Plus-Size Posing Tips for Stunning Boudoir Photos from Brii Cher'ri: The Boudoir Studio, North Carolina’s Best Boudoir Photographer for Plus-Size Bodies

Hi, I’m Brii Cher’ri, and welcome to The Boudoir Studio—your ultimate destination for stunning boudoir photography in North Carolina, where every woman, regardless of size, can feel empowered, confident, and celebrated. As North Carolina’s best boudoir photographer for plus-size bodies, I’m here to tell you that beauty knows no size limit! Every curve, every line, and every inch of you is worthy of being captured in its full glory.

Today, I’m sharing some of my top posing tips to help you feel your most confident and create breathtaking images that celebrate your body in all its beauty. Let’s dive into how we make magic happen in front of the camera at The Boudoir Studio—specifically for plus-size bodies!

1. Confidence is Key

The first and most important tip I can offer is this: confidence changes everything. Whether you’re size 2 or 22, the way you feel about your body will come across in the photos. At The Boudoir Studio, our entire process is about helping you feel beautiful.

Before the session, we’ll work together on self-love activities and mindset shifts to get you into a place of confidence. You’ll leave those insecurities behind and walk into the studio ready to own your beauty. Boudoir photography is not about hiding—it's about embracing every inch of who you are.

2. Highlight Your Curves

One of the most stunning things about plus-size bodies is the beautiful, natural curves we get to play with! When posing, we’ll focus on angles and lighting that emphasize and celebrate those curves. For example, arching your back slightly or positioning yourself sideways helps create a beautiful, elongated silhouette that highlights your waist, hips, and chest.

We’ll also use body-flattering poses that draw attention to the areas you love most. If you want to celebrate your legs, your waist, or your back, we’ll focus on poses that showcase those areas and make you feel incredible.

3. The Power of Angles

Angles are everything in photography, and at The Boudoir Studio, I use my expertise to position you in ways that flatter your natural beauty. A common technique I love to use with plus-size clients is shooting slightly from above. This angle elongates the body and emphasizes those curves, giving you a gorgeous hourglass look.

Another great trick? Creating shapes with your body. Crossing your legs at the ankles or bending one knee slightly while lying down can add natural curvature and dimension to the shot, making it both artistic and flattering.

4. Don’t Underestimate the Magic of Lingerie

When it comes to plus-size boudoir, the right lingerie can completely transform your session. Choosing outfits that make you feel sexy, comfortable, and confident is a must. I recommend pieces like high-waisted panties, corsets, and bodysuits that provide structure and enhance your natural curves.

At The Boudoir Studio, we’ll also offer wardrobe guidance to help you select pieces that flatter your shape, hug you in all the right places, and make you feel like the goddess you are. Whether you want to flaunt your curves or leave a little to the imagination, there’s no wrong choice!

5. Movement Adds Magic

Posing doesn’t always mean standing still! One of my favorite tricks for creating dynamic, sensual boudoir photos is adding movement. Running your hands through your hair, swaying your hips, or even adjusting your lingerie can create candid, playful moments that translate beautifully in photos.

Movement also adds life and personality to the images. So don’t be afraid to get comfortable and let your body move naturally. We’ll capture those in-between moments that reflect your true self and the sensual energy of the session.

6. Focus on What Makes You Feel Beautiful

At The Boudoir Studio, my top priority is making sure you feel beautiful throughout the entire session. If you love your legs, let’s show them off! If your collarbones make you feel sexy, we’ll highlight them with soft lighting and posing. The session is all about you, so we’ll work together to ensure every pose and every image makes you feel like your most confident, empowered self.

The goal is for you to look at the final images and say, Wow, that’s me?—and believe it.

7. Bring Energy and Expression

Your energy and expression can turn a beautiful photo into a stunning one. Whether you’re going for sultry, playful, or soft and romantic, your face and eyes tell the story. At The Boudoir Studio, I’ll guide you through every pose, coaching you on how to let your inner confidence shine through your expression.

Don’t worry if you’re feeling nervous—most of our clients are! But through gentle direction and encouragement, we’ll help you relax into the moment. Before you know it, your personality will come through naturally, and the images will reflect the beautiful, powerful woman you are inside and out.

8. Celebrate Your Body—Exactly as It Is

Finally, the most important tip I can give you is this: love your body exactly as it is. Boudoir photography is about embracing every part of you—the parts you love and even the parts you’ve struggled with. This is your time to reclaim your beauty, your sensuality, and your power.

At The Boudoir Studio, we believe that beauty isn’t defined by size or shape—it’s defined by how you feel in your skin. Our sessions are designed to celebrate every woman, regardless of size, and show you just how breathtaking you really are.
