Our sessions are guided every step of the way, but this preview helps ease nerves and spark inspiration. Let’s go!
Foundational Poses
1.
The Soft Sit
How: Sit on the edge of a couch, bed, or bench. Let knees angle to one side, back tall or slightly arched.
Why: Elongates the body and gives a sense of effortless beauty.
Pro Tip: Place one hand softly on your thigh, the other resting behind you.
2.
Lying on the Bed (Back or Belly)
On Back: Arch the back slightly, bend one knee up, hand behind head or tracing the collarbone.
On Belly: Cross ankles, lift chest with forearms, look back over shoulder.
Why: Ultra-feminine and flattering for all body types.
3.
Knees Up, Shirt Down
How: Sit or recline, knees drawn up close, oversized button-down slipping off one shoulder.
Why: Suggestive, cozy, intimate—total girl-next-door meets seduction.
Power Poses
4.
The Wall Lean
How: Stand with back or shoulder against the wall, one knee bent. Let hands run through your hair or down your side.
Why: Gives height, shape, and that moody confidence vibe. Works great with backlighting.
5.
Standing Arch
How: Stand tall, arch your back, push hips back slightly, chin up.
Why: Dramatic and fierce. Works well in silhouette or with dramatic shadows.
6.
The Booty Pop (With Class)
How: Kneel on the bed or stand, arch back, glance over your shoulder.
Why: Classic, cheeky, and beloved for a reason—let’s show off that curve!
Soft & Sultry Poses
7.
The Sheet Tuck
How: Wrap yourself in a bedsheet, sit with knees drawn in or recline.
Why: Suggests nudity without revealing it. Romantic and vulnerable.
8.
The Side Lie
How: Lie on your side, one leg slightly forward, elbow propped under head or lying flat.
Why: Slenderizing and soft. Perfect for more reserved or introspective images.
9.
Mirror Magic
How: Pose facing a mirror—seated, standing, or crouched. Look at yourself or directly at the camera.
Why: Doubles the impact. Symbolic and powerful.
Movement-Based Poses
10.
Hair Toss + Laugh
How: Sit or stand. Toss hair, laugh, and move with abandon.
Why: Candid, flirty, and joyful. Adds energy to your album.
11.
Lingerie in Motion
How: Slowly remove a robe, slide off a strap, or play with the hem of a shirt.
Why: The in-between moments are gold. Suggests story and sensuality.
12.
Crawl or Reach
How: Hands and knees, crawling forward or reaching toward the camera.
Why: Bold, fierce, and a total confidence flex.
Pose Customization Tips
Angles matter: A twist in the waist, a chin lift, or toe point can completely change a shot.
Hands with purpose: Rest gently, tug fabric, touch lips, trace collarbone.
Relax the face: A soft jaw, parted lips, or even a smirk can shift the entire energy of an image.
Breathe: Inhale deeply and exhale into each pose. That movement creates natural softness.
