5 Easy Poses

Let’s be honest.

Most women don’t hate photos of themselves.
They hate feeling awkward in them.

You don’t need to be a model.
You don’t need complicated posing.
And you definitely don’t need to “fix” your body.

You need structure.

As a boudoir and fantasy photographer in Toledo, Ohio, I guide women through posing every single week, and the truth is, there are just a few foundational poses that instantly change how you look and feel in photos.

These are simple, beginner-friendly, and work whether you’re taking a mirror selfie or preparing for a professional boudoir session.

The Real Secret to Better Photos

It’s not about memorizing poses perfectly.

It’s about:

• Relaxing your jaw

• Breathing instead of holding tension

• Letting your shoulders drop

• Slowing down

The camera captures tension immediately.
It also captures softness immediately.

As a Toledo boudoir photographer, the biggest transformation I see isn’t physical, it’s the shift from “Am I doing this right?” to “Oh. That’s me.”

That’s the difference between posing and presence.
