It was an absolute pleasure to work with this bombshell. So down to earth. Her husband is such a lucky fellow. I want to point out a few keys to my posing during a boudoir shoot.
First of all, it's always good to have something for your hands to be doing so they don't look awkward. Often it's playing with jewelry...
your hair or clothing..
.
Variety of poses keep them guessing.
Great to mix it up in your album with a detail shot. This one is a favorite of mine. Subtle and extremely sexy without showing a lot.
Ring placement is always key in a gift to a groom. For anyone who doesn't want to show certain parts of their body, there are a million poses to only accentuate your assets. Keeping your head towards the light source and closer to the camera slims the hips and legs.
How much does she look like Reese Witherspoon in this shot?
Mixing it up between not looking, looking serious, smiling, and laughing are crucial to mixing it up for the series of photos in your album.
Backlighting is a tricky way of really slimming a figure. The brightness wraps the edges of the body to make it smaller. This shot uses the angles in her arms to lead your eye through the shot. She looks like she's cut straight from the pages of a VS catalog. Glowing and GORGEOUS!
Don't worry though, I always coach my clients through their session so you don't have to remember all of these tips. One of the biggest comments I receive is that it's so much easier more comfortable than they thought it would be. I've also written a blog on what to bring and how to prepare for your shoot and you can find it HERE. If you want stunning images like this, you know where to find me. Pin-up weekend is coming up November 12-13! Can't wait to see you all there!
