You can be a Pinup Girl for a day!

In March I had a pin-up photo shoot that was set up and it had to be one of my favorites. It was very classic and I had to share it with you. My clients name was Alexis. She came into my studio with her whole house literally. She brought vintage clothing and jewelry from her grandmothers collection which included a few pictures of her grammy from back when her grammy was a pinup girl.She had beach stuff, furniture, kitchenware etc..LOL. Her grammy was her inspiration to do this shoot.
Alexis wanted to be transformed into a retro pinup and she also wanted to preserve the memory that her hair had been colored platinum blonde, she is typically a brunette.
As we set everything up and began to get Alexis ready for her shoot the excitement for all of us grew. As we were creating the first look I knew my camera was going to capture the ultimate pin up girl.

Here is a picture of Alexis before her hair cut/color and her photo shoot that she set up with us.

Here was the first look it was a retro inspired swimsuit.

Here is her second outfit she was creating the 1940′s Leave it to beaver house wife.

Now we got her ready for her 2nd hair and makeup look, Alexis wanted to pay tribute to Rosie the Riveter. We added a little different background for her set, we decided to add an american flag in some of her photos as the background.

For the last look Alexis wanted to do the classic 1950′s glamourous starlet.

Alexis did a great job shooting with us, she really embodied the reminiscent past of the 40′ and 50′s.

Sexy Maternity for Couples by Pussycat Pinups

On August 6th, I had the chance to work with a couple that had so much love between them that anyone watching them would be envious!  As soon as they walked in my studio door I knew I was going to take some smokin pictures.  The mommy to be’s name was Betty she was glowing with joy but had a ton of hilarious sarcasm along with her joy of being blessed with another little one on the way.. i loved it!

Her hubby stood in the door at first to make sure she was comfortable and to and to see who they would be working with. I think we reassured him she would be taken care of.  He seemed pretty pleased with their decision to come to us.  Her hubby stepped out the door to get some work done while me made his pretty wife up to be the sexiest mommy he has ever seen.  Betty had a few ideas about what she wanted, but she pretty much left it up to me on how we would shoot her.  The photoshoot was mainly focused on Betty and her sexy belly.

Most of the time while we were shooting Betty, her hubby came in making sexy comments and gestures towards her which i thought was awesome because all women should be made to feel sexy while they are pregnant.  They just giggled back and forth with their comments.  I really think he wanted to take her at that moment it was pretty incredible how much he wanted his wife.  We did have her man come into the last part of the maternity photoshoot and again the sparks were flying… That is what makes for a good couples maternity photoshoot people!

Here are some pictures from her shoot.

How to plan a boudoir Photo Shoot?
Boudoir Photography is a very popular trend in 2010. Women are taking sexy, lingerie pictures for their husbands, fiances, boyfriends and many times, just for themselves or they are taking them together as a couple!  Any photographer can call himself/ herself a boudoir photographer. If they have a camera, all of a sudden they are boudoir photographers. It is about the whole experience from start to end which makes them stand out in the sea of photographers out there.

  • The first thing to look for when finding a professional boudoir photographer is a strong portfolio of lingerie pictures. IF a photographer doesn’t have a portfolio of boudoir portraits, then they probably haven’t been taking boudoir pictures very long.
  • The second thing to look for is a professional boudoir photographer with referrals.
    If you do a google search for a photographer like Beth Cocuzzi, you will find many forums and social networking sites where her clients brag about their boudoir portraits. If you don’t find anything when searching a boudoir photographers name, then that means they havent been around very long. You may find links to different types of photography like wedding photography or family portraits, those definitely aren’t the photographers you want to use for a boudoir photo shoot.
  • Once you have found a professional boudoir photographer, you will want to find out if they have a studio or if they work out of their home. Beth Cocuzzi, withPussycat Pinups offer complete hair and makeup do meet their clients request. They specialize in retro glamor pinup hair and makeup, but can do bedroom eyes, maxim hair, 20’s, 30’s, 40’s,50’s and 60’s. Whatever their clients request, Beth Cocuzzi has the team to get the look her clients are seeking.

    Now you have found your photographer, before you book that boudoir shoot, you need to call him or her up and find out if they offer guidance during the shoot? Beth Cocuzzi is known for helping her girls with poses. IF they want the classic pin-up look, she can tell them how to do it and help them get the perfect pin up picture. If they are seeking seductive, lingerie looks, she tells them how to glance at the camera, just how to smile and when not to smile.

    What is the pricing?

    Each boudoir photographer will offer different packages. It is important to review every package and find out if they include prints? Do the boudoir photo packages include editing? Will the photographer provide you with the edited images on disk? How many ” looks” will the photographer shoot for that price? How many outfit changes? how many makeup and hair looks? These are all the details that generally make a boudoir photo shoot more expensive. But in general, a boudoir photo shoot will cost between $200 and $800 depending on how many prints and edited images you are seeking. Beth Cocuzzi will also customize a package for you. Just ask her any questions you have she is always helpful and wants you to have the best experience possible.
