Don't worry about all those things that have made you procrastinate! You don't need to lose 5 more pounds! You don't need to get a deeper tan! You don't need to wait for that special lingerie that is back-ordered to arrive! And definitely don't let your fear or nerves hold you back from this awesome experience. At St. Louis Boudoir, we've got your back!

Our amazing retouching will make you look like you lost inches! Skin that is fresh from the tanning bed gives most people's skin a red undertone and is not desirable. And more often than not, whatever you have on hand for wardrobe will work just fine...in the hands of the masters, which we are! As far as your "fear" goes...you will likely lose all those feelings of nervousness within 5 minutes of meeting us. Every single client who experiences a Boudoir session with us, tells us that their Boudoir session was tons of fun, and was much less intimidating than they ever imagined. Learn more about the Ultimate Boudoir Photography Experience here.

The gift of Boudoir Portraits is the most romantic, personal gift you can give. It's the gift that will leave him literally speechless! Don't pass up this opportunity to make yourself feel beautiful, and make your guy know that he is "the one". Do this for him....and for you. You will be so glad you did!

Important Message About Our Country's Future

If I am going to use my studio's blog to discus anything other than my studio's news or business...then it has to be something very important. This is one of those times.

To learn the truth, Americans need to visit this link and watch the video:

Setting the Record Straight

Meaningful change is on the horizon...change that will benefit us all. Change that the insurance companies, the pharmaceutical companies and some in the medical industry DON'T want to see happen, because the pitiful state of our country's health care system works for them and their wallets. Don't let yourself be lied to any longer. Special interest groups want to keep us dumb and full of fear. Don't be dumb and fearful. Take this opportunity to inform yourself. As a country, we can't afford to remain ignorant any longer.

Pageant Headshots

It's Pageant Season at The Studio!

Every year it seems we see more and more local pageant participants who need new headshots for competition. We've been told that "our girls" do well in the Photogenic competition for National American Miss, Dreamgirls, and several other popular pageant circuits. As a matter of fact, at a recent competition, photos by The Studio won 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th places in the Photogenic competition. Sounds like a pretty darn good record to me! Maybe that's why The Studio is one of the pageant world's best kept secrets.

At The Studio, we photograph all ages of pageant contestants, from young children to adults. And, we've been priveledged to be able to watch several of "our girls" change and grow over the years.





After photographing girls and young women for pageants for so long, we have a keen understanding of what the pageant judges are looking for in a competition print. We know how to help you produce a classic pageant headshot...and a more "out of the box" personality shot that will showcase your contestant's uniqueness.



Individual portraits at The Studio usually take about 2 weeks for completion, because most pageant contestants add digital retouching to their order. Sometimes we can get portraits back more quickly for you...but you shouldn't wait until the last minute, if at all possible.

The Session Fee at The Studio is $30. This includes professional hairstyling and makeup prior to the photo session, the session, and viewing the images on our computer immediately after the session. Portrait prices begin at $40, for an 8x10 or smaller. Digital retouching is $50 per pose.

We also provide the High Resolution Image on cd, for those who prefer to "buy the negative" and get large quantities of prints made elsewhere. The High Resolution Image on cd is $175 per image. This price includes digital retouching on the image as well as a color and black and white version of the image, in print-quality resolution and in web-quality resolution. When you own this version of an image, you own the rights to the image, and can reproduce it as you see fit.

We know that serious pageant participants look for any edge they can find to better their chances in competition. The Studio is one of those "edges". Give us a call to see what The Studio can do for you. And check out our promo and headshot gallery online, to see just some of our previous pageant and promotional headshot clients.
