shoot shouldn't take more than two, so with the driving, I shouldn't be more than three. Do I look okay?"
"Is that what you're going to wear for the pictures?"
"No, of course not, I have some outfits with me, I can change there. What do you think, I'll drive over there in my underwear?" God, sometimes this man could be so infuriating.
The drive to the photo studio took only 20 minutes. Saturday afternoon, in an industrial neighborhood, the roads were pretty much deserted, and finding parking was no problem.
"Hey, Monica, how are you?" Beth greeted me when I opened the door to the studio, a small suitcase behind me. "Are those the outfits you want to wear? Great. How are you feeling? Nervous? Don't worry about it, everybody is nervous when they come in for boudoir shots, unless they've done it before. Nothing to worry about, Hun, you'll see."
With all of Beth's talking, I wasn't able to get a word in edgewise, and before I knew it, I was changed into my white lingerie set, the one I had saved from my wedding, and ready for the first set.
"That's it, girl, beautiful, stay like that, chin down a bit, little bit forward, good, now look at me, great, hold that, perfect, beautiful, just like that, now lean forward more, little more, look to your left, great..."
In no time, Beth had guided me through the first set of lingerie pictures. Before I changed into the second outfit, a black pair of lace panties with a matching bra, holdup stockings and long black gloves, Beth showed me some of the pictures from the first set. I was amazed how beautiful I looked! So innocent, but still a bit sexy, the light in just the right places to show off my cleavage and my long legs, in my opinion my two best features. This was really going well.
