    Has anyone thought of doing a boudoir session not for your honey but as a reward for meeting your fitness goals?  I"m kind of thinking about doing that.

    I guess I've gotten to the stage in my life where I realize that I should love and appreciate my young body and am starting to realize that it is going to change one day.  And I think it might be just the motivation I need to stick to my weight lifting plan...

    What do you think - would anyone else consider doing a boudoir shoot not for your wedding or your man but to commemorate all the hard work you put into your body?  Just for yourself?

    That's a great idea! I'd def. be doing it for my hubs, and not for myself though. A good fitness reward for me would be a massive spa day... not posing in front of a camera in the buff :) But, if you worked hard for the body, I can't think of a better way to commemorate it!

    Yes!  I'm looking at all the perks of getting toned: boudior session as a gift for him, having awesome arms for my strapless dress, and wearing a bikini at the honeymoon!

    I think that's a great idea.  My husband only recently found out that these exist (post-wedding) and now he wants me to do a boudoir session as an anniversary or birthday present.  I figure I'm not even going to consider it until my body is looking a little better!

    what about as a combination present, for you because you look hot and for him because well, lets face it, you look hot!

    I decided that I was doing this when I saw the amazing boudoir pics other bees posted a couple days ago!

    It will be a gift for him of course but I would really like to take pics of me at my best (if I can get there) It has been great motivation while at the gym and with my eating so far!

    Oh yeah, the idea has definitely crossed my mind.  If all goes well, I'm looking to get pics done early next year.  LOL, the idea of posing in near nakidness pushes me to workout that much more!

    I was thinking that it would be an interesting gift, but I think this would be the perfect time to do this (when I reach my goals).  Fun.

    I wasn't comfortable doing a boudoir shoot before, but now that I've toned up, I so want to do it! I think it sounds like a great plan.

    I'm right there with lemondrop .  This has been my plan for the last couple months.  I started a body challenge this past weekend and it's 8 weeks long, i plan on getting pictures done end of May early June.  So, it can be a wedding present for my soon to be hubby.  Also, a present for me to see my hard work pay off : ) I'm very excited and feel its great motivation and gives me that extra push!! Good Luck girls!

    What a great idea!  And it's a good way to keep your fitness goals on track!  I may look into booking this at the end of the summer so that I have something to work towards!

    I would LOVE to do it for myself!! I think it'd be great! But depending on how good they turn out - I'd probably have to show my man :)

    I loved getting my pictures taken and it was great when the photographer commented on how great my stomach looked.  It really made all the work worth it!  And of course my husband loved them too!
