Throughout the years of being married to the current wife she has had 3 seating for boudoir shots. The first guy that took her photos was ok, nothing special. The shoot lasted about 2 hours and it was mostly nudes of her. I wasn't there but we were able to pick a few nice ones and I had one enlarged for over our bed.
A few years later we were referred to a guy in Los Gatos Ca. We went to him and discussed what we were looking for. We wanted to do the typical boudoir pics along with some nudes. The studio was booked for a week later and we showed up about mid morning. The studio had a make-up woman so she did the make-up about an hour before the shoot. The studio provided us with champagne and the shoot started about 1:00 P.M. The photographer was a great guy and was quite funny. He would pose on the brass bed to give my wife an idea what he was looking for.
As the shoot went on the champagne continued and about 20 photos later he asked my wife if she was ready to pose for the nudes. She stepped into the changing room and emerged completely nude except for a very sexy pair of white heels. The photographer shot probably another 20 pictures of her in all different nude poses. It was quite erotic to watch her pose and to see him direct her into all the different poses and expressions. All in all the entire session lasted close to 4 hours. As we discussed the session my wife just hung out in the studio nude sipping her last glass of champagne.
A few weeks later he called us and we went to the studio to review the pics. Out of all the pics he took I think I may have not purchased a half a dozen. I had him print a couple large ones on canvass for the bedroom. We did a album of 8X10s too.
Well a few years later I discovered that the colors were beginning to run and I contacted him about it. He contacted the company that did the development and they said that they apparently had a bad batch of chemicals and there were some complaints.
The photographer and the development company offered us to take some new photos so we went back to shot probably 15 of the nudes. Again, champagne flowed and we shot well into the evening hours. It was very erotic to watch her pose again for him and the camera. She was very comfortable with him and he was quite cool and saw every inch of her.
Those big portraits are still hanging in our bedroom.
