    Has anyone ever tried doing their own boudoir photos? I already bought my fi's wedding gift, but I know he would love love love boudoir pictures. I am an amateur photographer with photoshop skills - and have considered trying to do them myself... just make up my bed real nice and use the self timer on my nikon..

    has anyone ever done this before? did you like the turn out? thanks!!

    I found this other board post with people talking about DIY boudior pictures.  There is a link in there to someone who did take her own pictures.  There was also a Bee that did it, can't remember who right now though.

    I tried doing some today... a tripod is a must. I left mine at my house, and was doing them at my fiances (less people to walk in ;)), well it was really hard, so a tripod would be a big help. I'd be able to do more shots. 

    anyway I'm going to do it again in a couple days and bring more clothing options and a tripod.
