Boudoir Shoot Gone Bad
Posted: Thu Nov 01, 2018 2:23 pm
True story ahead...thought some of you would laugh at the most awkward moment in my life.
So a few years ago I was doing some photo shoots around Charlotte. I was really enjoying it...family pictures, couples, a few models, a pregnant mother.
Well. I got a message from someone asking to do a boudoir shoot for Valentine's Day. She said she would have someone there for security, so I agreed. (I would never want to put myself in a situation alone with a stranger)
So a few days pass and I arrive at her house. A single wide trailer. No problems with that, just establishing the setting. So I go in this house and meet this lady's mom...and dad. Her mom says she's not ready yet, so I patiently and very awkwardly am standing there waiting. Papa bear offers me a beer, I politely decline and he goes on watching TV.
Its time for the shoot. I walk down the short hallway and see the lucky lady. Mid 20s, fairly cute, dressed in a semi-transparent nighty and cute panties. So we are in this bedroom of a single wide trailer..with a king size bed..and for the next 15 minutes or so I take photos of this stranger I don't know with her mom suggesting poses and giving advice while sitting in a chair on the other side of the room. Awkward you say? Yes. Very awkward. Like...dang awkward.
I delivered her photos and a week later found out they were not for her husband but for another lover.
And this is why I stopped shooting photos of anyone other than family. hahaha
