Has anyone done a couples photoshoot, been with my partner a little while now and hes asked about a boudoir style shoot together to spuce things up a bit as lets face it things do settle down after the initial excitement of a new relationship. Im a little bit nervous but also curious

What was the "holiday shoot" and why did it give you confidence?

Beachlover1993 · 31/07/2026 09:31

If you want the photos why not set up at home and take your own? Surely more intimate than at a photo studio?

OriginalSkang · 31/07/2026 09:35

I don't get what's intimate about this?

OriginalSkang · 31/07/2026 09:35

Is it just for him to wank over later? What will you do with the photos?

Why is a hotel more intimate than your bedroom?

Beachlover1993 · 31/07/2026 09:37

I dont feel it would be the same, the style ive seen on various sites look well presented, one of the uses a hotel in Leicester and in the morning it also includes breakfast

Is it a buffet? I say go for it.

Hi Op think you may have got very different replies on the sex thread. If you think it would spice things up, why not do it? You're not harming anyone, and it's your money.

I think you're much better creating your own images that you and your DH enjoy than seeking other men/ women to look at through a filter. Mn always makes me smile with its "Oh my gosh" responses while their Nigel looks at women on Insta or grot on the net!

@Beachlover1993and for anyone reading that is interested, have a look at Love is art, another fun way to spice things up

Beachlover1993 · 31/07/2026 09:40

We went away no long ago , had a kinda random evening/night time shoot on the beach. The pictures were fine and have them in a book but would like couple for our bedroom and maybe another book or portfolio for us to look through together

Oh my God, I can't think of anything worse! 😬

Maybe do one with a self timer on your camera at home, but only between the 2 of you, no-one else there.

But not a boudoir photoshoot cringe!

StressyMcStressFace · 31/07/2026 09:41

I have a related but not entirely relevant story to tell. I used to work with a woman who had a "saucy" photo shoot done for her 40th birthday. A work colleague showed me a pic on FB. She was quite obviously topless but was lying on a fluffy rug with lots of cleavage but nothing else on show. Photo was taken face on.

Well a couple of months ago this woman sadly died in her mid sixties. Some people i know were at the funeral. And you'll never believe what photo they used for the order of service. Yes, you guessed it, the full on clevage, soft focus, 15 years out of date sultry photoshoot photo! I actually couldn't believe they used that! It was absolute cringe! 😬 😅

If you’re with the right person, nothing should need sprucing up. It’s so cheesy!

Beachlover1993 · 31/07/2026 09:42

That is kinda cool

Nothing says sexy like a hotel in Leicester. This has to be a wind up?

I feel like I've travelled to the 1980s and I'm reading Just 17.

A portfolio? That's going to cost.

Beachlover1993 · 31/07/2026 09:44

I do kinda get that, but we are both behind the idea, im kinda finding the idea more exiciting the more i get used to it.

I do hope that was her final wish.
