When we hear words like plus-size, curvy, mid-size, or full-figured, it can feel confusing. These labels shift constantly, but one thing remains the same: every body deserves to be seen and celebrated.
I may not be a body positivity expert, but as a boudoir photographer, and someone who has struggled with body image. I know how powerful it is to feel seen without judgment. Boudoir is one of the most affirming ways to step into that confidence.
Why “Plus Size Boudoir Photographer”?
I’ve titled this blog Plus Size Boudoir Photographer because it’s how many people search for this service. But I believe size is not what defines you or your beauty.
What matters is the experience. How comfortable you feel. Whether the photographer understands how to light and guide you so your portraits feel empowering.
When I took my own boudoir photos, I didn’t think I’d like them. Instead, they changed everything. Now, when clients come in with nerves about their tummy, arms, or thighs, I get it. And I know how to create an environment where those worries melt away.
Boudoir is for Every Body
Boudoir is not a size 6 fantasy. It’s not “only for the toned.” It’s a space where all bodies—plus-size, curvy, petite, tall, trans, mid-size, or otherwise—can be honoured and photographed with dignity.
What I love most is how quickly clients shift from self-doubt to self-celebration. Whether you bring lingerie, a blazer, a shirt, or nothing at all, boudoir is about claiming your beauty now, not waiting until you “look different.”

Common Questions from Plus Size Clients
Here are the three questions I hear most often from plus-size clients, and how I approach them in the studio.
"What if I Don't Look Good in the Photos?”
That’s my job. You don’t need to know your angles or how to pose, I’ll guide you through everything. Lighting, direction, and posing are tailored so your body looks powerful, natural, and beautiful.
"I'm Nervous. What Are Your Top Tips?”
Most clients feel this way! My Wardrobe Guide and Style Consult will help you plan outfits that feel good. On the day, you’ll be gently directed and given plenty of time to relax. If you’d like extra reassurance, you can read my blog → How to Prepare for a Boudoir Photoshoot.
"Do I need to know how to pose?”
Not at all. I’ll demonstrate and guide each pose so you never feel lost. If you’d like to see examples, I’ve written a separate post on → Boudoir Poses for inspiration.
Still Looking for a Plus Size Boudoir Photographer?
Choosing a plus size boudoir photographer isn’t about labels, it’s about trust. It’s knowing that the person behind the camera understands body image struggles, respects boundaries, and will work with you to create portraits that feel authentic.
Boudoir is for every body. Yours included.
