4 GAME CHANGING LINGERIE TIPS TO FLATTER TRICKY AREAS

How To Flatter Your Stomach Area

After photographing 1000's of women, I've learned that most women are self-conscious about their stomach.

I honestly thought I was the only one. 

The good news is that every pose takes this into consideration, so you’ll already be set up for success.


If you want a little extra coverage, bodysuits are your best friend! They highlight your curves while giving a little more coverage. Corsets and robes are also great choices.



Be careful with baby doll lingerie though... they flow beautifully and can look great in the mirror, but what our eyes see and what the camera sees if very different. In photos, baby dolls can make you lose your shape and appear wider than you actually are. No, thanks!

How To Make Your Butt Look Good

Want the ultimate juicy peach booty shot?

If you’re self-conscious about your booty, you might be tempted to cover it up... but full back underwear won't do you any favours. The best options are cute cheeky panties, thongs (not g-strings) or tanga panties. These styles frame your booty into a gorgeous heart shape, that are flattering for everyone!


Plus... I’ve got a posing trick that’ll give you an instant butt lift. The right panties + our expert posing secrets = absolute booty perfection.



 How To Slim & Lengthen Your Legs

Want to make your legs look longer and slimmer? Thigh-high stockings and stilettos are your go-to's! Just make sure you don’t pull the stockings up too high and go for stilettos with a high, thin heel and no straps. The difference this combo makes? Mind-blowing.

How To Wear A Garter?

When you wear garters, place them on your hips — not your waist. This makes your torso look longer and gives a slimming effect. It’s a simple trick, but it works wonders!


If you’re not sure how to attach them, don’t stress — I’ll help you clip them perfectly. They can be a little tricky and placement is key to making them look flawless in photos.


If you’re on the fence about whether to wear garters, think about the vibe you want for your shoot. They’re a stunning, sultry touch, but if they don’t feel you, you’ll still look amazing without them.


Pro Tip: Bring them along just in case, and we’ll decide together!



Final Lingerie Tip


Before your boudoir photoshoot, make sure you try on all your outfits so you know they fit perfectly. It’s all about feeling confident when you step into the studio... and a great fit makes all the difference.


Still not sure what works best? Don’t worry — I’ve got you. Every boudoir client gets a complimentary 1:1 consultation where I’ll guide you through choosing outfits that highlight your best features and reflect your personal style.

P.S. Don’t forget about the timeless White Sheet Look. This no-outfit option is effortlessly sexy, works for every body type, and is a client favourite for a reason.

It flatters every body type every body type, and the best part? You don’t need an outfit at all - just you, your confidence and we have all the white sheets.
