Anyone else who has tips from their shoots feel free to add!

your b-pics were hot!  I'll definitely take your advice anytime ; )

bump- want to make sure you girls see this!

1. relax and breathe - it will all be ok

2. do not force the "sexy look" - just be yourself

3. just know the first 15 minutes worth of pics are gonna be crap - you're nervous, the photog is trying to find his/her rhythm - once it "clicks" you'll know what to do w/o much direction

4. throw insecurity and inhibition out the door - you called to ask for pics of you to be taken in some state of undress - so tha'ts half the battle - now just let loose

5. do not wonder how youre going to look AS the photog is snapping away - the pensiveness will show on your face

6. accept your body's natural movement - yes some shots need you to stretch or arch - but try not to be a contortionist - this will show on your face too

7. eat before you go - even if it's a bowl of cereal or some oatmeal or something - just so you're "content" and not thinking - sh!t i'm staaaarving in the middle of shooting

8. you dont need to buy a crapload of new stuff - look in your closet - wear what you love - and you may be surprised and end up not wearing anything at all

9. think outside the normal b-pics we've all seen - at some point - these become for you to celebrate your body and womanhood too

10. RELAX AND BREATHE!!!  IT WILL ALL BE OK!

 

ooh yes, I agree eat beforehand! I didn't and my stomach was growling. 

Good advice.  I really want to do B-Pics. I just have to lose more weight first. Plus, I have plenty of time before the wedding. lol....

great article!

Geez I get so nervous thinking about this. I want to do it for my FI but I'm real shy. I like the article.
