I'm so excited. I've had a few ups and downs with my photographers so far, mostly in that they had a baby, which caused them to really poorly estimate time-of-arrival on my pictures. It was worth it though... they are sooooo hot.
My suggestions:
1. Do it. Seriously. I felt so sexy after taking those pictures, and so good about myself after seeing them. It's also going to be a nice reminder that I was young and hot once when I'm no longer young and hot.
2. Bring a lot of outfits. You'll never know what you like best. One outfit I loved on me, but I'm back and forth on how I feel about it in pictures. But the ones in my Redskins jersey, or in John's hat and scarf are AMAZING, so much sexier than I thought. I also love my non-traditional boudoir outfits: two black dresses. One made for very sexy pictures, and the other made for great, classy photos that we were able to take out in the hallway.
3. Start with fun pictures. My first pictures are of me jumping on the bed in a tank top and shorts, and you can tell from the pictures that I'm having fun. Those came out so much better than I expected.
4. Make suggestions, and take your photographer's suggestions! A lot of the best pictures are ones that I suggested and they tweaked a little.
5. If you're nervous, bring someone. I dragged my MOH along, and I'm glad I did. I felt really comfortable having her there and giving suggestions.
Just enjoy yourself! I'm having an album made for John and I'm giving it to him as a wedding gift. I can't wait to see his face when I give it to him! Did you do boudoir pics? Do you plan to?

I totally would have done that pre-pg, but now I just don't have the body image thing at the same level. I personally wouldn't, but if someone feels they look great then why not.
