That's a shame if she was more nervous than excited about doing it by the time she was having her hair and make up done for the shoot, most women would have found that part quite relaxing and a treat.
I can understand how a lot of waiting about with just her own thoughts about the shoot running...
So was your wife nervous about the shoot or excited about doing something naughty and daring at that point when she was sat there ?
Strange for them to ask her to wear such an ordinary outfit for a topless shoot.
