Grits,

My wife's photos were Only altered through making a few Black and white.. no filters, no crazy photo shop, no BS... But I have seen some and gone:

"who the fuck is that?"
"HOW did you lose 40lbs for that picture two weeks ago and then gain it all back!" -Thought, but never said.
"Hmm... you look very different!"

GRITS = Girls Ruined In The South!!!

The South... pff... bunch of quitters!!! Take the Civil War for example!!! :p;)

UH OH.

My wife's done a little bit of modelling/promo work in the past and a photographer she worked with on a small job recently offered her some studio time he had available for some photos. She went along to take some photos for me as a surprise and asked me what sort of photos I would like. It became obvious that both of us wanted her to do topless at least, I pressed for more but since it was a male photographer who was a sort of friend of a friend she was a bit wary of going further.

The photos were amazing :D she was fully topless in quite a few of the photos and I for me it's such a turn on that she was topless in front of someone else and I got to see the photos. I'm just gutted she didn't go fully nude

I thought I had written something on this but apparently not so here's the long and the short of it.

My wife has done (4) sittings. All were very good a couple sittings were sensational. Yes, there was some soft light (it's suppose to be a bedroom right?). The studio has a make up person which merely enhanced her make up for the camera.
She started with shoot with the usual multiple lingerie sets and as it went on she posed more revealing ending up nude with full frontal and back side.
The photos turned out very good! In my opinion boudoir photography is a form of fantasy photography. If you want a photo of your wife/gf naked with no fantasy effects then so be it but hell you can do that at home. We wanted photos that we could put in an album and hang on the wall. Different strokes right?

Musta' missed my smiley faces in my post stating my fun ribbing... sorry for your soft skin

Yikes! calm down guys.
Some of us (Jerseyites for instance) have incredibly thick skins, others, not so much.
But also, some of us must realize that to certain others, losing that war ain't nothing to joke about either.

"Can't we all just be friends?"

Fun and respect
 

I have done many boudoir photos and as long as there is respect between all parties they are great fun and a wonderful way to spice up your sex life :)

Lovely surprise
 

My (now ex) wife surprised me many years ago with a boudoir photo set while I was deployed to the Persian Gulf during Desert Storm. She didn't sent them to me all at once but spread the set out over a couple of months to make it more exciting waiting for her letters.

She started out wearing a red teddy along with my old leather flight jacket and holding my old flight helmet. The next portion she sent was in a black corset with matching panties and stockings. The following portion she had changed from the corset to a black teddy, but had exposed her exquisite breasts. The final portion she was completely nude, but lying on her side with her beautiful ass toward the camera and partially d****d in a black satin sheet.

Needless to say, as a deployed sailor I jerked off many times to these wonderful photos.

Brothers in arms
 

Mrspock,

I assume you were kind enough to share those photos with the rest of your platoon. :D

My wife is a huge supporter of the arts in our community, specifically, visual arts, painting, photography. She arranges for speakers at the Arts Council meeting, we travel to art shows, host parties, the whole deal. She saw this painter's work at a local show and loved it, she arranged to have him speak at a meeting held at our home, BTW his specialty was portrait paintings.

After the meeting my wife told me she would love to have him paint her portrait, since it was expensive, she was checking with me 1st. My business was doing well at the time, so I gave her the go ahead since this was like a dream of hers. I wanted to be surprised so I stayed out of it.

His studio was about 100 miles from where we lived, so her posing sessions were all day trips and she went 3 or 4 times. Finally it was finished and we had an unveiling party, just close family and friends, and the painting was very good, worth every penny, museum quality. Then after everyone left she said I have another surprise for you, this is why it was so expensive, she brought out another canvas, unveiled it, and there was this beautiful reclining nude of her. How daring was it? Full frontal, everything exposed.

I loved it, especially when she described how turned on she was exposing herself to the painter, but the problem was where do we hang this, certainly not in the den, too many family members, like granddaughters etc.. So I built a cabinet frame to hang it in the master bedroom with doors to cover it up when it others were around. I thought my cabinet was as much a work of art as the painting.

Who did see it? The AC repair guy, the bug man, maid service, remodeling crew when we had some work done, I think some of those guys took pics of it. So what happens, our house is robbed one day, and they took the nude, police detective, says that is the first art work her has ever seen stolen. My mail suspect is one of the guys in the remodel crew.
