Posing for a Boudoir shoot

I get this question a lot before girls come to their shoot: "How can I prepare for the shoot?"
Well, besides the hair, makeup and a few saucy numbers to wear, I try to point the girls into the right direction. For pose inspirations I think a great place to look is at Adriana Lima. She is one of the Victoria Secret models who really works on her poses. There was a special on Victoria Secret where she was talking about how she practices in front of a mirror. I'd say google her name and look at her body language. I don't know what type of figure you have but do keep in mind that she is a professional model who can sit and not worry about belly fat bunching up...look at the poses where her body is elongated, stretched, not really bent if you are trying to conceal anything...
Pay attention to her arms but don't memorize. Just get a feel for it and try it in front of your mirror and see what looks good. Also a good thing to notice are the eyes! But don't worry, I'll be there to point you in the right direction.
