The Anatomy of a Boudoir Shoot | St Louis Boudoir Photographer

It was my absolute pleasure to involve my friend and former high school cohort, Marissa Murphy Hart, who is currently a student in the arts of beautification, to join me on a cold, rainy weekend morning at our uber secret, gorgeously lit location in the heart of historic downtown Alton, Illinois for a party like no other. A party involving mimosas, wine, chocolate, music and well... some sexy, smokin' hot, half naked ladies. She rocked the hair and makeup, the ladies rocked the attitude, and I rocked the shots. As a result, there were a few happier men in the world this Valentine's Day and three women who got to see themselves as they never have before. Enjoy a little indulgence into that day (which will live in my mind forever as the 'Marissa Got Pulled Over For Speeding While Trying To Get To The Naked Ladies Day'.... heeheehee).....

She really, really rocked it. But first, everyone looked like, well, a little bit like little old ladies at the beauty shop....

But glam takes a little bit of work, even when working with beauties like these. So we added a little makeup to our hair-in-the-works....

Lucky me? I got to enjoy a round of chocolate and strawberries and sip my mimosa while the first lady was made up all pretty like! Music and good conversation and pampering. Does it get any better?
