When you hear the words boudoir photography, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Is it images of perfectly posed, size-two models, airbrushed into oblivion, draped across velvet sheets with effortless ease? Images of plus-size boudoir may be the furthest thing in your mind.
Yeah—let’s go ahead and throw that out.
Boudoir isn’t about fitting into a mold. It’s about breaking out of one.
And if you’ve ever thought, “I’d love to do a boudoir shoot, but I need to lose weight first,”—this blog is for you.
Plus-size boudoir isn’t a different kind of boudoir. It’s the same celebration of confidence, sensuality, and self-love. It’s photography that celebrates bodies often overlooked in mainstream media. We’re not here to hide, minimize, or “flatter” your body in a way that erases who you are. We’re here to showcase you—your curves, your softness, your strength—in all the ways you deserve to be seen.
It’s about posing, lighting, and angles designed to highlight your natural beauty, not mask it. As a boudoir photographer who specializes in plus-size boudoir, I know how to pose curvy bodies to capture your essence—whether that’s soft and sultry, bold and fierce, or playful and radiant.
And let’s be real—every body is a boudoir body.
Read that again.
Your body doesn’t need a makeover, a detox, or a six-week shred to deserve to celebrate it. Your body doesn’t need to shrink to be worthy of luxury, confidence, or the soft kiss of sunlight through sheer curtains while you feel like the goddess you already are.
Boudoir isn’t a reward for weight loss.
It’s a declaration of love for the body you’re in—right here, right now.
Because guess what? The camera doesn’t care about the number on your jeans. And neither do I. What I care about is the fire in your eyes when you realize you’re so much more than the insecurities you’ve been carrying. The way your laugh bursts out mid-pose, unapologetic and real.
Let me stop you right there.
Photogenic isn’t something you are—it’s something you feel when you’re in the right environment with the right photographer.
You don’t need to know how to pose. That’s my job.
Posing plus-size women isn’t just something I do—it’s something I’m deeply passionate about. I know how to guide your body into positions that feel natural, powerful, and comfortable. I know how to work with light and angles to bring out your best, without asking you to be anything other than yourself.
Worried about what to wear? I’ve got you covered there, too. I’ll guide you on choosing outfits that make you feel confident and sexy—and point you to the lingerie stores that celebrate all curves.
All you have to do is show up.
Nervous? That’s normal.
Uncertain? That’s okay.
I’ve got you.
Spoiler: You’re going to feel nervous at first.
But you won’t stay that way.
When you walk through my door, you’re stepping into a space where judgment doesn’t exist. You’ll be greeted like an old friend, and from the moment we start, I’ll be guiding you every step of the way.
I specialize in posing plus-size bodies to capture your confidence, curves, and unique beauty. Whether you’re rocking lingerie, an oversized sweater, or nothing at all, I’ll make sure you feel comfortable, seen, and celebrated.
We’ll laugh (a lot), maybe cry (happy tears, I promise), and you’ll leave feeling like you just met a version of yourself you’ve been waiting to meet.
If you’ve been on the fence, here are a few reasons why now is the perfect time:
If your heart is racing right now, that’s your sign.
Not to change. Not to “fix” anything.
Just to show up.
You don’t need to be smaller, tighter, or different. You just need to be here.
I’ll take care of the rest.
xoxo,
Ria
