Anyone ever tried this? I was considering doing this for my fiance. I checked online and there is a place just a few miles from my home. I'm thinking of making it a gift to myself and him after I reach goal.

Anybody have input on or experience with this??

I haven't had any personal experience with it, but I have a girlfriend that had it done and the photos turned out FABULOUS. It gave her a huge confidence boost and it's a pretty neat keepsake.

I think you should go for it!

I did it quite a few years ago and to this day, people still rave about how beautiful the pics came out (because of course I showed them to everyone LOL!) It's a lot of fun. I would recommend getting more than one roll of film because it takes at least that to get yourself really warmed up .

I've done my own for kicks and giggles. It's super fun, and the pictures ALWAYS look good years down the line (unless you become a super-prude and just hate all things like that, haha). Go do it!

I had some friends do this and the results have always been awesome! Definitely do it if you can and want to

Would be an awesome gift for a significant other and a keepsake/confidence booster for yourself.

A friend of mine is a photographer and she does this kind of photography. I SOOO want to do it!!

I say go for it!!

Edit: I just sent her a message on Facebook to see if she would be willing to help me out with something like that. :#) I'm excited, but scared to death! I'm sooooooo self-conscious about my body.

I haven't done it, but I do have it down as one of my rewards for reaching goal. I want to see myself as sexy!!! GO FOR IT! I have seen some and they have all been really beautiful.

Go for it!

There's this photographer, Scott Church,
that I absolutely love! I love his ability to
show how a woman's body is a work of art.

That's what he is. Not just a photographer,
but an artist. He has such amazing talent.

He works with all kinds of people- men, women,
big, thin, families, weddings, etc.
He does nudes as well, but here's his link to
his glamor photography.

Thanks for all of the support on this! Still wanting to wait until goal, but already thinking about what I should wear, etc. I'll post if/when I take the plunge.

a must do!

Actually i was pretty chubby when i did mine

but i didn't care! i put on a school girl skirt and a white blouse and the guy who was taking the pics and me had a great time! my Hubby put the photo's in His office (almost all guys) and He later told me almost every guy that came in said "is that your WIFE?" LOL!! i love it. i think i was sick when God passed out the shyness.

Cool ! My friend is a photographer, and I hope to do some of these shots once I'm closer to my goal.

I'm really into photography, and use to do some amateur modelling like 20 years ago when I was in the high 130's. I look forward to being confident again in front of a camera.

Thanks for the link, Ciao.

I actually had my friend do a set of photos of me after I saw her blog where she does this every week for a year. If you have your own camera, you could always practise and figure out poses and things that work out for you.

Here's her link if you want ideas http://claimyourbeauty.wordpress.com

View some of the early shots from before the project started when she was just playing around

YES! this is my reward for when i reach goal. i want some to show to friends that are interested in seeing them...more of the sexy, but not tooooo sexy ones. and some for my hubby and i. i think it would be fun, make me feel hot, and my husband would sure like it. i can't wait.

I'm a photographer, and I can't wait until I find myself attractive enough to be my own model. When that time comes, shoot, I'm going to do a new set every week.
