It’s been a very exciting week!
Yesterday morning I had the chance to shoot at the beautiful Gladstone Hotel in the ‘Red Room’, with Lisa who wanted to do a Luxe Boudoir shoot for her boyfriend for Valentine’s Day and for their 3rd anniversary at the end of this month. Lisa wanted some sexy, fun and flirty pics as the perfect gift for her man and we definitely delivered! I’m pretty sure he’ll be a happy guy.
This Luxe Boudoir session was also filmed for a feature on a brand new CTV-produced show which will air its premiere episode on Canadian network CP24 this week. The show is called ‘Sex Matters’ and the CTV press release describes this edgy new show as “a new half-hour, live-to-air program that takes a fun and frank look at sex. Hosted by two-time Gemini Award nominee Cynthia Loyst, the show features an edgy, playful and honest look at a subject that everyone has questions about. Airing Thursdays and Fridays at 10:30 p.m. beginning February 11, 2010, viewers can kick back and enjoy a ‘Sex and the City of Toronto’ experience – cosmopolitan optional.”
For this shoot the always-talented Melanie Sivitilli (click here to check out her site) gave Lisa gorgeous make-up and sexy curls (I like to call this “bedroom hair” – it’s curly and sexy but it’s a loose flexible ‘do that can be played with during various poses.) Here are a few production stills for you:

After hair and make-up was finished, Lisa was a bit nervous (like most girls are before their Luxe Boudoir shoot) but she quickly eased into the posing and was really a total natural! Lisa was so much fun to work with and we had a great time choosing her outfits, and shooting around the amazing red room. The red walls were just stunning and allowed me to create a look that was very unique, and it really “popped”. I love the results from this session!
Here are my fave shots from Lisa’s session:












And here’s a fun shot of all of us after the session finished-up – Melanie Sivitilli (Hair and Make-up), Lisa (our lovely client), Cynthia Loyst (Host and Producer for ‘Sex Matters’) and Lisa Mark (me!):

And here’s a shot of Cynthia and Brian our talented cameraman for the segment:

A huge thank you goes out to everyone involved in this shoot – especially to Cynthia for inviting us to take part in this episode of ‘Sex Matters’.
If you want to see the episode of ‘Sex Matters’ featuring our session, it’s airing on Thursday February 11th, 2010 from 10:30 PM – 11:00 PM on CP24. Lisa (the client) will be live in-studio on Thursday night for a question and answer session all about her experience. So if you always wanted to do a Boudoir shoot but had questions about what it’s like, you can call-in live to the show on Thursday night and ask her live on-air!

Ann - Some really great shots, Lisa! Wild red room, eh? I can’t wait to see the special. Congrats!
Jennifer Ballard - Awesome Lisa! Love the red theme!
Lisa N - Thank-you for everything Lisa. Looking forward to tomorrow!
Artistic Boudoir - Indiana - The Red Room could not have been more perfect for these shots. The colors are so vibrant and they really complement the personality of Lisa. The football jersey, and messy bed gave off a fun and playful/flirty atmosphere. Good luck on the airing of the show! Hope all comes out well!
