My Portrait Goal
I have a bunch of goals for when I lose weight, I feel like a poser since I haven't actually lost any weight yet but writing about it keeps it fresh in my mind. One of my goals is to get another photo shoot but the next time to feel really good about myself.
Engagement
I got married last year and one of the most important things was to get a photographer that suited us perfectly. That photographer was Rachel. She really apperciated our quirkiness as a couple, that was very important to us.
Boudoir
I love the pictures but I still remember how uncomfortable in my own skin I was for all of the pictures. Someday, hopefully sooner rather than later, I will have photos done again by her.
Wedding
I figure maybe I'll take pictures in my dress again one day, I never went by the rules for my wedding why start now? That is one of my goals.
Have you considered doing a “trash the dress” session. The girls wear their dress is the most “inappropriate” places… puddles of mud, piles of leaves, the ocean, rivers, lakes… wherehouses…
I think it’s an awesome idea if you didn’t spend a fortune on your dress and aren’t gonna use it again.

@Tori, i have thought about it a lot but my dress was pretty damn expensive, at least by my standards. i wouldn’t mind getting it a little dirty but i couldn’t trash it.

Robin – I love the photos you chose for this blog post. Perfect. I’m sure you’ve seen me talk about this a lot recently, but I’m a HUGE fan of how to look good naked: http://www.mylifetime.com/on-tv/shows/how-look-good-naked
(have you watched at least the first episode yet?)

@Rachel, I need to watch more of that show, I have seen it before and it really moved me.

Just because you haven’t lost any weight doesn’t mean you’re not working towards that goal. I think I’ve gained weight. lol But we’re both still trying and that’s what counts. We may not be working out at the gym, but like you said, writing about it, keeping it there — that counts.
I love the wedding picture, by the way!

@Robin, I used to be obsessive about it. Not so much now.

What lovely pictures! I can’t wait to wear a big white dress but it’s a bit soon to expect my man to ask!
Keep taking pictures, I find that’s my biggest motivation
