the real tami
hi all. i landed my dream couple. they booked me for september 08 and i am really stoked. fantastic venue, designer gown, tons of friends, etc.

so in addition to the engagement session we are doing next month, they want a 'boudoir' session, using both of them - sort of the him with his arms around her covering her breasts, but showing enough to know she is bare.

but other than that, i can't think of anything else? does anyone have any suggestions or examples they would like to show me?

i dont want to show up wiht nothing in mind and i have wracked my brain - i could do loads with just her, but with both of them, i'm coming up zeros.

anything would be appreciated,

tx,

Run to the bookstore and scour the high fashion magazines... You can take your cues from ads because alot of them include nearly naked guys/girls together;)

Yup, it will just have a big "W" for the title....see if you can find it there, becasue that would be the perfect inspiration!

I had one of these once - it was so much fun!

like everyone is suggesting I went and checked out all the magazines I could get my hands on - then I just asked the couple if they had any ideas - and of course, they had a million. Usually when folks ask for shoots like these, they already have some preconceived notions that they either saw somewhere[or even thought up in their head] be sure to ask if there's something specific they had in mind.

we ended up shooting in:

a bathtub [both empty - that was cold as heck - and full of suds]
their bed adorned with lots of white silky stuff
the kitchen counter
a pool table
an empty pool
a laundromat [this was late at night and HILARIOUS! none of us could stop laughing]
and in a school classroom - she was a schoolteacher so she had access to the building after it was closed]

best of luck! can't wait to see what you come up with

due to the nature of the photos, they couple had asked me not to use or display them... and I of course obliged. I'll drop them an e-mail and see if they'd be cool with me sharing... 'cause I'd love to pass them along!
