That's all there is to say!!

I'm so loving that you did the veil too.I don't think I'm going to get married with a veil but I will be buying one anyway just for the shoot!

you look stunning...very impressive pics! thanks for sharing.

Here are some of my shots from jenerations photography:

Wow to you too!! this thread just gets hotter and hotter! i'm so glad you are all sharing your stories...when I was debating doing a shoot I was so nervous and a bit insecure about doing one, but it was hearing from people like you girls that convinced me

I just need to go to my kickboxing classes 4 times instead of 3 times a week. lol I just need to find some in NY that are not to expensive.

DO IT. DO IT. DO IT. DO IT!!!!!! lol I feel empowered already and I haven't even done mine yet!!

kamilla those are some hot shots, thanks for sharing.

 

And I totally agree about the professional make up tip It really helps!

how's everyone's planning going for those of you who haven't had their BD sessions yet? got your outfits all sorted or planned?

Hi girls, I'm having my next BD shoot in a couple weeks, but I've been holding out on you all. Got my cd of pics from the one I had in Jan & figured I should share - it's only fair right? The shoot I had wasn't quite what I had in mind - they specialize more in pin-ups & I really want BD shots, but here's a few of them anyway.

 

 

 

 

I've got different outfits lined up for round 2.

Karen!!!! Hooooooooooooooootttttttttttttt!!!! LOVE THEM! I really wanted to do pin-up photo shoot and I may even do another one just because I had so much fun on my first one.

 

Thanks so much for sharing, you look amazing!!

[KarenM]

thanks!

 

I had a great time doing it so I'd definitely recommend going for the pin-ups too! And you can go as glam or retro as you want. Mine weren't as pin-up-y as my friends - they had the real pin-up makeup (red lips & liquid liner), hair and outfits. One used fun props like a globe, glasses, & stack of books for a naughty teacher look and another had a phone cord wrapped around her leg w/ a 50's housewife look. It was so cute!

I think it'll be nice to have the variety of shots in the book I give FI too.

Hi Finleys7

Glad too hear everything went well for you. I live in NJ, just wondering who you used and if it was affordable. Can you PM me the info and pricing? It would be a huge help. Thanks so much!

I don't know how I missed this but hello HOTNESS!!!! LOVE IT! I wish I were skinny like you... love these so much!

[finleys7]

KittenHeart...what are you talking about...you are beautiful. And just an FYI - I'm not skinny...the photographer is just THAT good! =)

 

Jenise, it was Jen from Beautiful and Affordable Photography

 

I would email Jen about the pricing as I think 2010 have changed, but I booked in 2009. Also I had a few girlfriends as well, there was a total of 4 of us. Some photographers give a discount for a few girls rather than a single shoot. Whatever the price, she is TOTALLY worth it. Somewhere around $425 and $100 for makeup.

All you girls live in NY! I am soo amazed with your photos, And then i look at the location and its NY! ...wish it was Chicago.

 

Did you girls get Disks with your pics? I have found a new photographer but most don't want to include the disks. As a graphic design this is a deal breaker for me.
