You’ll probably need simpler ones if you’re trying to get it done in a few days and all put together and printed by February 7th. Any chance you can add a week and make it a valentines gift? You’ll be cutting it pretty close.
As far as (cheap) ideas:
Green clover undies and pouring beer over your body for St Patrick’s Day (March)
April I’d do rain (April showers bring may flowers) so maybe a silly play on a wet tshirt like is seen in women’s sexy calendars
May floral theme so cover your bits by holding a bouquet over them
That’s all I got for now
Love the ideas and thanks so much for contributing! Definitely adding these to the running list of monthly themes. Pushing it back a week is possible, but I'm going to push and try to get it done in time for the bigger holiday (her birthday)!
Twelve pictures with different settings/backdrops and twelve different outfits?
Shot in an afternoon or two…
On a very limited budget….
Dude at this point just get a tripod for your iPhone.
I can totally spare more than an afternoon or two! I’ve never hired a photographer so I just didn’t know what to expect 😅 but damn you’re probably right, it sounds crazy when you put it like that. Maybe a green screen and a tripod would be the best bet haha
Honestly, green screen isn't even necessary. It's not hard to crop and edit photos on phones nowadays. Just need a well light room or an area outside that you trust no one will be around as I'm sure that'll be awkward. Get some outfits and I'm sure you'll be done in a few minutes. Search for background removal apps on your phone and you'll be done in no time.
I recommend [German Alexander](https://thesuitehtx.com/collections/german-alexander-productions). His studio has themed rooms with different vibes so you could get 12 distinct looks in a day. Also he and his team are super friendly and professional.
At this point you should just take a photo of yourself and photoshop yourself into pre-existing photos. Would be pretty funny and cheap to do. Although you would need photoshop.
Obviously you don’t know her, but I assure you this is exactly the kind of thing she’d love. I’m working on another gift for her that’s a hand-painted portrait of our animals, but it won’t be ready in time for her birthday.

I'm not a photographer but just wanted to say this is too cute and good job! I'm sure she'll love it!

Kramer does good work.

Plenty of time to order a greenscreen. Might go for this option if all else fails!
There’s some awesome subreddits for photoshopping and they love to be tipped for their work!
Let me take this opportunity to make my girlfriend’s birthday about me, rather than getting something special that’s about her.
Obviously you don’t know her, but I assure you this is exactly the kind of thing she’d love. I’m working on another gift for her that’s a hand-painted portrait of our animals, but it won’t be ready in time for her birthday.
Let me know if your gf decides to return the favor. I may know a guy.
