Boudoir Tips

Anyone who shoots boudoir will probably agree that posing can definitely be one of the toughest parts of getting a great photo. Your clients are wearing next to nothing and have the expectation of a gorgeous (and basically flawless) photo. Every woman is beautiful in her own way, and with that said, every woman is different! Finding the right poses and angels to flatter each body type is time consuming and we know because it took us years of trial and error until we had a solid portfolio of great poses for every type of body.

Because of our own experience finding these poses, we created The Posebook to add to our Boudoir Shop which is filled with resources for photographers looking to get into the boudoir photography business or just want to take their already successful business to the next level. This book is FILLED with 28 of our most popular poses, with variations in each pose. It shows which poses are most flattering on each body type and how to get the best angels. In addition to receiving the beautiful book, you also receive a DVD with a 20 minute video of Kimberlee and Marissa showing you exactly how to get your clients in these poses, using an actual client!

We love hearing back from photographers who have purchased this book (and other resources) about their personal experience using the Posebook and it is always the best to receive a letter like the one below! Thanks so much for taking the time to write us Birgit and we are so glad you love the book. 🙂

“I lOVE THE POSEBOOK!
I have been in the photography business for almost 5 years. Weddings, families, babies. So great I love it!
But I wanted to bring it to another level, I attended a seminar a couple months ago, it said that you have to offer something others don’t.
Had a lot of ideas, and tried them out, but I wanted more. But what ????

I get a lot of inspiration from other websites, and by coincidence I found … yours!
By then I knew it, this is what I wanted to do.
I was amazed by the beautiful pictures. So pretty, so glamorous, so stylish, but sexy too.
Haven’t seen something like that before. So I knew this was something I could do to be different!

For a couple of weeks I have been looking at the website and doing some research. Showing the websites to friends, and wanted to know what they think.
A lot of people got really excited with me, and some girl friends said they wanted to pose for me.
And although I thought the posebook in the beginning an expensive purchase, I had to have it.

And I am soooo glad I bought it.
My friend Addie was the first one.
We had a fun weekend out, shopping and dining, and stayed at a nice hotel.
A good opportunity to try it out.
After a glass of champagne we started it WITH THE BOOK!
It was so much fun. And the pictures came out great.
Addie was so happy with it, her reaction was just what I wanted!
Even I tried it out and we turned places, I was the model, and Addie made the pictures.
I am not that confident with my body, but wow I loved it, although Addie wasn’t that great with my camera, hehe.

4 more shoots are planned with friends. After some practice I definitely want to offer this to others.
So thank you , thank you , thank you for sharing your poses, ideas and pictures.

Groetjes from Holland!

Met vriendelijke groet,
Birgit de Jong”
