Into the Jungle

2012-01-11T01:05:00.001-08:00

Continuing the inspiration theme for this new year, I'm posting some lingerie ideas for upcoming Valentine's sessions! Here's one of my favorite styles~ the leopard print. Vampy and glamorous, this look has a retro feel and can bring out the inhibition in even the tamest personalities! Style with some gorgeous waves and red lipstick (like this image of Rosie Huntington-Whitely), this will surely make any heart beat a little faster! And remember, all early 2012 clients get an exclusive 20% Off coupon for Dollhouse Bettie (winner of Best Lingerie Boutique by The Lingerie Addicts Blog), so check them out for some great leopard styles! Stay tuned tomorrow for another inspiration! xoxo Kelly

Happy New Year + Creative Framing Ideas!

2012-01-06T00:00:00.000-08:00

Hope everyone has been having a great new year week! I know, it's kinda hard getting back into the swing of things this first week, right? For me, I like to ease back into things with a bit of self-reflection and inspiration. So I'm delighted to share some creative framing ideas a recent client sent me! She gave these as beautiful holiday gifts and I think they are just super cute and a fun way to show off the images! Check out a DIY retro frame below!

Here's a gorgeous red frame with classic beveled mat.

This elevates your images to a Fine Art level!

A whimsical frame with curved edges.

Makes a bold and creative statement!

Doesn't this wire frame looks like it's picked up from a vintage fair? This can actually be found at your local Target! To get this kitchy retro look, DIY: Get a can of spray paint from the hardware or art store- choose a fun color (like this beautiful teal) give it a nice coat or two and voila! DIY has never been easier! This frame is a work of art by itself!

And this frame with natural fibers pairs nicely with the beach themed pin-up. Wouldn't it bring the warm feeling of the tropics to any home? I can almost feel that cool breeze and hear the sound of rushing waves! Ahhhhh....that's where I want to be for my next vacation!

So hope you enjoyed these ideas! All the frames were purchased at Aaron Brothers except the teal one mentioned above. Other framing shops I recommend are Michael's and University Art. Remember that beautiful pin-ups deserve beautiful presentations and it can be both simple and affordable to customize your own framing! Stay tuned for some more Valentine's deals coming next week! xoxo Kelly

New Vintage Headboard and Bedroom Set!

2011-10-11T09:37:00.001-07:00

Inspired by the tufted vintage headboard from Mad Men (just can't wait for the new season to begin!) I created this bedroom set perfect for both modern boudoir photos as well as retro pin-ups! This bedroom set evokes the look of a lavish hotel mixed with a little 1960's inspiration (Think Marilyn Monroe bedroom pics). Paired with your favorite lingerie (whether modern or vintage-inspired) the possibilities for beautiful, sexy photos are endless! Above are a few examples from a recent boudoir photo session. I just love how the colors really pop against the creamy satin texture and how any lingerie can work against this lush setting. For packages and info on booking a session, please email: bayareapinups@gmail.com (408)329-2511 Reserve your holiday session soon to create a gorgeous gift to remember! New album design, books and calendars available! Thanks for stopping by! xoxo Kelly

A Modern Presentation with a Vintage Touch

2011-09-01T09:02:00.001-07:00

I'm excited to introduce a new collection of flush-mounted albums this fall from Indigo Album Design! What I love about these albums is that you can customize each with your choice of luxurious leathers or elegant Japanese bookcloths, and mix it up with a selection of beautiful interior end papers. All images are mounted flush to the pages and include a custom design of your pin-up or boudoir photographs with full panoramic spreads. It's a modern presentation with a vintage touch. What better way to create a lasting keepsake of your gorgeous pin-up or boudoir photos? Did I mention that these albums were just featured as an Editor's pick from Brides magazine this past August? Someone once said "a picture is worth a thousand words"...well this album will speak directly to your heart and make a truly wonderful gift to be treasured for years to come.

Beautiful Photos deserve beautiful albums! Join my Facebook Page for more galleries and updates! Stay tuned for album design samples coming soon! xoxo Kelly For Packages and info, please contact: bayareapinups@gmail.com or (408) 329-2511

New! Handcrafted Accordion Book

2011-08-02T11:12:00.001-07:00

Having a love for simple and handmade things, there's just something special to me about a handmade book. I took a bookbinding class in college and can appreciate the process and skill it takes to carefully measure, wrap, and choose the perfect binding and paper to create an elegant and beautiful book. So when I found these accordion books created by professional artisan bookbinders, I knew it would make a wonderful one-of-a kind presentation for your pin-up or boudoir photos! These books even got the attention of Oprah and were featured on her "O List!" So you know these books are special!

Each book comes wrapped in red, black, plum or champagne bookcloth, tied with a silk ribbon and classic button enclosure. I'm delighted to now offer this special accordion collection when you book a Half-Day Pampered Pin-Up Package, or simply add this as an upgrade to the basic Petite Pin-Up Package.

Beautiful Photos deserve beautiful albums- So make your loved one feel special with this gorgeous keepsake or cherish this gift for yourself!

More unique albums are coming this holiday season so stay tuned for more! Thanks for stopping by! xoxo Kelly Contact me: bayareapinups@gmail.com or (408)329-2511 for package info or schedule a session

Choosing the Right Boudoir or Pin-Up Photographer

2011-02-11T13:39:00.001-08:00

Recently, I noticed that when people are looking for a photographer, they tend to evaluate services solely based on two criteria: Price and quantity of images. While these should be considered, boudoir and pin-up photography is a very personal experience and I believe there are a variety of factors necessary to ensure you have a successful session. I decided to put together some information to help you when it comes to choosing the right boudoir or pin-up photographer for you.

1) Initial consultation. Talk by phone/in person to discuss your session and get a sense of the photographer's style and approach. How much experience does she/he have in this field, what different styles/backdrops are offered, is this a professional or home based studio?

2) Quality vs quantity. This is a biggie. When you browse through a magazine, how many photos do you see of a fashion or celebrity shoot? Usually not more than 4-6 images in a spread. All the photos have been retouched and the model has had hours of hair and make-up styling with a full day of shooting with the photographer. The images are amazing of Natalie Portman and Katy Perry, right? What you won't see are a bunch of unedited*, unretouched images or a repetition of the same outfit/pose. When looking for a photographer, do you really want a large quantity of unedited images or a selection of high-quality photos that you really love and are magazine worthy? Which would you rather give to your loved one? My advice is to not look at numbers you "get" but rather the quality of work and style. To evaluate the photographer whose style is right for you, ask to see a gallery from a sample photo session. Here is an example of Before/After Images where you can see how the client began the photo session make-up free, to the styling process, and some final retouched photos. Difference between edited & retouched photos? *Editing is the correct term for the selection of best images (from all the shots taken in a session) and may or may not include some color adjustments and cropping. Retouching is a labor-intensive process where each individual image is worked on to achieve flawless looking skin, slimming effects, and so on...Here is an example of celebrity retouched photos to get the idea.

3) The creative process. Having worked in the professional industry for years in NY, I've been on many shoots and it all comes down to the basics.

- Styling. Every session starts with thorough styling with a skilled make-up/hair stylist. They truly can perform miracle transformations and if you want hair like Gisele, smokey eyes like Kim K., or a flawless complexion and vampy lips like Dita Von Teese, chances are, you need the pros to work their magic on you! Any trained stylist with industry experience will tell you it doesn't always come fast. Average styling time with my stylists are 1.5 hours and includes application of false lashes, sometimes extra layers! Please refer to Before/After examples. If someone offers 20min "quick" styling from start to finish, I would be skeptical of the end result.

- Environment. A pin-up/boudoir photo shoot is an intimate experience. You need to feel comfortable in the environment where the shoot will take place. Shooting in a dedicated studio with a private changing area will put you in a different emotional state of preparation than shooting at someone's home.

-Timing. Fashion shoots are notorious for taking 12 hour days. Though time should be used more efficiently for busy everyday gals, it's not realistic to think of a pin-up or boudoir shoot as a quick, "snap and go" experience. An average session with multiple outfits/backdrop changes takes around 2 hours minimum. Since most of my clients have never posed in their lives, helping them take the time to feel comfortable and know what to expect is very important in this process.

I hope this gives some helpful ideas to factor in when deciding on a boudoir or pin-up photographer. Whether it's a gift for yourself or a loved one, it's important to feel comfortable about the process and the photographer you're working with. Have any questions or comments, experiences to share? I would love to hear from you. Email me: bayareapinups@gmail.com (408)329-2511 Thanks for stopping by!

Xoxo

Boudoir Photography

2011-02-03T13:24:00.001-08:00

If you're looking for beautiful, classic boudoir photos, you're in good company. :-) I've always been inspired by traditional and modern black and white photography and love capturing the feminine form in this style. Some of my favorite photographers are Henri Cartier-Bresson, Patrick Demarchalier, and Herb Ritts to name a few. Having a background in photojournalism, I look for natural moments to bring out the best in your portraiture. So whether you are a classic boudoir gal or a fan of retro pin-ups, my stylists and I can help you custom design the vision of your session! I'm available for consultations and sessions throughout February and I will be going on Maternity leave from March-July. Please feel free to contact me for packages or to schedule a consultation. Thank you and have an inspiring day! xoxo Kelly Email: bayareapinups@gmail.com (408)329-2511

New Photos!

2008-02-05T11:35:00.000-08:00

Since I started this service just three weeks ago, I've had an amazing amount of support and interest from everyone I've encountered. So many women have told me they've always wanted to do a photo shoot like this, and how hard it is to find the right photographer (especially in the Bay Area) Because I'm a female, I can relate to you, and totally understand wanting to express yourself and doing something special just for you (and maybe giving him a little teaser...) All the photo shoots are so much fun, the getting ready, the transformation, it's really a fantastic experience to go through. I love connecting with each girl behind the lens, and helping her bring out her fabulous side. So here are some sexy new photos! Please check back soon, I will be updating more! Wish everyone a Happy Lunar Year! Thanks for stopping by! xoxo Kelly

Welcome to my new pin-up page!

I have been a fan of pin-up photography for ages, and I am so excited to finally share some of my recent work with all of you. My photography is inspired by women from the 1950's, and 1960's, as well as the classic 1920's -1940 movie stars. I want to create images that show women in a sexy, confident way, true to themselves, but also fulfilling an image we can all relate to.
