I had erotic and nude photos taken professionally for my 50th birthday to prove I could still be sexy and desirable despite middle-aged body issues. I had seen this type of photography featured on the TV and immediately thought "Oh yes, I absolutely have to do that."
So in the month after booking it I attempted to tone up (in particular a certain portion of my stomach!) so I cut out sweets, chocs, biscuits, cakes and did regular stomach crunches...... to no avail. I didn't lose an ounce!!!!
But that didn't thwart me and I went off on the train to the venue I had booked (a long way from where I lived in case anyone saw me entering!). After some dramas with the train being delayed and missing my connection, I finally arrived.
The firm I had booked it with were a husband and wife team called Mighty Aphrodite http://www. mightyaphrodite.co.uk/main.php Zena did the make up and Leigh the photography. They made me very welcome and relaxed. You start off wearing whatever undies you bring with you (in my case a black and red basque, black stockings and heels) and they gradually ask you to take off an item at a time, with no pressure if you don't want to take anything off.
Well, when it came to it I had NO problems whipping my kit off!!!
The resulting photos were FABULOUS and I would recommend it anyone considering something similar.
Jennifer's experience inspired an erotic romance which was published by Siren Publishing. Here's the cover and an excerpt:
The collywobbles
hit her stomach when she stood from the makeup stool, and Lee said, “Okay,
Ellie. Are you ready?”
Ellie took one
look at the satin sheet-covered bed on which she would be photographed. Ready? That was an overstatement. “Yeah
sure,” she replied breezily, pretending a nonchalance she didn’t have.
Actually, a portion of her was getting really excited. At least this was the
part of the session in her sexy undies. She knew she would be expected to take
some items off as the shoot went on, but doubted it would be more than her
shoes and stockings. Ellie had visited the lingerie store from where her
sister-in-law, Rebecca, had bought something when celebrating her one month
anniversary with her now husband, Jon. While Rebecca had chosen a startling
black-and-red basque for her vivid looks, Ellie opted for something more suited
to her own coloring which was shoulder-length, pale-blonde hair with hazel
eyes, and had therefore plumped for a pale-green outfit.
“Can you lay
facedown across the bed, facing me this end?” Lee asked, breaking into her
ruminations. He waited while she complied. Clambering onto a bed wasn’t the
easiest thing to do while wearing high heels.
She laughed at the situation.
Arriving in the
position requested she felt okay as it hid her skinny front.
“That’s it, now
lift your feet and cross them at the ankles. Excellent. That looks so good, but
widen your knees so that your feet are crossing more. Oh yes, that’s terrific.
Very sexy.” Lee snapped his shots constantly as she moved.
His compliments
were heartening, and Ellie started to feel good.
“Now place your
wrists one over the other. Just relax them. Great. Now turn your face toward
me. Super, but tilt your head down slightly so that you are looking down to the
floor.”
Ellie felt her
face going slightly red at this point at all the focus on her face. She was
slightly worried as she would have made herself up heavier than Zara had done,
but then Zara was the expert so she didn’t say anything. Anyway, there was
always the option to have some retouching done afterward.
Lee darted
around her, adjusting lights and checking the image through his camera. “Okay,
now lick your lips.”
She nearly
giggled at that point. It was beginning to feel rather erotic. But that was the
purpose, wasn’t it? He hadn’t suggested whether she smile or not. She had spent
some time beforehand practicing expressions in the bathroom mirror, and they
had all looked stupid. Now it was really happening, she opted for a gentle
smile.
“Nice smile, but
can you open your lips?”
Uh-uh.
Not going to happen. One thing Ellie didn’t like was photos
of herself with broad grins, showing teeth. Lee didn’t push her to do this, but
continued snapping for a few minutes, darting from side to side to get a
variety of pictures.
“Okay, would you
like to take a rest and see the first shots before we continue?” he asked,
laying aside his camera.
Shit.
What on earth would they look like? She reluctantly, and with a lack of
decorum, got off the bed and slowly approached the computer where Zara was
loading the first shots.
“Oh. My. God,”
Ellie intoned when they came up. “That is not me! You have got the wrong
woman.”
They laughed at
her comment, assuring Ellie that it really was her.
“Holy Mary. Wow.”
For a few minutes, she didn’t say anything as they looked at the photos, but
her chin was on the floor in amazement. They were all of the same type of pose
with her lying on her front, but Lee had taken them from different angles.
Ellie was astonished at how relaxed she looked, but most of all, how sexy she
appeared!
Thanks for having me, Michelle. Including our own experiences in life adds a touch of authenticity to our stories!
