Today we’d like to introduce you to Maggie Judge.
Maggie, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
Two years ago, I won a free boudoir session from a local photographer. When the photos were released, I had such an overwhelming response on social media, I thought I would take a chance and apply with a modelling agency. To my surprise, I was offered a contract with Neal Hamil. Since then, I’ve grown an Instagram following of over 70,000 loyal fans and worked contracts with several notable designers. .
Has it been a smooth road?
The road is only as smooth as you make it. I had no preset expectations, therefore I view every opportunity as an absolute blessing.
My advice to young women starting their journey as a model is to first get to know and love yourself. Build your brand, be patient, stay true to yourself, and never let anyone tell you that your dreams can’t come true.
We’d love to hear more about your work.
I am a plus size model. I specialize in lingerie, wedding and special event attire, as well as specialty boutique casual wear.
I am most known for my outgoing, warm, positive nature and of course, my curves.
I am proud to be an inspiration to women who may feel they don’t have a place in the modelling industry or who may struggle with body image and self-confidence.
What sets me apart is that I am genuine and bring a unique look and style to the industry.
Do you recommend any apps, books or podcasts that have been helpful to you?
The writings of Anais Nin and other inspiring female poets.
Anais Nin, Nikki Rowe, Adrienne Rich, Sharon Olds, Margaret Atwood to name a few, are my top favorite powerful female poets. There are so many art forms, but poetry has this magical way of conveying human nature through the rhythmic written word. Female poets especially, have used their words to spark change in many essential movements throughout history, and their words are just as important today as they ever have been. Their words have helped shape who I am today, which is why I love pairing their words with photos of myself when posting on social media. There is a fabulous app “Poem Hunter” that has thousands of poems available for free. You can search by post, theme, key word etc. to find a poem for just about any moment. Highly recommend!
