Balloons, champagne....what's missing?

Well, at least, unlike the last couple, these guys look happy, right?  I mean, you're sitting in a bathtub full of balloons drinking champagne.  Why wouldn't you be?

Engagement photo? Or "I only have 6 months to live". You decide!

I get that looking serious is en vogue for Engagement photos, but these people look like they just found out that their home is getting foreclosed on.  

DIY Engagement photos

You just got engaged, but you don't want to spend the money on a photographer, so why not take your own Engagement pics??

THIS is why not, folks.

"Hey, my eyes are UP HERE, Mister!"

Because sometimes, all you need is a bench in the middle of the words and a pair of camo shorts.

Nothing quite says "We're in love" like a washed out photograph of a tree.  Oh wait.  There's people in this one too.

Bad DIY Boudoir Photography

Doing things yourself is a great way to save money sometimes! Other times....it's just a bad idea.

Now, I'm no photographer, but I know what makes me laugh and what doesn't.

It's one thing to take the pics.  It's a completely different thing to POST IT ON THE INTERNET. Once you post something online, it remains online.  Forever.

So, in the spirit of posterity, here are some of my favorite DIY Boudoir photos.

"Because using a black backdrop and wearing lingerie turns every shoot into a boudoir shoot."

The fuzzy "panties-around-the-ankles" shot just MAKES the shoot, don't you think?

Note:  laying on a hotel floor in your undies is sexy if you do it in black and white.  Let's just hope they vacuumed first.

The blue snowflake comforter goes so well with the pink and black nightie.  

"Oh shoot, you pressed the button too quick."

"No I didn't, this is sexy!!"

Do not underestimate the choice of hoisery in making a good boudoir photo.
