September Issue, Vintage Life

Hi there darling, I'm sorry for my hiatus. I've been busy with new shoots, I can't wait to share with you! You can follow my updates on Instagram here. Before September is over, I'm posting a Pin-Up portrait of a dear friend of mine, the talented and lovely Lottie Ryan, featured in this month's Vintage Life magazine. In this article, she writes how vintage styling and her first pin-up photo session with me, literally helped her recover from a major surgery, "rediscover her femininity" and love for glamour again. Not only is she one of the gorgeous pin-up girls selected for my collaboration with Goorin Bros. hat collection this year, she hosts a website devoted to women living with chronic illnesses. Her story is truly an amazing one and I'm so proud to know her and share her story with you. To read and purchase a physical copy of Vintage Life, click here. For digital, click here. I have more gorgeous new photos to share with you soon, so stay tuned! xoxo Kelly

Black and White Inspiration

Sometimes I find beauty in simplicity. Isn't it nice to go back to the basics once in a while? Just like the little black dress, this classic number makes a bold statement that never goes out of style. Elegant. Timeless. Iconic. Thanks for stopping by and contact me to talk about your summer pin-ups! xoxo Kelly

Happy St. Paddy's Day!

Who's better than a red-hot redhead to inspire your St. Paddy's Day? Christina Hendricks, watch out! This lovely gal is wearing a pastel pink Frederick's corset, bringing out her gorgeous strawberry-blonde locks, while the satin and black lace adds a bit of vintage flair! With a pose that accentuates her sexy curves, this image is one of my favorites and gives a dramatic, timeless appeal. See more images from the session on my Facebook Page. Thanks for stopping by and hope everyone has a super inspired St. Pattie's Day! More Spring/Summer inspirations coming soon! xoxo Kelly

Midnight in Paris

What would you be wearing on a rendezvous in Paris with your sweetheart? I let the City of Lights inspire me to think of some pretty little things I'd be packing and maybe also pick up in a fancy little boutique like Princess Tam Tam. Oui? Also, we have an opening on Sat Jan 21st for Valentine's sessions at this special rate! See it here. Let us bring out the sexy Parisian in you! Happy Friday 13th! xoxo Kelly

Into the Jungle

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

A Modern Presentation with a Vintage Touch

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
