Lady in Blue

Never judge a dress on it's hanger. That's my motto. I love it when clients bring in outfits that initially surprise me but end up photographing remarkably well for pin-ups. This lovely lady had a beautiful wrap dress but I wasn't sure at first how it would work with poses. Once she put it on, the royal blue just fit perfectly with her petite figure and it inspired us to do an "Elvgren" style shot. It ended up being one of my favorites! With the telephone and rose, it's such a classic! Let me know if you have an outfit you think would make a classic modern pin-up! And remember, never judge a dress until you try it on! 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
