You Don’t Need to Know How to Pose. That’s My Job!

Simply Lush Boudoir - The Power of posing

One of the biggest fears many clients have before their boudoir session is, “But I don’t know how to pose!” Let me tell you a little secret—you don’t need to! That’s exactly what I’m here for. Boudoir photography isn’t about knowing how to model—it’s about trusting the process, letting go, and allowing me to guide you into poses that highlight your natural beauty and confidence.

The Magic of Professional Posing

Many people believe that posing is just about looking good in photos, but it’s so much more than that. The right poses bring out your best features, help you feel more at ease, and create stunning images that reflect your personality and sensuality. Through professional guidance, I help transform any nerves into confidence, ensuring you feel both empowered and beautiful throughout your session.


Highlighting Your Best Features

Every pose is designed with intention—whether it’s to accentuate a feature you love or to create an overall flattering shape. Here’s how strategic posing works:

Elongating the Body:
Raising your arms above your head or pointing your toes can create a long, graceful silhouette.

Hiding What You’re Self-Conscious About:
If there’s a part of your body you feel less confident about, posing techniques—like strategic arm placement, angles, or lighting—can shift the focus to areas you do love.

Softening Facial Features:
A slight tilt of the chin or a relaxed gaze can create a soft, sultry look that radiates confidence.

Emphasizing Curves:
Arching the back slightly or shifting weight to one hip enhances natural curves beautifully


Popular Boudoir Poses That Work for Everyone

If you’re unsure what to expect, here are some go-to poses that look amazing on every body type. A simple yet powerful pose is placing your hands in your hair, creating a relaxed, effortless look that adds movement and highlights your face. Raising your arms overhead elongates the body, creating a naturally flattering posture. If you’re looking for something flirty and cozy, playful poses in the sheets offer a mix of comfort and confidence. For a timeless and mysterious vibe, an over-the-shoulder glance draws attention to your eyes and facial expressions. Lastly, the lying-down arch enhances curves beautifully, creating a dreamy, sensual aesthetic. Each of these poses is designed to highlight your best features and bring out your unique confidence.

I’ve had two sessions with Ashley and each time I met a new version of myself.
They were absolutely beautiful and captured the essence of who I am.
