One of the biggest myths about BOUDOIR is that there’s one specific body type that photographs best. NOT true. You just need a photographer who is a master at posing women!

I’m Amy Maddox, owner and photographer at Boudoir by Amy, and I can pose any woman, any size, any shape, any age. Here are just a FEW examples of poses that can be tweaked depending on what you want to focus on, and all of them are super flattering to your curves.

Not a fan of your tummy? Let me stop you right there. Who is?!?! Seriously I’ve photographed hundreds of women and not a single one said they actually liked their stomach. Not. One. If you’ve got toned abs and want to show them off I am here for it, but you’re going to have an amazing shoot no matter what your measurements are because I know all of the posing tricks. I can have you roll you hips a certain direction and POOF it’s gone. Want to make your gals look perkier? Super easy tweak! Want to show off your toned arms? Girl, I’ve got you. Hide a tattoo, look taller, have fuller, thicker hair, see your amazing bum? Done! Each of these things is a simple tweak- just with POSING. And we haven’t even gotten to talking about wardrobe yet! (This is my other secret weapon!). Just a reminder our $25k Client Closet has now grown to over 700 lingerie sets in sizes ranging from XXS-5XL. 99% of the outfits in this post are from our closet and you have FULL access to it during your session!

So let’s talk about posing!

This is a pose that looks amazing no matter what you love about your body. Depending on the angle I’m shooting from I can highlight boobs, legs, eyes, arms, or bum- and the best part is it doesn’t focus on your tummy.

I often do this post on the tufted bench and it really accentuates an hourglass shape. It makes your boobs look perkier, your legs tones and long, and your waist smaller. It’s definitely a favorite!

No matter how flexible you are this one is a shot that all of my clients love. It elongates your body and defines and exaggerates your beautiful curves! It gives you a round bum and an amazing jaw line.

This pose makes your waist looks smaller and your hips curvier.

We love using any of our steel bones under-bust corsets for this shot, but it’s killer no matter what you’re wearing.

Here’s a simple one I’ll start you out with, it’s a good warm-up pose while you’re still getting over any lingering nerves :-). It’s easy, flattering, and it gives us plenty of things to do with your hands. Depending on the lingerie we choose we can highlight different features.

This standing pose will make your legs look amazing, and our clients love it in front of the feminine feature wall with trim detail or by our black-paned windows.

Then we come in a little closer for one of the best cleavage shots you could ask for! The lighting in our studio is what makes this one so gorgeous, it really defines your cleavage.

We have so many pieces of furniture and we often do this pose on our custom tufted emerald green velvet couch. It’s one of a kind! This pose makes your legs and bum look FIRE.

This is probably the simplest pose in the world, and it’a still sexy and classy. We often do it in one of the cool black bodysuits:

Here’s one that looks amazing from both the front and the back! And as a wide shot, or a close up!

Here’s another favorite. When you first book I’ll send you a detailed How to Prepare Guide, including a list of stretches you can do leading up to your session that will help you get that amazing arch!

Our pink ostrich feather wings give you tons of things to do with your hands- and your boudoir session is the perfect time to feel like a Victoria’s Secret Angel.

And of course don’t forget your dark Angel…

This post could go on and on. We have over 150 poses and tons of sets to show you, and each one of them can be tweaked for YOUR curves. Granted, these are some of my safer, tamer, more Facebook-friendly ones, we definitely get a littler spicier, but there’s not a single one that I do that I can’t tweak to flatter YOUR curves. We have all the lingerie you’ll need, tons of accessories and wings, corsets, red bottom heels, and an amazing hair and makeup artist that will pamper you and highlight your best features. And best of all you have me- your biggest cheerleader and hype woman. I’ll pose and direct you at every moment during your session and tell you exactly how to get the best expressions. You will walk out of our studio feeling more beautiful than you have in years.
