plus size boudoir
I always tell my boudoir clients that I have “layering pieces” in my studio closet, so I love when I have an opportunity to actually show those pieces on my blog. Aly wore a simple navy bra/underwear set, which looked beautiful with both of these robes.
Dangerous curves ahead…
Gorgeous mom alert! Side note: All of these layering pieces are in my studio closet and available for clients to wear during sessions. Just make sure you let me know ahead of time, in case it happens to be at my house (I have two studio closets)!
Thank you, Aly, for modeling all of these pieces!
Lauren and I created these stunning images at my studio, just after sunset. Our only light source, other than a little bit of dusky goodness, was the glow from cars and nearby businesses. Lauren, a fat-positive model based out of Portland, styled everything herself (hair, makeup, wardrobe) and I think she did a fabulous job!
Lauren is a gorgeous and confident plus sized model, so working with her was an absolute pleasure. We shot this after the sun went down, so it was basically dark in my studio. I had a rental camera in my posession and wanted to test out the low light capabilities, so this was a good way to do that.

I have a small collection of items in my studio closet that are available to boudoir clients. I do not provide any intimate items, such as bras or panties, but I have some cool layering pieces that you can wear over your own lingerie during your session. This post is specifically for my plus sized clients, although most of these will work on smaller sizes too.
Up first is this gorgeous (real) velvet cape in a deep red color. I commissioned a local fashion designer to make this for me, as I wore it for my own photo shoot in Scotland. It is heavy and drapes beautifully, with a slight train on those who are about 5’7” and shorter.
These two pieces look great over a simple black bra & panty set. The gown (size 3x) has an elastic waist, loose sleeves, and slits on the sides. The shorter piece (size 1x) is sheer, with little flutter sleeves, and an empire waist. Both of these work really well for for those with larger chests.
Next up is a simple, tie front lace robe (2X), which layers nicely over any solid color bra and underwear set. Also available, upon request, is a vape pen, which gives a cool “smoking” look to photos. The cartridge contains no THC, CBC, or tobacco/nicotine. It is just a flavored vapor. Please make sure you request this ahead of time, though, so that I can make sure it’s sanitized, charged, and ready.
This cream lace number is actually a dress from Torrid (size 3), with the liner removed. It looks beautiful over nude or pastel colored lingerie, or with nothing underneath, as seen here.
Last, but not least, is this silky green robe. I purchased this, as something for my clients to wear, while in between outfits or while getting their hair and makeup done, but it photographs so beautifully that I decided to just add it to the boudoir closet instead.
Thank you to Teresa Renee, my beautiful model for this shoot.
I add items to my boudoir closet periodically and may not post photos right away. So, if you want to see what’s in my closet, just ask when you’re there!
