A boudoir photoshoot is a transformative experience for people of all shapes and sizes, but for those with curves, it can be especially empowering! A boudoir session isn’t just about capturing sultry photos—it’s about owning your confidence, feeling comfortable in your own skin, and honoring your body exactly as it is.
When you book a boudoir session, you’re not just signing up for a photoshoot; you’re embarking on a journey of self-love and self-empowerment. The media often promotes a very narrow standard of beauty, but boudoir photography allows you to break free from these confines and express yourself authentically. It’s a chance to see yourself in a new light, surrounded by an environment designed to make you feel beautiful, powerful, and unapologetically yourself.
As a boudoir photographer and a woman, it is so important to me to create a safe, supportive space where my clients can relax and let go of any insecurities. A place where you know that you belong and are celebrated exactly as you are.
And - let me just tell you... curvy girls... you freaking bring it!
Many of my all time favorite sessions are with you! When we are in the studio, we create pure art together - and you are the muse.
While I walk my clients through everything, here is a heads up on 5 tips for a successful plus-size boudoir session.
1. Choose Flattering Outfits
Select lingerie and outfits that make you feel fabulous and comfortable. High-waisted panties, corsets, and bodysuits, can accentuate your curves in a flattering way. Don’t be afraid to play with textures—lace, silk, satin, and mesh can create beautiful contrast and visual interest in your images.
2. Focus on What Makes You Feel Confident
Choose pieces that highlight your favorite features. If you love your legs, opt for a thigh-high slit or stockings. If you’re proud of your curves, try a fitted bodysuit or a bustier that hugs your shape. When you feel good in what you're wearing, your confidence will shine through - and that is one of the most important pieces of the puzzle.
3. Accessorize
Accessories like jewelry, robes, or even a hat or other prop can add a personal touch to your photos. A cute pair of heels or a flowing robe can also make you feel more confident. These small details help elevate your session and can make you feel extra special.
4. Relax and Have Fun!
It’s easy to get caught up in self-criticism, but remember this experience is all about celebrating *you*. Let go of any worries and focus on enjoying the process. Take deep breaths, laugh, and have fun with the experience! The more relaxed you are, the more natural and beautiful your photos will look.
5. Trust Your Photographer
I am here to guide you through the experience and help you feel comfortable. Don’t hesitate to share any concerns you might have. My job is to make you feel confident, beautiful, and empowered.
The Takeaway
In the end, the most powerful takeaway from a boudoir session is the reminder that beauty comes in every shape and size. So, if you’re considering a boudoir photoshoot, remember: this is your moment to shine, and there’s no better time to start embracing the amazing person you are, just as you are. With the right mindset, outfit choices, and support, your plus-size boudoir session can be a truly empowering experience that will leave you feeling more confident and more beautiful than ever before.
