Nicole - Boudoir can still be very sexy even without showing lots of skin or overly provocative poses. It’s all in the attitude
I still have my moments of self-consciousness, its only normal. My best advice is to pretend you are a character, wear a wig, change your makeup, etc… Creating a fantasy persona is key to coming out of your shell. There is something magical about dressing in gorgeous lingerie, sky high heels, and dramatic makeup, and a stunning wig that take you into a fantasy world that makes you feel like a goddess. Your confidence will be elevated and this will come across in your photos. Practice posing in front of a mirror to get your angles right and understand what poses flatter your figure the most. Confidence will come as you do it more and more. But remember to go only as far as you are comfortable with. Boudoir can still be very sexy even without showing lots of skin or overly provocative poses. It’s all in the attitude. Only pose how you like.
