Beautiful Boudoir Photography at a Beautiful Price in October

October Savings on Boudoir Pictures at The Studio™

What would make a more beautiful gift for your special man, than Beautful Boudoir Pictures of his special lady?
How about knowing that his lady saved a bundle by planning her session to take advantage of The Studio's October Special?

The Special:

1. Come in to The Studio™ for a session now through October 31, 2008 and receive a FREE SESSION!
(That saves you $30.)

2. Come in to The Studio™ for a session now through October 15, 2008 and receive a FREE SESSION...
plus receive 10% off your portrait purchase! (That saves you....well, a lot more than $30!)

So, what's so special about October? Is it "National Boudoir Photography Month"? No. The reason for the special is simple logistics:

There are only so many available days for portrait sessions between now and the holidays. Although The Studio™ specializes in Boudoir Pictures, they also provide all types of portrait photography. And the holiday season is the busiest season of all for all photography studios. The Studio™ is no exception to that rule.

Beautiful Boudoir Pictures require tremendous skill...both in the photography area and in the digital retouching area. And Beautiful Boudoir Pictures require time...both for the session itself and in the post-session production.

The Studio™ won't rush anyone's session...and they won't rush the production of anyone's final portrait product. That means that sometimes The Studio™ has to turn down requests for a session. And no one wants that. So, to encourage their clients to start thinking about the holidays now, The Studio™ is offering a deal that is just too good to pass up.

So, what about the women who think that they "need to lose just 10 more pounds" in order to be ready for a Boudoir Session? Forget about that! The photographer's skill and the digital artistry at The Studio™ will make you look like you lost that 10 pounds, without you even trying! Eat a doughnut before your session. No one but you will know. That's a promise that The Studio™ knows how to keep.

Need to see some examples of Beautiful Boudoir Photos from The Studio™? Call or email The Studio™ to receive a password which will enable you to view their private Boudoir Gallery. The contact information is below.

Been thinking about a Boudoir Session? Time to quit thinking and act.
You (and he) will be very, very glad you did.

High School Senior Pictures in St. Louis

Taking High School Senior pictures is an important occassion. Senior Portraits are one of the big "portrait events" in anyone's lifetime. Selecting the right portrait studio can make or break your Senior Portrait experience.

While some high schools will require that their seniors have their yearbook photo taken at the school's contracted photographer, other high schools will accept photos from any studio for the yearbook. You should check with your school's yearbook department to find out their specific requirements.

Regardless of your school's yearbook photo rules, today's High School Seniors can have their "true" Senior Pictures taken wherever they choose. Your "true" Senior Pictures are the photos you want to give to your family and friends.



Here is what you should expect (and demand) from your "true" Senior Portraits and your photo session:

Flattering poses and lighting
Unique posing (not a cookie-cutter session)
Individual attention from a skilled photographer

When a portrait studio has large school contracts, the studio assumes they will be photographing hundreds, if not thousands of Seniors within a 3 to 4 month time period. That's why many Seniors report an "assembly-line", rushed atmosphere when they visit their school's portrait studio for their session. Long waits are common. Longer waits for proofs and the finished portraits are even more common.

The Studio™ at 1900 McCausland Ave, in the Maplewood/Richmond Heights area takes a different approach. Very different.

Although The Studio™ photographs many High School Seniors each year, we do not have formal contracts with any particular high school. That means we don't take any of our clients for granted. Although each Senior Session at The Studio™ is an indivualized experience, this is what our Seniors have come to expect from us:

First, The Studio™ offers professional hairstyling amd makeup prior to the photo session. (This is included in the $30 session fee.) In other words, we make you look great before your photo session, and we're here to give you touch-ups throughout the session, if you need it.

Next, at The Studio™, you will be photographed by your own personal highly skilled photographer. We find out from you exactly what you are looking for...and we give you that in your portraits. You won't be forced through a session that is just like everyone else's session. Your portraits will be unique to you.



Finally, you will get to see the results of your photo session immediately after the session. That's right! No more wondering how the pictures turned out. You will see the digital images from your session right away. And if you didn't get what you were looking for, we'll take you right back into the studio and make sure that you do.

Portrait selection is different at The Studio™, too. While you are viewing your digital images, you actually make your selections, place your order and pay for your portraits...the same day as your session. Because of our ordering system, your finished portraits will be ready in about 2 weeks...not 4 to 6 weeks, as is standard wait time at other studios.

And speaking of ordering portraits...you'll find that part of your experience at The Studio™ to be painless and pressure-free. Individual portrait sheets are $40. You can order individual sheets, order from our pre-set Senior Packages, or let us help you customize a package, using our volume discounts. We have options available for all budgets. And you'll receive the same great service and attention from us whether you order one $40 sheet or a hundred of them. Our customers are all very important to us.

Check out our High School Senior gallery on our website for a sampling of the work we do. You may see some of your friends' pictures in our gallery. And feel free to call or email us with any questions you may have regarding a session with us.

Our clients have told us that in St. Louis, The Studio™ is the place to go for High School Senior Pictures that are flattering and unique...and still won't break the bank. Why not find out what The Studio™ can do for you?

Boudoir Photography in St. Louis

Boudoir Photography is a special niche that is just as specialized as wedding or commercial photogaphy. That means that not just any photo studio with a camera, some lights and backgrounds can do the work properly. If you found this page, you are doing your research and that is very good.



The Studio™ is the place to go in St. Louis for awesome boudoir photos. For an idea of what our boudoir pictures look like, take a look at Maxim Magazine. Believe it or not, we can make you look like you stepped right out of the pages of Maxim. (See some samples of our work at the bottom of this page.) And for the regular soccer mom, like most of us, that takes a photography staff that knows what they are doing.

Our staff is currently all female. We understand you. We have all felt nervous and self-conscious about the same things that worry you. We are experts at wardrobe selection, hair and makeup, lighting, staging, posing and digital retouching.

When you come to The Studio for a Boudoir Photography session, our time is reserved just for you. Your session will be private and comfortable.

Maternity Portraits by The Studio

Maternity Portraits (or "Pregnancy Pictures") are some of the most important photographs you will ever take. You can rely on the team at The Studio to record this special time in your life with sensitive, beautiful and artistic images you will treasure forever.

Since movie star Demi Moore started the Maternity Photography trend in 1991 with her nude (but tasteful)...and very pregnant...photo on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine, Pregnancy Pictures have grown in popularity. Many modern mothers-to-be want to create this very personal keepsake, but perhaps don't know where to turn to get the type of image they are looking for.


While department store or mall photo studios may fit the bill when moms want to get their kids annual photo taken, Maternity Portraits require a more gifted eye...and a more private setting. Maternity Photos, like boudoir photos, call for a photography studio staffed with talented professionals who know how to make a woman look her absolute best. These are photos that cannot be easily "retaken". And when women are looking for Maternity Portraits, they usually have in mind something artistic and unique.

It takes a special photography studio to deliver special Pregnancy Portraits (pun intended).


The Studio, at 1900 McCausland Avenue in St. Louis, MO, has a lot of experience with producing gorgeous Maternity Portraits. Our clients who come to us for a Maternity Photo Session enjoy a professional makeover prior to the session. The actual photo session is private and comfortable. While all of our Maternity clients want creative, sensitive images of their growing bellies, some of our clients want to include their spouses and/or their other children in their images. At The Studio, we can accomodate all of these requests.

Our clients love the fact that they can view their images immediately after their photo session. By using this method of "proofing" their images, our clients know that we've gotten exactly what they were looking for, without having to wonder how the pictures turned out. Clients actually select their photos and order the ones they want before they leave our studio...the same day as their session. This means fewer trips to the photo studio for a busy mom-to-be.

Although all of the photos we take are available in color, black & white or sepia finishes for the final images are popular choices for Pregnancy Photos. More and more women are ordering their Pregnancy images to decorate their baby's room.

If you are expecting, you owe it to yourself to preserve this special moment in time with a beautiful portrait. And you owe it to yourself to go to the right studio to make getting that portrait a beautiful experience.

This is not the time for procrastination. If Maternity Portraits are on your wish list, call The Studio today at 314-644-0734.

Boudoir Photography

You know....The Studio didn't start out to be a St. Louis Boudoir Photographer.

But we've evolved into one of the best boudoir photography studios in the St. Louis area.

Boudoir photography is a special niche that is just as specialized as wedding or commercial photogaphy. That means that not just anyone who owns a camera, some lights and a couple of backgrounds can do the work properly.

For an idea of what our boudoir pictures look like, take a look at Maxim Magazine. Believe it or not, we can make you look like you stepped right out of the pages of Maxim. And for the regular, ordinary soccer mom, that takes a photography staff that knows what they are doing.

Our staff is currently all female. We have all felt nervous and self-conscious about the same things that worry you. We are experts at wardrobe selection, hair and makeup, lighting, staging, posing and digital retouching.
