My wifes modeling career
 

When we first got married I asked her to pose nude for me. She agreed to try and see if she liked it. We shot several times. At first no nudes. Later some partial and finally the whole package. I'll start with the non-nudes and one teaser.

As she got more comfortable in her skin she began to show more.

She definitely has nothing to be uncomfortable about in skin like that! She's magnificent, not to mention, wow what an ass!

She finally began to enjoy herself. Showing more in the process.

By now she is having a lot more fun. She decides going completely nude will be OK. She also decided that a bit of pubic hair wouldn't hurt either.

She isn't trying to hide anything now. As long as it is external. (No peeks under the pubic hair....yet)

Thank you for sharing these! She is lovely. For the historically inclined, could you annotate with years?

Wow, she really is gorgeous. I am a huge fan of a full bush!!

I made no attempt to "pose" her. I was the camera man. She posed herself. I've been asked to put some dates on these photos. Since 45 years have passed the month and day are lost to time. However all of the photos were taken in 1974 and 1975.

Wow!
 

Absolutely gorgeous! And SO uninhibited and natural and having so much fun with it all! That makes it twice as sexy! And I HAVE to mention what a beautiful naturally hairy beaver! So thick and full!

Continuing the trend she is showing no reluctance to exhibit her pubic region. Still no spread....yet. She never shaved down there. (She hated the itch when it began to grow back)

She is truly stunning and a natural in front of the camera. Her bush is beautiful!

A lovely model, and excellent photography to boot. Tasteful and interesting -- a rare combination.

If I may ask, how old was she when these were taken?

A break from pubic hair this time. These are some alternate takes on some of the same subjects I've already posted. I am including them in the interest of being complete. I have been asked her age when these were taken. She was 23 at the time. Oh, check out the last picture. She finally took my advice to open up her legs. Take a good look though and notice that she is wearing panties covering the hair. Then check out the expression on her face. A cocky smirk since she knows she put one over on me.

Sorry I screwed that up. It would help to include the photos.

Great photos, and (no pun intended) a tremendous shag carpet. You are the highlight of my morning. :)

About the shag carpet. You should have seen the one on the floor when we moved in. We actually had a tool (a shag rug rake) to rake out the carpet. Glad those are over with. Over the last two years I have posted 8 photos of my wife in different forums and threads. None of those showed a recognizable face. I intend to include those photos over the next few days in order to have her complete collection in one place. I apologize in advance for the duplication. So todays set is the "window and door" set. Funny isn't it, that a woman who didn't want ANYONE to see her naked, posed so often by our front room window. (The curtain is only a sheer and was almost transparent so any of our neighbors could have seen her posing if they only had looked)

By this time there was only one more barrier for her to overcome in her posing. We had discussed it in the beginning but she really was against it so I never pursued the subject. Then during one of her last modeling sessions she selected a pose and with no hesitation or discussion, and completely relaxed swung her legs wide open and waited for me to take the shot. That is the last photo in this post. I included the shot in the motel room because she was having so much fun with me. That was taken when she was about 30 while we were on a vacation.

You needn't apologize! Your aim for completionism is much appreciated. Feel free to sprinkle in clad pictures for contrast! :)

The question has to be asked , what does your wife think of the posting of her pictures .

did she ever think that she would show other people at the time she posed for them .

what a great set of photos to look back on , the 70 s a life time ago for many of us .

So, back then there were no digital cameras. You had to take your photos someplace to have someone develop the film and print. Did you guys get lots of attention and special looks when you went to pick up your photos? What did you wife think when you were both just starting out and she was still unsure and shy about a stranger seeing and probably keeping copies of your pics for himself (and showing to his buddies)?

Oh, and by the way your wife is beautiful and looks to have a fun playful attitude. I'm sure these photo sessions enhanced your love life!

Developing the photos
 

I think that if we had been forced to have the pictures developed by someone else that would have been a deal breaker as far as her posing. Luckily I had been developing my own Black and White film for quite a few years. The color shots were done on slide film. You could buy a kit that would allow you to develop your own slides. So no one but us ever had to see the shots. Thankfully the transition to digital brought all the tools needed to "clean up" all of these pictures. I was able to correct the exposure, and adjust the color. Plus I was able to remove most of the 45 years of dust, dirt, scratches and other damage. It seemed to take forever but considering the subject matter it was a pure labor of love.

Once she finally made up her mind that it was OK to spread her legs she lost ALL of her inhibitions as far as posing went. From the first of todays photos of her gently opening herself up (difficult to see because of all her hair) to the last picture of her completely revealed she never hesitated. I think she looks totally unembarrassed, unashamed, and in fact proud of her body. By the way, that last "exposure" was all her idea. She wanted to take one slightly "dirty" picture. Interesting, isn't it, that it was only that pose that she considered dirty, and even then only slightly.

She's delicious :)

First of all: your wife is beautiful! Secondly: thank you very much for sharing these wonderful photos. I've thoroughly enjoyed them from beginning to end. It's been a real thrill to see such a gorgeous initially shy wife take the first shy tentative steps into posing saucily for her husband, right through to full nude with legs spread. So exciting to see her completely exposed in the final photos. A fabulous thread, and very much appreciated. Thank you.

Gorgeous
 

She is gorgeous and so sexy and open minded. Really looks like she is enjoying herself and that makes it even sexier. Her hairy pussy is beautiful and even better spread open! A true beauty! I only hope there are more!

We have come to the last of her nudes. (I also included two clothed pictures). One of the nudes is what you would call an "outtake". She has a very strange and not very appealing expression on her face. As before I included it to keep the collection complete. When we first started dating she was ashamed of how she viewed her body. On our second date, when she seemed to think things might be starting to develop between us, she made a point of "warning" me that she didn't have much in the way of breasts. I think that's why her agreeing to pose nude means so much to me. I wish I had a thousand more nudes to enjoy and share with you. We talked about further posing sessions but have never seemed to find the time. I will have two more posts tomorrow with a few pictures (all of them clothed, if you consider a bathing suit clothing) I will also tell you a few things more about my wife that should make my reasons for posting her pictures a bit clearer.

You really were (are?) a fantastic photographer, and your subject, of course, is exquisite. These rival professional Playboy shots of the period. Thank you so much for sharing.

Amazing set
 

This is among best I seen on the OCC Forum

Beautiful
 

Small or not, her big, puffy nipples make her breasts absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for sharing her.

So here is the final part of our story. We met, in 1973, at a picnic sponsored by the company where she and my father both worked. Three weeks later I asked her to marry me. (Yes that was pretty fast). There are a milliion stories I could tell you about her but this one best shows the qualities she possessed that captured my love forever. The unpredictability, the sense of fun, and the stubborn insistence on getting her own way. From what I've written before you know that she was pretty shy about her body. She NEVER wanted anyone but the doctor or myself to see her naked. No one else. So the idea of her doing anything that could be thought of as exhibitionism was beyond my imagining. In 1990 (making her 39 years old) we were on vacation in San Diego California. Our motel was only a few blocks from the crowded downtown area. It was surrounded by multi story apartment buildings and tall office towers. All with very good views of the motel grounds including the outdoor pool. It was our last day of vacation and we wanted to take one final swim. I took a couple of pictures of her in her bathing suit and then locked the camera in our room. When I got back outside she was already in the pool.....and her swimsuit was outside the pool on a lounge chair. After swimming and playing around for about 45 minutes we were ready to get dressed to go out for dinner. I expected her to ask me to get the suit so she could put it on in the pool. Instead she climbed out retrieved her suit, and walked naked back to our room. When I asked her what in the world she had been thinking of when she did that, all she would say was "Well I couldn't know for SURE that anyone was watching us". For whatever reason she had decided she wanted to swim naked that day and nothing was going to stop her. That was her one and only experience in skinny dipping. Not in some lake deep in the woods away from anyone who could see her but out in the open, in the bright sunlight, in the middle of a city of one and a quarter million people. She made sure that life was never boring. The first two photos are the swimsuit pictures I just mentioned, and the last ones are what I think are her two most seductive photos. We spent over 45 years together, always as deeply in love as the day we married and impossibly happy, up to the day she passed away, Dec 26 2019. She was 68, her name was Helena and she was my best friend. Even though she said she never wanted anyone to see her naked, I wanted people to see how beautiful she was, and how playful she was, and how brave she was. The internet and OCC have given me a chance to showcase her. I want to thank all of you who have stopped by to visit her and for all the kind things you have had to say. She would have been greatly surprised and touched by all the positive and flattering things you had to say about her. Though there will be no new nude photos of her posted, pay a return visit occasionally to see her again. If any of you downloaded some of these pictures for your own collection, enjoy them with our compliments. You know her name now so you can tell your friends about her and point them toward OCC where she lives on, hopefully forever. Thank you all again.

I have one final thing to say. I've been asked how Helena would feel about my posting her pictures on OCC. When we first took them she was dead set against anyone ever seeing them. When the internet got itself going I asked her about putting them on the web. She asked if anyone would see her. I told it was possible that everyone in the world would see her. I wasn't too surprised when she again said NO. She repeated that no one was to see her naked. However, in 2016, she had to go into a skilled nursing facility for two years. One day some of the CNA's and nurses asked if we could show them some pictures of her when she was younger. Helena told me to show them some of the photos I had on my IPAD. I reminded her what kind of pictures they were. To my complete surprise she said that it would be OK with her for them to see her like that. I told her she had to select the pictures herself. She chose four including one full frontal shot. Well, the CNA's were blown away. The idea that this "old lady" had done something like that fascinated them. (These were young kids of 18 or 19) The nurses were close to Helena's age and they both admitted that they wouldn't have had the nerve to pose like that. For the rest of her stay the "kids" would bring new CNA's in to see the pictures so they would know how "cool" Helena was. Later I asked her if we could finally put her pictures on the internet. She said that if the day came that she wouldn't have to worry about any of her friends seeing them I could do what I thought best. Thats what I have done. So while she probably wouldn't be exactly happy with me for what I have done, she would understand why I did it. I want to end my postings on a positive note, so here are four pictures taken on some of the many vacations we enjoyed together. On behalf of Helena and myself thank you again for all your attention and interest. We had a lot of fun taking the pictures and I have been glad to get the chance to present them to you.

Just to say thank you for posting the photos you have .

We would hope that you will stay part of this forum

Oh the 70's. The golden age of 35mm photography. Did you develop and print your own film? I really enjoyed working in a photographers lab back then.

Never mind. I finished reading all your posts and I am so sorry for your loss. Helena was a beautiful person and soul.
It is obvious from your story that you two had what millions prey for. Sharing her story with us was brave and, at least by me, appreciated. When I first saw her my first thought was Bettie Page. She had that look. You ability with the camera is great as well.
Thank you again for this amazing story.

Thank you for sharing your love with us. We grieve and celebrate with you.

Briefly back
 

Hi again. I have a couple of things. First off I neglected to thank whomever it was that set up this thread. My first posts here were in another thread. When I went to post again I found my earlier post had been moved to this special thread. I didn't set this up so whoever did thank you very much. It really made it a more special for me. Second item. In a couple of weeks I'm going to resume scanning most of my slides and pictures to digital files. (I have around 3 to 4 thousand slides alone) The point is that Helena is in a lot of these photos. NOT NUDE but still. I was thinking of posting some of these on OCC. I know there are various threads with non-nude photos. So your opinions please. Should I post in one of those existing threads, should I create a new non-nude thread for Helena or should I continue using this thread. (Or of course the fourth option not posting any additional pictures of her at all just letting the existing ones stand) Let me know please. It will be a month or so before I am ready to post anymore. I will attach one sample of what I am talking about. This is another from our vacations.

You keep them all right here, my brother. 'Seal has spoken.

This is so cool! Yes, please do continue to post. Details as to year and circumstance would be great for memorializing this wonderful person.

My wifes life in front of the camera
 

Having received a blessing to continue from Seal and encouragement from others I will follow my plan to post some more about Helena in this thread. As I said it will take a great deal of time to upload and then digitally cleanup the slides/prints but will post from time to time. Note the title change to "in front of the camera" since she really didn't "model" for these pictures. In the first picture uploaded today you will notice that she is removing a camera from its case. She started taking pictures with a Leica camera her dad loaned her. Later, at her request, I bought a Minolta SLR and set of lenses and other equipment for her. She was a very good photographer. In fact when I pick landscapes to paint, more often than not I find that it is one of her photos that I am painting. That particular photo was taken about 1980 somewhere in Colorado. The second picture is taken in Monument Valley around 1987. The last picture (a bit out of focus, there wasn't enough room or light to take a really sharp shot) is taken in Naples Italy in 1974. I was with the navy stationed in Naples and she came over to stay for a month after we got married. The location is a Kentucky Fried Chicken store. I guess they didn't think that Kentucky would mean anything to the Italians so the store was actually called "The Colonel's Special Chicken". It was just a "hole in the wall" store but was the real deal. A very strange feeling eating very familiar food in a totally foreign environment.
