My husband and I had been married for three years when I turned 30. We decided it was time to start a family, and stopped using any birth control. I know it was pretty vain of me, but I was worried about what a pregnancy would do to my body. I was in the best shape of my life, lots of yoga and gym time, and my body looked fantastic. My husband constantly complimented me, and called me his Playboy model.
I was expressing my feelings to a good friend, and she suggested I get some Boudoir photos taken for my guy, so he'll never forget how I looked in my prime. She said she had a friend who did this, and it was a great experience. A couple of days later, she sent me the name of the photographer who offered this service, by the name of Tracy. After mulling it over a few days, I decided to do it as a Valentine's present for my husband.
I gave Tracy a call to get details and schedule an appointment, and was surprised that Tracy was a man. I was a little taken back, but after speaking with him for a little bit, for some reason i felt totally at ease with the idea. I mean, I was booking an appointment for a man I've never met to take pretty intimate photos of me. I figured I had a week to back out, so why not.
As the next few days went by, I found myself thinking constantly about what I was planning to do, and I was convinced i should. My husband would love the photos ( he often tried to take nudies of me on his phone, but I was way to nervous about where they might end up) and I was feeling a little turned on about playing the sexy model, exposing myself to the camera.
I called Tracy to confirm the date, and he gave me the details of the shoot. He said I could wear whatever I wanted, and pose anyway I'd like to. He also said I could reveal as little, or as much, as I was comfortable with. Most importantly, he told me that he keeps nothing from the session, all images are handed over to me. After shooting around 50 shots, I would pick the 10 best for an album, and we would delete the rest together. He gave me his word as a professional and I felt like he could be trusted. He just had a way about him. The cost was $495, a bit steep for me, but I agreed to it all.
