Plus Size Boudoir
Photography in New Hampshire
You do not need to lose weight first. You do not need to know how to pose. You do not need to become a different version of yourself before you deserve photographs you love.
Amanda Marquis Photography creates a fully guided luxury Boudoir experience for women across a wide range of sizes and body types, with professional hair and makeup, an inclusive client wardrobe, expert posing and a same-day image reveal.
“I Want to Do Boudoir,
But I Want to Lose Weight First.”
Amanda hears some version of this all the time.
Maybe you have a number in your head. Ten pounds. Twenty pounds. A clothing size. A body you remember having years ago. A version of yourself you think you need to become before you are allowed to step in front of a camera.
But there is no weight requirement for Boudoir. There is no ideal size. And there is no rule saying your body must change before it deserves to be photographed beautifully.
Professional Boudoir photography is not about expecting you to arrive knowing your best angles. That is what Amanda is there for. Your session is built around professional lighting, deliberate posing, wardrobe, movement, expression and direction designed specifically for the person standing in front of Amanda's camera.
You show up as you are. Amanda guides the rest.
You Are Not Expected To Know How To Pose.
One of the biggest fears clients have before booking a Boudoir photoshoot is wondering what they are supposed to do with their body once the camera comes out.
The answer is simple: Amanda tells you.
Throughout your session, Amanda directs:
- posture
- hands
- shoulders
- hips
- legs
- feet
- facial expression
- eye line
- movement
- transitions between poses
You will not be standing alone in front of the camera wondering where to put your hands. Amanda demonstrates, adjusts and directs throughout the session.
Great Boudoir Posing Is Not About Making You Look Like Someone Else
The goal is not to manipulate your body into becoming a different body. Professional posing uses posture, angles, movement, perspective, lighting and expression to create intentional photographs. Amanda photographs the person in front of her rather than forcing every client into the exact same poses.
What Do You Wear for a Plus Size Boudoir Session?
Lingerie can be gorgeous for Boudoir, but it is not the only option. Your session can be styled around what makes you feel confident, comfortable and like yourself.
Options might include:
- bodysuits
- bra and panty sets
- robes
- stockings
- oversized sweaters
- button-down shirts
- sheets
- heels
- jewelry
- personal pieces from home
- items from Amanda's client wardrobe
Amanda's current client closet includes options ranging from XXS through 6XL. During your consultation, Amanda can help you think through coverage, shape, texture, color and the overall feeling you want from your photographs.
You Do Not Have to Wear Something Revealing
Boudoir does not have a required amount of skin. Some clients want lingerie. Some want implied images. Some love oversized clothing. Some want dramatic glamour. Some want photographs that are softer and more covered. The session should reflect your comfort level and your vision.
See Yourself Represented
If you have ever looked at a Boudoir photographer's portfolio and wondered, “But do they photograph women who look like me?” this gallery is here for you. Amanda photographs clients across different sizes, shapes, ages and levels of comfort in front of the camera.
“What If I Hate My Stomach?”
You are allowed to have parts of your body you feel complicated about. You do not have to walk into Amanda's studio pretending every insecurity disappeared at the door.
Talk to Amanda about what you love, what you are nervous about and how you want to be photographed. Posing, wardrobe, lighting and camera angles can all influence how an image feels.
But the goal is not to hide you. The goal is to photograph you intentionally, beautifully and with the same level of care Amanda brings to every client.
A Full-Service Boudoir Experience From Start to Finish
Consultation
Your experience begins before session day. Amanda learns what you want from the shoot, what you are excited about, what makes you nervous and how you want your photographs to feel.

Guided Posing
Amanda directs your posing throughout the session. No modeling experience is required.

Same-Day Reveal
After your session, you will have the opportunity to see your photographs and select the images and products you love.
Common Questions and Fears
The thoughts that keep women from booking are usually the same ones that disappear once the experience begins.
“I'm Too Big for Boudoir.”
There is no maximum size for deserving beautiful photographs. Boudoir is not reserved for one body type.
“I've Never Liked Pictures of Myself.”
That is one of the reasons clients choose an experienced professional photographer. Lighting, posing, camera position, expression and direction make an enormous difference from a casual photograph or phone snapshot.
“I'll Feel Awkward.”
You probably will for the first few minutes, and that is completely normal. Amanda directs the session instead of expecting you to perform for the camera.
“I Don't Own Lingerie.”
You do not need to arrive with an entire Boudoir wardrobe. Amanda's client closet currently includes sizes XXS through 6XL, and lingerie is only one of many styling options.
“I'm Not Confident Enough.”
Confidence does not have to be the requirement for booking the session. For many clients, confidence is part of what develops through having the experience.
Choose a Boudoir Photographer Who Knows How to Photograph Different Bodies
A beautiful Boudoir photograph involves much more than putting someone in front of a camera. Amanda uses posing, lighting, lens choice, camera position, movement, wardrobe and expression intentionally throughout each session.
More importantly, she guides the client instead of expecting the client to already know how to look good in photographs.

Yes. Boudoir isn't restricted by age or size. Clients book sessions at many different stages of life, for milestones, personal celebrations, gifts, or simply because they want the experience. You don't age out of being photographed.
You're not alone. That's actually one of the biggest reasons clients book. Professional Boudoir is very different from a phone photo or casual snapshot. I control the lighting, camera position, posing, expression, and composition throughout the session and guide you through the entire process.
Stop Waiting for a Different Version of Yourself.
You can have questions. You can be nervous. You can have insecurities.
None of those things disqualify you from having this experience.
