Why "Plus Size Boudoir Photographer"?

I’ve titled this blog “Plus Size Boudoir Photographer” because Google loves keywords. As a small business owner, using popular search terms helps me connect with those seeking a boudoir experience. But here’s what really matters—your size doesn’t define you or your beauty. It’s about how you feel about your body, and that’s what boudoir photography is here to capture.

Unlike some photographers, I understand firsthand the struggle of body image. In fact, taking my own boudoir photos was a transformative step in overcoming my negative body perception. Now, when I need a confidence boost, I revisit those images and remind myself of my beauty.

This is how I know that boudoir is more than just a photoshoot—it’s a space to rediscover your confidence and your strength.

Boudoir is for Every Body

One of the beautiful things about boudoir is that it doesn’t have a size requirement. In fact, boudoir is a direct rebellion against the idea that only a certain kind of body is worthy of feeling sexy and confident.

I believe every body—whether you’re a size 2 or 22—deserves to feel celebrated and cherished. There is nothing more empowering than owning your beauty exactly as you are.

"New found confidence and self-love."

“As a curvy girl I can’t say I wasn’t apprehensive (because I was!) I couldn’t have had a better experience. 

You go in feeling a little shy and uneasy and come out with a new found confidence and self-love!”

3 Questions I Hear the Most from Plus Size Clients

"What if I Don't Look Good in the Photos?”

This is a really common feeling, and I’ve experienced it myself. I didn’t start as a Boudoir Photographer, it was only after my own Boudoir experience that I started this.

What I will say is that my job is to find the angles, lighting, and poses that showcase your best features. You don’t need to know how to pose or look like a model—together, we’ll create images that reflect your unique beauty. Every woman I’ve worked with has walked away loving their images, and I know you will too.

"I'm Nervous. What Are Your Top Tips?”

It’s completely normal to feel nervous before your boudoir session, but I’m here to help ease those jitters! Here are my top tips to ensure you feel comfortable and confident:

  1. Comfort is Key: Choose outfits that make you feel amazing—whether it’s your favourite lingerie or a cozy oversized sweater. Don’t stress about following trends; focus on what feels right for you. When you book, I’ll send you a helpful Wardrobe Guide, plus I’ve got a list of my favourite places to shop. You can also check out my blog on boudoir outfits for more inspiration.
  2. Pre-Shoot Self-Care: The night before your session, treat yourself to some relaxation. Hydrate, stretch, and pamper yourself—whether that’s with a soothing bath, your skincare routine, or curling up with a good book. A little TLC goes a long way!
  3. Open Mind, Open Heart: Most importantly, walk into the session with an open mind. This is your time to celebrate you. Let go of any doubts—this experience is all about capturing your unique beauty and having fun!

"I’m Plus Size and Don’t Know How to Pose—Help!”

Posing can feel intimidating, but don’t worry—I’ve got you! As someone with curves myself, I know the natural instinct to hide certain parts of the body (hello, tummy!). But you don’t need to be a pro at posing. I’ll guide you through every step, demonstrating each pose and helping you find the angles that make you feel amazing.

The goal isn’t just to take beautiful photos; it’s to show you how others see you—powerful, radiant, and gorgeous.

Still Looking for a Plus Size Boudoir Photographer?

Boudoir is about so much more than size. It’s about reconnecting with yourself and embracing your beauty, just as you are. My priority is ensuring that you feel comfortable and confident during your session, and together, we’ll create images that remind you of your strength and sensuality.

Regardless of gender, race, size, or age, Boudoir is for everyone. I’ve worked with women, men, and non-binary clients, and what I love most is that boudoir photography is a universal language of self-expression. It’s about creating a space where everyone feels seen, valued, and beautiful.
