My BPics Session was Awesome

Posted Friday, July 25, 2008 5:31 PM

I had been looking forward to bpics for a long time now. I started my gym routine 8 weeks ago in preparation for this. I had gotten waxed and sprayed. My hair was cut and colored. I tried on all my outfits the day before and everything looked hot.

I couldn't sleep the night before my session. I was just too damn excited! The only sucky thing was that FI got mad at me that night. He was annoyed by how much time I was spending at the gym (and how muich less time I spent with him). I wish I could've told him because then he would've understood completely. But he had no idea at all what I was up to. Once he gets his wedding gift, I will remind him and then he'll never give me a hard time about that again. So bpics were perfect timing because if I had to wait any longer, I don't know how I could've kept up my gym craziness.

OK so morning comes and I wake up early. I wait for FI to shower and leave for work. He was taking an awfully long time. I was getting restless because I had a mani/pedi scheduled. So he comes out of the bathroom and says: I don't think I'm going to work today. My boss said I could work from home. Seriously? I thought he was kidding me. FI NEVER works from home. It came out of nowhere. I kept asking him, Are you really staying home with me? Then I started getting annoyed. I asked, Are you sure you want to stay home with me? Why couldn't you do this yesterday or do it tomorrow?

He had no idea why I was acting like this. So I finally had to tell him something. I told him I had a surprise for him and he had to leave. I said I was doing the surprise today but he wouldn't get the surprise for a while. Then I kicked him and the dog out of the room, locked the door and showered. I told him he had to leave the house for a little while, and he had to leave before me. I could not have him seeing me leave the house with his shirt and my overnight bag.

So while I was in the shower, he told me he was going to work. :::sigh of relief::: What a close call!

I leave the house with all my stuff- 4 pairs of shoes, 5 outfits and a couple extra panties, a veil and some ties. I got a mani and pedi. I did a sexy cherry red color on my hands and feet. I LOVE it. I am a french mani kind of girl, so this was very different for me. But now I am truly considering doing my nails in this color for my wedding.

I run a few more errands and was very excited for my session. About an hour before my session was to start, I got really nervous. My heart was beating faster and I was hot then cold and back to hot. Somehow I calmed down. By the time I got to my session, I was calm and ready to go.

I got my hair and makeup done, while sipping some wine. (I didn't even get tipsy, though. I had half a glass of wine and had no inhibitions whatsoever.) We did a smoky eye and red lips. I even got fake lashes. We teased my hair so I would have major bed head. When I first looked at myself in the mirror, I was a little taken aback. But after a few minutes, I was like WOW.

The session was so much fun! My photographer made me feel very comfortable- no akwardness at all. I got to do some really fun poses in the bathroom and on the balcony. My photog showed me some pics along the way and they were smoking!

I think my fave outfit was my "bridal" outfit- white lace bra and panty, white pumps and a veil. I even did a few shots sans outfits. Just some panties and my hands covering my boobs. I also took some shots rolling around in the sheets.

My photog isn't shooting a wedding this weekend, so she'll be editting allll weekend. I should get my pics back next week. I get to choose about 50 pics for my book. I am soo excited. I don't know how I will be able to keep this a secret for the next 7 months!!
