Miss May | An Ode to Marilyn Monroe

Oh my goodness, this blog is FINALLY here! Ever since we did this shoot in early May I have been slowly bursting at the seems, waiting to share all these images on the blog. We had an absolute blast doing this shoot, like for real – not even kidding, one of the funnest shoots that Landa and I have done to date. We literally spent a few hours just laughing and playing around – googling every pose and image we could think of that had to do with Marilyn Monroe and once we found one that was do-able … well, we did it! Then we made some up of our own and just RAN with the idea of classic pin-up.

Some of the images couldn’t be posted on Facebook because I’d get reported (boo!), but since this is my site and my party and I make the rules, I get to share them all on here. Eeek! So excited right now!

Before I bid you adieu, let me first thank my amazing model, Missy Pressley … I am so bummed she is leaving us here in Colorado. She’s an amazing PHOTOGRAPHER and also an awesome PROP MAKER for photographers … and just a kind, sweet, loving, WONDERFUL human being. And drop-dead gorgeous, obviously.

Let me also profusely thank TIMELESS ELEGANCE BOUTIQUE, located in Old Colorado City, for allowing us to use some of the beautiful vintage/retro dresses for this shoot. If you’ve been looking for a place to shop for pin-up clothing, go check them out!! And tell them you saw them here at The Secret Pin-Up.

And finally, I’d like to thank my mahhhvelous hair and makeup artist, Landa Chavez, for absolutely NAILING this shoot’s look with our model. You blow me away, my dear.

 

Ok ok, enough writing … time to post the beautiful images! Please be warned, there is slight nudity in a couple shots.:)ENJOY and let me know what you think!!!

Miss Sonia | Colorado Springs Boudoir

I was so excited for Miss Sonia to FINALLY come into the studio! She had set her appointment for a few months ahead of time, and when we finally had her session in early May :: it was TOTALLY worth the wait. Miss Sonia is such an exquisite and kind-hearted person, this shoot was TOTALLY out of her box … so we had a lot of fun with it! Tried a bunch of new poses and angles, and I am so pleased with how they turned out. Take a look at some of her images! I’m totally blown away. <3
