Then I went to Mexico with brideslady G, as I mentioned not too long ago. One day, when we were just lounging on the beach, a guy came up to us promoting his photography business; basically, we could each get some fun beachy pictures taken separately and/or together for free, along with the rights to 3 of the pictures for free. If we decided we wanted additional pictures, we'd have to pay something like $15 for each one. I know this might sound a bit sketch, but I promise it's legit.
Anyway, we figured there was no harm in having some cute pictures taken, especially when it was no cost to us. I mean, it's not like we'd end up wanting or getting more than the 3 free prints, right? So we did it, and it was actually kind of fun! Albeit a bit embarrassing when the photog had us pose on the beach in front of a bajillion other people. Supermodel, I am not.
We were able to see the prints the next day, and we were both pretty shocked at how, well, awesome they looked. It occurred to me that these just might be able to serve as a sort of alternative boudoir photoshoot that I could gift to Foxy, as Mrs. Button's had previously talked about. Which is how I ended up spending a healthy sum of money on about 20 or so pictures for the Mr. Those photogs are sneaky, yo. They know their stuff, and know how to make a girl look gooooood.
If anything, when I'm old and gray, these pictures will serve as proof that I used to look pretty decent at one point in my life.
FY to the I: possible not suitable for work photos ahead (are bikinis risqué...?).
You might have noticed that sweet red line down my leg in the last photo. That would be my sun poisoning. The poor photog did his best to edit it out, but there's just no hiding that shiz.
Now of course, I couldn't wait until closer to the wedding to gift these to Foxy. I gave him the CD of pictures the very night I got home, and he loved them. So much so that he even made the next picture his desktop at work.
To which his coworker, who didn't know that was me, asked, "so does she come with the hotel?"
To which Foxy replied "Uh.. no. That's my fiancé."
Buuuuuuuuurn.
Are you doing boudoir photos for your SO? If so, would you consider doing something a bit different, like a sassy beach shoot?
