I really have your attention now don't I?! I wanted to give him something sentimental but yet "guy worthy" so I decided on... a... Boudoir book full of trashy yet classy photos of his wife... me! This was the ONLY gift I have ever kept a total surprise and secret from the hubs!
The day of the photo session, thank the good Lord above, he was going to a baseball game at a local University! He had asked me to go, but I told him I really wasn't feeling it! The week before, I had to secretly get his college baseball jersey from his mom's house without him knowing. Then about two days before the session, I had to hide ALL the lingerie and hooker heels in my car before he got home. Not to mention I had to pay for it with my separate credit card so he wouldn't notice any "missing money". Lots and lots of sneaking around but the end result was well worth it!
The book! |
I took photos of the book with my own camera and cropped them appropriately as to not show the whole blogging world what is really meant for my hubby! There were LOADS of more photos but I'm a lady in the streets, so we will keep this post classy! All original photos were taken by Rebecca Keeling Studios.
Probably one of my favorites! |

I seriously suggest doing this for your hubby if you haven't already!!! A lot of photographers will include it with your wedding package! Definitely look into it! You can keep the session as classy or trashy as you want, just make sure you are comfortable with the photographer you choose! Rebecca was awesome and made me feel very much at ease! I'm quite modest so even some of the "risque" photos made me feel uneasy but Rebecca made me feel so comfortable and the photos turned out perfect! It's definitely an outside of the box type gift, one your significant other will love, and one that will actually make you feel pretty darn good about yourself too!
Wishing ALL of you a fabulous weekend!!! Can't wait to see y'all Monday!!!!
XoXo,

One of my BFFs did this for her hubby for his bday. She said she had so much fun doing it. And can I just say that you look so super sexy??? Hot mama!
ReplyDeleteI totally want to do this!! Since I am hoping we will start fertility treatments soon, which will involve my husband having several "dates" with a plastic cup, I was thinking something like this would be helpful.
ReplyDeleteyou look amazing! The first one is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteOMG my best friend is doing that for her soon to be hubby! For I believe his wedding gift! I think I am going to to this for my "hubby" even though we aren't married. Lol. But we will! You look so pretty in those pictures! Your hair and make up looks gorgeous!!

ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend!!
Yay, a fellow VA blogger! :) This is such a great idea for a present. My 5 year wedding anniversary is coming up and I think this might be something my hubby would enjoy.. ;) Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteI did it for our wedding as his groom's gift! I loved it and felt so...sexy...which is NOT a word I use to describe myself at all!! It was fun seeing his reaction and something cute I know will last :) Glad your husband liked it!!
