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

Gentlemen Prefer Reds :-)

This month seemed to pass in a blink of an eye...I guess because I've been having loads of fun photographing some really gorgeous redheads in August! So it gives me great pleasure to share with you this recent picture of a lovely gal with the sweetest personality to match. I love this outfit she styled herself with the sweater and the little pop of leopard. How charming is this? Well, I hate to say goodbye to August but I know we're all looking forward to a much needed Labor Day weekend! So wishing you all a fabulous jet-set adventure wherever you go! Or if you're like me, I'll be relaxing at home with the family, a glass of wine or two, some BBQ and catching up on summer reading. Truman Capote has been on list and I'm absolutely infatuated with Breakfast at Tiffany's...So hope you enjoy yourselves and see you in September! 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

Sneak Peek into the Modern Black Book...

Happy Friday! Here's delicious little glimpse into The Modern Black Book, a simply gorgeous album (and my most popular item!) from my studio. Sleek and luxurious, this fine art book showcases your boudoir images at their very best. Offering full centerfold-style pages, it's guaranteed to impress...and stop a few hearts! Now that we're gearing for fall (I know, I know, did you see the new fashion collections out already?) it's only a hop, skip and jump away from the holidays. Remember, albums take a little extra time to beautifully craft so it's best to book at least two months in advance. So take a sneak peek and start thinking about some possible gifting ideas- either for yourself or your dearly beloved. Also great for birthdays, anniversaries or a personalized groom's gift! Hopefully you'll get inspired to create your own stunning visual memoir. And who doesn't deserve their gorgeousness captured in timeless photos? You certainly do! :) xoxo Kelly
