You Are Not Supposed to Walk In Knowing How to Do This
One of the biggest misconceptions about boudoir is that you need to know how to pose before you book. You do not.
You also do not need modeling experience, a particular body shape, or the confidence to walk into the studio feeling fearless.
Amanda guides the session. That means helping with:
- your hands
- your shoulders
- your legs
- your hips
- your chin
- your expression
- your movement
- your angles
The camera sees shape, light, movement, and composition differently than the mirror in your bathroom does. Amanda's job is to understand those things. Your job is to show up.
You do not need to know how to pose.
Your Body Should Determine the Pose, Not the Other Way Around
A pose that works beautifully for one person may need to be completely changed for someone else.
Height changes the pose. Proportions change the pose. Mobility changes the pose. Wardrobe changes the pose. The angle of the camera changes the pose.
And what you personally want emphasized or softened matters too.
Plus size boudoir should never mean putting every woman into a list of so-called flattering poses and hoping one works. Amanda builds posing around the person in front of her.
Sometimes that means changing how weight is distributed. Sometimes it means adjusting an arm, turning a shoulder, lengthening a leg, changing the direction of the light, or moving the camera.
Those details matter. Not because your body needs fixing. Because photography is a visual craft, and thoughtful posing is part of that craft.
The Experience Starts Before You Arrive at the Studio
A strong boudoir session should not begin with you standing in a room wondering what happens next. Your experience starts before session day.
The consultation gives you an opportunity to understand the process, ask questions, and talk about what you are considering.
Wardrobe planning helps you think through the type of photographs you want to create and what you may want to bring.
You do not need to build the entire experience yourself. That preparation matters even more if this is your first boudoir session.
The Bedford Studio Client Closet Runs From XXS Through 6XL
Plus size clients should not arrive at a photography studio only to discover that every wardrobe option was purchased for somebody else.
Amanda Marquis Photography's client closet includes sizing from XXS through 6XL.
That gives clients across a broad range of sizes access to wardrobe options inside the studio. But the client closet is only part of the wardrobe conversation. You can also bring your own pieces.
Lingerie can work beautifully, but boudoir does not require one specific type of outfit. Depending on the images you want to create, possibilities can include:
- bodysuits
- lingerie sets
- robes
- oversized shirts
- jackets
- sheets
- personal pieces
- items with meaning to you
"What makes me look smallest?"
The better question is:
"What do we want these photographs to feel like?"
Professional Hair and Makeup Are Part of Your Boudoir Experience
Your boudoir experience includes professional hair and makeup.
This gives you time to settle into the studio before the photography begins and allows the finished look to work intentionally with the session.
You are not expected to arrive camera-ready.
You are also not expected to know how makeup should translate under professional lighting or how your hair should work with the photographs being created. That is part of why professional styling is built into the experience.
The goal is still for you to look like you. Just photographed intentionally.
What Happens During a Boudoir Session in Bedford?
Every session is personal, but the broader experience is designed so you are guided rather than left wondering what comes next.

Your experience takes place at Amanda Marquis Photography inside Bedford Village Shops at 184 Route 101.

See Your Photographs
Boudoir clients have a same-day reveal, allowing you to see the images created during the experience.
"What About My Stomach?"
For many plus size women considering boudoir, the question is not whether they want beautiful photographs. The question is whether the photographer will know what to do with the parts of their body they feel complicated about.
Maybe that is your stomach. Maybe your arms. Maybe your thighs. Maybe something completely different.
You are allowed to have preferences about how you are photographed.
A body-positive studio should not require you to pretend you love every angle of yourself before you are allowed to walk through the door. Talk about it.
Amanda can use pose, perspective, wardrobe, light, and composition intentionally while still creating photographs that look like you.
The purpose is not to erase your body. It is to photograph it with skill.
Boudoir Does Not Belong to One Body Type
Open enough boudoir inspiration online and it can start to feel like the experience was created for one kind of woman. It was not.
Your size does not determine whether you are feminine enough, sexy enough, photogenic enough, or worthy enough to take up space in front of the camera.
And a plus size boudoir experience should not revolve around disguising your body until it resembles a smaller one.
Amanda's job is to work with your shape, your proportions, your movement, and the photographs you want to create.
You do not need permission to be visible.
Boudoir Can Be Bold Without Being About Anyone Else
Some women book boudoir as a gift. Some book around a milestone. Some have a birthday coming. Some want photographs before a wedding. And some simply decide they want to do it for themselves.
You do not need a special occasion. You also do not need to explain the decision to anyone else.
The experience can be sensual, editorial, playful, dramatic, soft, bold, or a mix of styles. The session should reflect what you want to create.

Meet Amanda Marquis
Amanda Marquis is the photographer and educator behind Amanda Marquis Photography.
Her approach to boudoir centers on guidance.
Most clients are not professional models, so the photography experience should not depend on them already knowing how to move, pose, or perform for a camera.
Amanda directs those details throughout the session while also considering the client's comfort, preferences, wardrobe, and the images they want to create.
Her work includes boudoir, plus size boudoir, specialty portraiture, and personal branding. She also teaches photographers through The Marquis Method.
Amanda Marquis Photography is a:
6-Time Best of the 603 Winner
Being Welcome Matters. Knowing How to Photograph You Matters Too.
A photographer can say that every size is welcome. That is important.
But for a plus size client, being welcomed through the door is only the beginning. The experience also needs:
- wardrobe options that actually include your size
- posing that adapts to your body
- lighting chosen intentionally
- guidance throughout the session
- space to talk about what you do and do not want emphasized
- a photographer who does not panic when your body does not match the pose in a Pinterest screenshot
You should not have to spend your session teaching the photographer how to photograph your body.
