As the owner of Amanda Marquis Photography, I can confidently say that photographing women and helping them see their own beauty is my passion.

I’ve seen firsthand how a boudoir session can transform the way someone views themselves, and it’s the most rewarding part of my job. My studio is a place where you’re celebrated for exactly who you are—your confidence, strength, and beauty, all captured through my lens.

Whether you’re thinking of a session as a gift for someone special or as a powerful way to reconnect with yourself, I promise it’s an experience like no other. Here are 10 reasons why booking a boudoir session could be one of the most empowering and life-changing decisions you’ll ever make:

1. The Ultimate Gift for Your Significant Other

I know how much joy it brings my clients when they surprise their partner with a boudoir gallery. It’s such an intimate, personal gift that’s meant for their eyes only. Whether it’s for your anniversary, engagement, wedding, or just because—you’ll blow their mind! Your partner already sees you as the most beautiful person in the world, but this gift takes that to a whole new level. Trust me, I’ve seen the reactions, and they’re priceless.

2. A Gift for YOU

While boudoir photos are a beautiful gift to share with someone else, they are also an amazing gift for yourself. I believe every woman deserves to feel empowered, celebrated, and beautiful. Treat yourself to an experience that’s all about YOU. Forget the shoes or jewelry (though those accessories make great props for your session!). Boudoir is an investment in your confidence and self-love. The images we create together will remind you, over and over, just how incredible you are.

3. Celebrate Life’s Milestones

Life is full of moments that deserve to be celebrated. Did you just nail that big promotion? Have a baby? Start fresh as a single woman? Or maybe you’ve overcome a challenge, healed from an illness, or just reached a personal goal that makes you proud. Whatever your milestone is, a boudoir session is the perfect way to honor and capture it. And if life has thrown you some curveballs lately, a session can also be a powerful way to lift your spirits and remind you of your strength.

4. Fall in Love with Your Body

I know we’re all our own worst critics—I see it every day. But here’s the thing: your body is beautiful exactly as it is. My job as your photographer is to help you see that beauty through my lens. I’ll guide you through poses, light you beautifully, and show you angles you never knew existed. By the end of your session, you’ll look at those images and see yourself in a way that you maybe never have before. I’ll make sure you walk out of my studio feeling like the goddess you truly are.

5. Pamper Yourself Like You Deserve

When was the last time you treated yourself to something luxurious, just for you? At my studio, you’ll be pampered from start to finish. From professional hair and makeup to the fun of slipping into gorgeous lingerie, this experience is designed to make you feel amazing. You’ll leave my studio feeling confident, radiant, and ready to take on the world. This is about giving yourself permission to celebrate YOU, because you deserve it.

6. Step Outside Your Comfort Zone

If you’re feeling nervous or think boudoir isn’t something “you could ever do,” I want to tell you that you CAN. So many of my clients arrive at the studio feeling unsure or out of their element, but by the end of their session, they’re rocking it like supermodels. It’s such an incredible transformation to witness. Stepping outside your comfort zone might feel scary, but I promise it’s worth it. You’ll leave feeling stronger and more confident than ever before.

7. Make It a Girls’ Day Out

Who says you have to do this alone? Some of my favorite sessions are when clients bring their best friends along to share the experience. Go shopping for lingerie together, get pampered by my glam team, and cheer each other on during your shoots. It’s such a fun way to bond, and the memories (and photos) will last a lifetime. I love seeing how much joy this experience brings to groups of friends.

8. Get Comfortable in Front of the Camera

If you have a big event coming up—like your wedding—don’t wait until your big day to get comfortable in front of the camera. A boudoir session is a fantastic way to shake off any camera jitters and discover your best angles. By the time your wedding (or event) arrives, you’ll feel confident, natural, and ready for your close-up.

9. See Yourself Through My Eyes

This might be my favorite part of boudoir photography: showing you how beautiful you really are. I hear so many women say, “I’m not photogenic,” or “I have too many flaws.” But trust me, when you see your final images, you’ll see what I see—a confident, radiant, and stunning woman. My goal is to capture the beauty and strength that’s already inside you and show you just how incredible you are.

10. Have Fun!

Sometimes we forget how to just let go and have fun. That’s what this experience is all about! From the moment you step into my studio, we’ll laugh, we’ll dance, and we’ll create beautiful images together. My clients always tell me how much fun they had and how they wish they’d done it sooner. So what are you waiting for? Let’s make some magic!
