This morning I stumbled on Marlen James Photography – boudoir diary. I want this woman’s job. She takes photographs of naked (or near naked) people. Seriously. That is her job and dammit I want it. Her most recent post is a tutorial of sorts – how to take a decent “boudoir pic” (<— Yes, that means NAKED or at least in some fine underthings) of yourself without Photoshopping. If it doesn’t come out well, she’s offering her services to Photoshop the pic yourself (if you’re brave enough to send it to her!) for $10 each, which could be the cheapest gift that you give to your lovah this year, and the most appreciated. If you’re in Canada, you might be able to get this chick to do the shoot for free.
Since this is a lot cheaper than a surround sound system, you can bet what I’ve got planned for my husband this year. For every gift-giving occasion. Father’s Day? Naked pictures of your wife. Easter? Naked pictures of your wife. 4th of July? Naked pictures of your wife. Winter Solstice? Naked pictures of your wife.
You get the idea.
Anyway, head on over and read her quick & easy tutorial. It’s simple, but she offers a few tips and, most importantly, shares some damn sexy photos of herself. So you’ve got two poses to emulate, too! Unfortunately what she doesn’t explain is how to set the timer and get yourself over to the bed to pose while practicing self-bondage… anyone got a tutorial for that?
I won’t Photoshop your pictures, but feel free to send them to me, too. Or better yet? Submit that shit anonymously or otherwise to Boob Emancipation. OMG. Please. Yes. Now. Why is your shirt still on?!







Funny…I just had this conversation yesterday with a friend about a pin-up photoshoot. LOVE the idea of a personal gift like a naked (yet tasteful) picture for the man….
PS: My shirt is still on because I work in the family business.

hello lovely… but I have to admit, to have your photo taken naked you’d want to like what that looks like, right? eek.

@denise, hhaha – I know, we’re all SO critical of ourselves. I think a combination of photoshop and maybe some alcohol and we’ll be all set though…

Hi MommyGeek! Thanks for reading and posting my tutorial!
It does take a bit of courage (liquid or other wise) to strip you clothes (or pretend to) in front of a complete stranger but the results are always flattering! I want you to love your pictures and for you show then around and buy a poster for your bedroom.
When can I do yours?
