Last week, Parker Murphy — better known on Instagram as Perfect Parker — finally made it in front of my camera.
Not after a week or two of trying.
More like six months… maybe closer to a year. Somewhere in that range.
I had actually started talking to Parker on Instagram last year, but then my Instagram account got deleted and I had to try to reconnect with her all over again. I’m lucky I was able to find my way back to her, because Instagram really fucked me out of being able to work with models the way I used to.
We kept trying to make it happen, schedules kept doing what schedules do, and finally… there she was.
And yes… she was worth the wait.
Parker is one of those girls who catches your attention fast. Petite little frame, cute face, blonde hair, beautiful ass, nice perky boobs… and somehow she packs a lot of heat into a small body. That’s probably the best way to explain it. She’s tiny, but she does not come across tiny once the camera is on her.
She came into town from about an hour and a half away, so we set the shoot a little later than I normally would. And to be clear, she was on time. We planned it that way. She made the drive, showed up ready, and we got straight to work.
This was my first real full-on magazine shoot in months. I probably haven’t done a longer one-on-one glamour shoot like this since around August of last year, so I’ll be honest… it took me a minute to get back into my normal rhythm. I forgot a couple of my little steps here and there. Nothing major, but enough for me to notice.
But once we got rolling… we got rolling.
Parker has modeled for a while, but some of this glamour stuff is still pretty new to her. In fact, this was only her second full nude shoot ever. You would have never known. She dropped her clothes completely down to her bare ass, and once she did, it was like she was walking around her own house naked alone with nobody watching. You would have never known there were any eyeballs on her.
Then, just to make things even more interesting, the power went out in the building for about 30 minutes.
So there was my photography assistant, Mikey Matchsticks, and me moving furniture around, trying to get to the breaker box, while Parker was basically sitting around butt naked waiting on us to figure out why the lights had gone out. Once we realized it wasn’t actually a breaker issue, we just kept shooting. Luckily, all of my strobes run on battery power, so the photo shoot itself did not have to stop. The only real concern was whether the studio was going to start getting hot, because once the power went out, the ACs were not doing anything either.
Good news… the power came back on in about 30 minutes, and we kept trucking.
She took direction well, moved naturally, hit the right expressions, and gave me more than enough to work with. And honestly, she barely needed editing, which never hurts either.
The shoot itself felt easy. We clicked fast. It almost felt like we had known each other for years instead of finally shooting together for the first time. That kind of thing helps when you’re trying to make real magazine images instead of just standing a girl in front of a backdrop and clicking buttons.
These are the first edits from the shoot. I may post more soon, but this is what I have ready right now.
And yes… Parker is getting published. No question.
Keep your eyes peeled for the announcement when her layout is published and the magazine comes out. I’ll post updates here, across my socials, and on my Telegram channel too… so if you’re not already following that, now would be a good time.
She also agreed during the shoot to be part of an upcoming Hotties Magazine Shootout. That shootout is coming up on Monday, Memorial Day, May 25th, so anybody wanting to shoot a newer face in this scene should definitely pay attention. A girl with her looks and personality could go viral, and then she may be a lot harder to book at some point.
And to be clear, this shoot was not set up at all to promote a shootout. When we started, there was no shootout plan. I wanted to see how her personality worked, how she posed, how her expressions looked, and whether her overall look made sense for my group of guys. It wasn’t until we were already well into the shoot that I knew without a doubt she would be a solid fit. Once she agreed, then we knew we were going to make the shootout happen.
After working with her, seeing how easy she was to get along with, and seeing what she brought to the shoot, I’m looking forward to working with her again. Whether that is another project, another layout, or the upcoming shootout, Parker is definitely somebody I want around the Hotties Magazine world.
Bottom line…
Parker Murphy finally happened.
And as her Instagram name suggests… she was Perfect.
