If you have been playing along at home, you will know that as part of my #festivalof50, I was keen to pose for some glamour photos.
But my photographer friend assured me I’m not, and that a boudoir photo shoot would actually be a great way to remember my 50 year old self in years to come – as well as get some very special photos for the hubster to treasure!
Have You Ever Had Glamour Photos?
I must confess, I posed for some glamour photos to commemorate my 30th birthday – yes 20 years ago now! My daughter was only a few weeks old, and was still breast fed, so my sister came along to help out at the photo shoot.
To be honest, I didn’t really like the resulting images that much. They just didn’t look like “me”.
So I was hemming and hawwing about doing it all again for my 50th, because let’s face it, there are a lot more lumps and bumps, wrinkles and crinkles, than there were when I was 30!
Then the good people at The Apparel Effect sent me some samples of their plus-size lingerie – and it kinda felt like the planets had aligned.
Now Middle Aged Mama has a strict family-friendly policy, so while I would *love* to be able to share some of the resulting photos with you – some things are best kept private 😉 .
But I can tell you this: the hubster absolutely loves the pics, and the lingerie; but most of all the woman in them!
Here’s a teaser to show you how they turned out …
