Originally a still-life art form, boudoir photography switched to human subjects when clothiers stopped making apple-size garter belts. Bite the fruits of seduction this Valentine’s Day with today’s Groupon: for $35, you get a boudoir photography package at Nixon Photography in Germantown (a $149 total value). The package includes:

• A 30-minute shoot in one outfit with one set or backdrop of choice (a $99 value)
• Choice of one pose, from 20 proofs, on a high-resolution digital file (a $50 value)<p>

The shutterbugs at Nixon Photography shoot tasteful, enticing boudoir portraits of women of all ages and sizes in a modern Germantown studio replete with artful studio lighting. During the private, 30-minute photo shoots, seductresses can stand, sit, or execute their best impression of a bendy straw in front of one backdrop or set of their choice. After the posing concludes, two optional Facebook photos give subjects a sneak peak of the shoot’s results, and later, clients can review all of the photos in a password-protected gallery on Nixon’s website. Each model gets to choose one pose out of 20 proofs to receive in a high-resolution digital file, which they can subsequently print in sizes up to 8”x12” as a holiday surprise to a special someone, such a lucky Valentine or favorite groundhog.
