When it comes to boudoir photography, the right pose can transform a photo from simple to stunning. At Cherie Amour, we know that every body is beautiful, and the magic of boudoir lies in capturing that beauty in ways that feel authentic and empowering. Whether you’re prepping for your first session or looking for inspiration for your next, we’ve rounded up five expert-approved poses that flatter different body types and styles.
These tips are designed to highlight your favorite features, help you feel confident, and create breathtaking photos you’ll cherish forever. Let’s dive into the top poses and how to make them work for you.
1. The Sultry Side Lay: Embrace Your Curves
The side-lay pose is a timeless classic, and for good reason. This pose is all about celebrating curves while exuding an air of effortless confidence. Lying on your side, with one arm supporting your head and the other resting softly on your hip, creates a beautifully elongated silhouette.
Pro tip: If you’re looking to accentuate your legs, slightly bend one knee over the other to create depth and movement. For a little extra drama, pair this pose with a sheer robe or one of our delicate lace bodysuits from Cherie Amour’s collection. The contrast of fabric against skin makes this pose even more striking.
2. The Confidence Kick: Playful Meets Bold
For a playful yet powerful shot, try the confidence kick. Sitting upright on a bed or chair, lean back slightly and extend one leg up into the air. This pose highlights your legs while drawing attention to your torso and neckline.
This is also a great opportunity to incorporate accessories like heels or a statement piece from your wardrobe. A well-fitted bralette and high-waisted panty set add structure and elegance, creating a balanced look that oozes confidence. This pose works wonderfully for women of all shapes and sizes, offering a fun, flirtatious vibe to your gallery.
3. The Over-the-Shoulder Look: Flirty and Mysterious
Sometimes, less is more, and that’s exactly what the over-the-shoulder pose delivers. Sitting or standing with your back to the camera, turn your head slightly to look back over your shoulder. This angle emphasizes your shoulders and back while offering a hint of mystery.
Pair this pose with a lace-up bodysuit or a backless number for added impact. The way the fabric hugs your body will draw attention to the natural curve of your spine, creating a stun
4. The Reclining Goddess: Luxurious and Relaxed
For a pose that radiates pure luxury, the reclining goddess is a must-try. Lie on your back with your arms softly framing your face and one knee bent upward. This pose works wonders for highlighting your décolletage, waistline, and legs, creating a beautifully balanced image.

To add layers of texture and mood, drape yourself in a silk sheet or slip into a romantic chemise. This pose is perfect for capturing a more intimate, relaxed vibe, making it a favorite for women who want to emphasize softness and sensuality in their session.
5. The Power Pose: Fierce and Unforgettable
Finally, let’s talk about the power pose—a standing position that exudes strength and confidence. Place one hand on your hip while the other grazes your hair or collarbone. With your legs slightly apart, shift your weight to one side to create an effortlessly flattering line.
This pose is ideal for showing off a striking lingerie set or bodysuit. Use this moment to channel your inner supermodel—stand tall, own your space, and let your confidence shine through. It’s a bold, empowering pose that leaves a lasting impression.
