Heya! I’m an L.A. photographer and I shoot a lot of Roller Derby bouts. In browsing around I found your pics of Erica. Now, in the world of Roller Derby, I see SO many poorly done attempts at pin-up… There are apparently a lot of photogs (mostly guys) out there who think if they put an “alternative-looking” chick in “sexy” clothing and shoot it with poor lighting it can pass for a pin-up.

So, that gives you an idea of how I feel about pin-up style photography; I’m a bit of a snob about it.

That being said:

Your work is SUPERB. You nailed every aspect from the lighting, to the choice of color, to the production design and costume to the retouching. My hat is truly off to you, this work is brilliant.

Just wanted to drop a line and let you know I appreciate your work, it truly made me stop and take a second look!

(And P.S. I grew up in Vista, not far from Escondido – North County Pride, baby!)

Vintage Pin-Up Calendar Girl Photography makes a comeback! San Diego Pin-Up Calendar Girl Photography

Over the past year we have been getting more and more calls from ladies looking to recreate that amazing look of the calendar girls from the 30’s and 40’s. This style is one we have been perfecting for over 15 years. The masters of the era Vargas, Petty,  have always been an inspirationton me. Back in the days of film I worked on this style, shooting in black and white and hand painting in the color, for that perfect vargas look! Today with  digital photography, I have been able to capture that look to perfection!

Every girl can rock that blast into the past and transform herself into a  classic retro vintage Pin-Up Kitten!Our studio has some great retro props to help create this look. We even have some fun outfits in our Shadow Boudoir closet that we love to share!

Give us a call today to find out more about how you can become a classic calendar girl! 760-533-6130

Valentines Day Maxim -Hersheys Style- San Diego Boudoir Photography

Earlier this week I had a really great session with DM. I was really excited about doing this session because she was looking for a mix of Maxim style photography and the something waaaay out of the box. I love that.. the creativity can totally flow on my end, and on this one.. so did the Hershey’s syrup!

So we started doing some classic Maxim style images…..

Doesn’t she look amazing!

And then we finished up the session with something more artistic and a bit edgier.. we covered her in Hershey’s syrup. This is going to be one super sweet treat for her guy on Valentines Day!

Ladies….. if you are considering a boudoir session as a special gift for anniversary, birthdays, a special grooms gift on the wedding day.. or just because you want to feel fantastic about your self, give us a call to schedule your session today, by the time you leave our studio you will be planning your next session with us ;o)

40’s retro Pin-up with a 50’s twist- San Diego Boudoir and Intimate Photography

This is a personal photo project I have been wanting to do for awhile, but finding the time and the right model took me awhile. But yesterday I was really excited to get to do this shoot with Erica. I had put out a casting call on a modeling site looking for a model that wanted to work with me on this, and was lucky to have Erica find me!

I love the retro 40’s Pin-ups, and always wondered why this style wasnt continued into the 50’s, things changed a lot then. So I though it would be fun to try and create that look.After that we did a couple of Valentines Boudoir shots for her sweetie ;o)

San Diego Boudoir- Glamour- and Vintage Pin-up Photography.

Shadow Boudoir is not just all about Boudoir and Pin-Up images……

we are all about capturing just that look you are going for, and making sure you have an amazing time while doing it! Whether it is just a fun session with your mom or BFF, or just you being a Super model for the day! Invest in yourself, and come away with a feeling like no other….. the pictures are just the icing on the cake!
Yesterday I had the pleasure of working with Darcy and her Mom Linda. I met them at Studio 158 in the morning to introduce myself and then they went off with the stylists for complete hair and makeup while I went over to the studio to set up.
These ladies wanted to do a fun Mom daughter session together, and then Darcy who is working on her modeling portfolio did a few shots for that, and then we finished up with some fun Pin-up poses.
Here are a few of my favorites from their session…..

The dress Linda is wearing was stunning. It belonged to her Mom and is an authentic 1940’s design. Darcy’s is a Betty Paige design that she got in Vegas.

One thing they told me before the session is that they really wanted to do some fun poses together.. this one is one of my very favorites ;o)

We finished off the session with a little retro Pin-Up sesh for Darcy….

Thanks Darcy and Linda! It was so much fun working with you both!
