Boudoir

Here's one of my favorite Boudoir portraits taken recently. With a more dramatic and moodier feel, I love black and white images that make beauty timeless. Kinda reminds me of an Estee Lauder ad, you know? Beautiful... Enjoy! xoxo Kelly

The Girl Next Door...and Winner of the Pin-Up Giveaway!

Earlier this year when my Facebook Page hit over 1000+ fans, I was so thrilled I offered a free Pin-Up session through a random drawing. Featured here is the lucky winner Linda! We did her photo session this week and here is a sneak peek at one of her gorgeous pin-ups! I'm so impressed by her natural "Girl Next Door" good looks and fantastically fit figure. Linda is an avid soccer player and you can see where she gets those killer legs! Her adorable outfit is from Pin-Up Girl Clothing, and aren't those just the cutest shoes? What are some of your favorite pin-up poses and outfits? I'd love to hear from you! Find me on Twitter and also check out my Pinterest boards for more inspiration. Remember, pin-ups are a way to celebrate you! Hope to see you soon! Congrats again Linda, on your amazing pin-ups! xoxo Kelly

Vintage Glamour

I had the pleasure of photographing a remarkable lady recently, a dear friend and vintage aficionado. I first met Lottie when she interviewed me in early 2011 for her blog about vintage inspirations. I was immediately enamored by her grace and style, her charming British mannerisms, and kind, gentle spirit. When she told me she was the winning bidder for a photo session I donated this year to a local school auction, we were both so excited for that day to come. Alas, that day has arrived and here are a couple "sneak peeks" from our fabulously fun session! Nicki, a friend of Lottie's, did her exquisite hair & make-up styling. The gorgeous lingerie set Lottie is wearing, (a gift from hubby) is from What Katie Did. Shouldn't all husbands gift something lovely like this? So here's to celebrating a wonderful and beautiful person, mother, talented writer and creative spirit. I'm delighted to finally return a blog post about you! I'll be posting more pics from our session on my Facebook Page so stay tuned for more... Thanks for stopping by! xoxo Kelly

Hello September...

Though Labor Day may officially mark the end of summer, I'm grateful that here in CA, we get a little prolonged sunlight and warmth, the pleasure of enjoying a few more evening dinners outside, and maybe even some extra beach time...What we call an "Indian summer". So just before the fall leaves start flittering by, here's a lovely pin-up to commemorate the last days of summer...for just a little while longer. :-) Enjoy! xoxo Kelly

A Classic Vargas Style Pin-Up

Happy Friday! I just love the idea of a modern girl with a classic take on pin-ups. This lovely lady happens to be not only a gorgeous red but a working mom as well! So here's a portrait of her in the gorgeous style of Vargas. Being a mom can only make a person so much more beautiful I think! For more modern Pin-Up inspiration, check out  the Vanities Girls. I love this series because Pin-ups should truly be a work of art. If this is something you like too, shoot me a message and let's talk! Enjoy! xoxo Kelly
