I am stationed overseas and have not seen my wife in 6 months. As a birthday gift to me my wife went out and had some nude photos of herself taken. When I found out the photos were taken by a husband and wife team it bothered me that another man would see my wife in that way. Am I being too sensitive? How would you guys feel about that?

That it was a husband and wife team to me, says you should not be too worried.
It is a far better thing than her going to just a man. That there was a woman present, says to me, they were trying to do the right thing and be professional.
I'd say not to worry about, particularly since it was a husband wife team, and I assume it was a professional photographer (versus a "friend"). I'd actually think it was pretty cool and thoughtful. It says to me that she definately wants you thinking of her while you're over there, and that's she's thinking of you enough to actually have the courage to not only plan, but go through with posing nude for you.
Hmmm, interesting. Where did you suggest she go to have them taken? Do you know the H/W team that took them? How was it arranged?
I did not know she was doing it, it was a surprise to me. She had the best of intentions. It just made me sad to think of another guy seeing her naked.
Everything is ampliphied during a deployment. I think it is natural for you too feel uncomfortable with her having the pics taken in front of another man. I mean you wouldn't be a loving H if you didn't want to keep her all to yourself. I also know that when my H was deployed I would have dragged anyone off the streats to take the pics I sent him. My only focus at the time was my H and making sure he didn't forget what was awaiting him at home. I'm sure she didn't think about who was taking the pics.. her only focus was you. Try not to get caught up in who took the pics and just enjoy them until you can get to the real thing!!
Wow, what a great gift. Your wife must miss you and love you a ton. Don't worry one more second about professionals taking photographs. To me that even makes the gift better.
I would guess that these aren't the first nude photos this photographer has taken.
Smile! I wish I had photos like this of my wife when she was younger!
Most guys spend forty years trying to get this stuff to happen.

Hello, Military Guy. As a married man who is modest about nudity, I have a few questions. How old was the h/w team that took the pics? Was she covered up in any way - what was showing? Were they just innocent poses or something provocative? These questions may not makes total sense, I'm just trying to form an opinion.
Here is the website to where she went. Desert Blush Photography Phoenix, Arizona
It seems a very professional place. I love the pictures she sent me I just dont like that another guy had a part in taking them. It seems to me that my feelings are on the sensitive side, yet I cant help how I feel. I don't like it.
I can see your point, there is nothing wrong with being selfish about your wife's nudity and I think it's noble that you feel that way. However, don't make your wife feel dirty for doing it or make her feel bad in her attempt to make you feel good. Her intentions were pure love for you and I would take it that way.
That seems to be the most professional type of photographs possible. I'm sure she wouldn't have been able to do that herself.
In high school I was a volunteer at the county hospital, working on the post-surgery floor. We had a patient that was extremely fat and had some kind of surgery on the crack of his ass. He had a skinny, "Olive Oil" type wife. She was so jealous of another woman seeing her husband's fat, bleeding butt crack that she wanted me to change the dressings instead of actual licensed nurses.
I've always carried that memory with me. Professionals are just that - professionals. Don't sweat it for one more second you lucky guy!
This actually happened shortly after my wife and I were married. She was a bridesmaid in a friend's wedding. The dresses had arrived and we went to the bride's mom's house for her to try it on. She and the bride, the bride's mom and some other females had the dresses all laid out and in a large room that was attached to the room where the bride's dad and I, plus a couple of other men whom I can't recall were sitting. My wife had gone back and put the dress on. While they were checking it out in view of all of us guys, the bride's mom noted something that needed to be adjusted. She somehow unfastened the dress at the shoulders and lowered it down past my wife's waist. This left her standing in view of all of us men in her bra. I could have fainted! We guys were just chatting small talk but I know at least a couple of them glanced over and saw her that way. I was very uncomfortable with this. My wife was surprised by this but didn't say anything to make a scene. She said she was worried that I would be angry but that it was really no big deal to her that they saw her, that she was covered. Any thoughts on this, anyone?
