BOUDOIR SHOOTS FOR PLUS SIZE CLIENTS SHOULD BE CELEBRATED
Boudoir photography is a genre that has evolved over time and has come a long way from being considered taboo to being celebrated. Traditionally, it was thought of as a genre that caters only to the thin and conventionally beautiful. However, the growth of the genre has brought forth a new narrative – boudoir shoots for plus size clients should be celebrated.
For too long, the fashion industry has catered to a certain body type, leaving many feeling excluded and unrepresented. The growth of boudoir photography has opened up the genre to include clients of all shapes and sizes. The plus size community has taken notice and embraced boudoir photography as a way to showcase their beauty and confidence.
Boudoir shoots for plus size clients are a liberating and empowering experience. It is an opportunity for a curvy client to feel beautiful, confident, and sexy in their own skin. Boudoir photography allows them to celebrate their bodies, no matter what shape or size they are. It is a way to celebrate and embrace their unique beauty, which is often overlooked in mainstream media.
If done well, boudoir shoots for plus size clients can be a truly transformational experience. A good photographer will pose the client well and in a flattering way in the studio. They will make sure that the client feels comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. The photographer will create an environment that is empowering and supportive, allowing the client to let go of any insecurities and embrace their beauty fully. The Loci Photography studio based in Pretoria has done boudoir shoots for over a decade, and truly has earn their colors in providing clients with a stunning and breathtaking end-product. The fond reviews online from the previous Loci clients prove how intensely and seriously I take this genre, whilst having fun with clients in studio to make them feel comfortable, and bring out their best sides. We all deserve a dignified shoot, and when a good photographer knows how to pose, direct and guide, their clients will always shine in front of eager cameras.
The Loci Photography studio hosts an in-house styling- and accessory range called The Nicolassi Brand. This love child was created with the idea in mind to provide clients with a “layer of protection” as they tentatively visit the studio for their daunting shoot. Stunning coats, jackets and other accessories like masks and gloves, provide gorgeous add-ons that my clients seem to highly enjoy, and it uplifts the quality of their end-product.

Boudoir photography is about capturing a moment in time that celebrates the client’s body, spirit, and soul. It is not just about taking pictures but about creating an experience that empowers and liberates.
