Audrey Hepburn Recreation. Beautiful Ryleigh Marie. I paid attention to detail and she looked fabulous!
I have styled 2 other models in the infamous, " Breakfast at Tiffany's ", look. This is by far my best. This was my 1st time I styling a wig for this recreation. My favorite part of Old Hollywood recreations is the reaction my clients have! " It doesn't even look like me ", is totally awesome to hear! As a model I know the feeling of recreating or channeling an inner icon, a vintage starlet that I truly adore. That's what recreations are all about! Fun, laughter, happiness, getting dolled up and taking images. These images were edited to look vintage and old. Not modern photography or modern - day pinup. My personal taste.

My availability and photographers varies, so we begin with a date from you 1st. Then we plan and I prepare everything in detail, in advance. Once you book a shoot time is spent planning everything for you. Communication from day one is key! Anne Francis So let's talk about the package options and services to choose from. Rates vary depending on whether I photograph you or I book a photographer. You can choose from one, two or three looks. This means different sets of images. Can have hairstyle change for each look or only change outfits. Because I've been asked this enough times, I want to make this clear please. THERE IS NO OPTION TO NOT PAY, YET ATTEND! Whether you get one look or three. Whether you utilize wardrobe or bring your own. Whether I photograph you or an academy photographer. I do not set up shoots for free of charge nor trade, via my academy. Actual fees are from $40 to $200. Everything depends on how many looks. Every package option comes with the following,... 1. Vintage or pinup hairstyle 2. Use of vintage or pinup wardrobe 3. Posing instructions one on one 4. Behind the scenes images, video clips and unedited outtakes 5. Publication option 6. Edited images of each look, digital hairstyling collage 7. Promotion and digital tear sheet when published 8. Complimentary styling consultation 9. Complimentary lipstick 10. Product Shoot models get to keep the garment they model in Sophia Loren I highly encourage models brand new to pinup to research it as much as possible before booking a shoot or before the shoot date. I offer a complimentary styling consultation that can be done online or in person, for those who book solo shoots. Up to you if you use that option. Research the era's, starlet's or models and styles of the past. YouTube, Google, Wikipedia, Pinterest and Facebook, IG, Twitter etc. There's endless and valuable information out there 24 hours a day, for free if you have internet access. Research pinup magazines and those in the pinup industry who specialize in it. Research current pinups that you adore. Research.

Pinup posing charts, vintage and new pinup mags, pinup videos and more. I can tell when a gal brand new to pinup has researched and or practiced before a shoot. I can see a visible improvement when a gal brand new to pinup does a shoot then practices until the next. Take an hour a month, an hour a week, whatever you can spare and are willing to use your determination and tome to invest time in. It will show and will pay off. Rita Hayworth What era's and styles can you choose from? I can and have recreated many fabulous era's of the past. Models have the option to gain publication. The era's I style are: 1. Classic Cheesecake Pinup 2. Vintage Boudoir 3. Military Pinup 4. Old Hollywood Recreations 5. 1920's Flapper 6. 1960's Playboy Magazine Style 7. 1960's Vintage 8. 1950's and 1960's Glam 9. Rockabilly 10. Modern-day Pinup Within Cheesecake Pinup there are several different styles and era's. Themed shoots such as Valentine's Day, Summer, Halloween, Christmas, Military Pinup, Housewife and so much more. Every shoot comes with hairstyling or wig styling, use of wardrobe, a set with props or an outdoor location.

As well as poolside. Cheesecake Pinup and Rockabilly can be shot poolside. So can a housewife theme with grills and more. Vintage Boudoir. 2 options. Studio set up or hotel suite location. During Viva there are numerous hotel suite, boudoir shoots and my academy is usually involved in one or more, every year. These shoots cost more and are hosted by different photographers. They require a deposit to reserve a spot, no exceptions. Playboy Magazine style shoots are similar to vintage boudoir but on a more sexier level. Implied nudes, sheer vintage lingerie, topless. All tastefully done. Must be 21 or over. To attend any academy shoot you must be at least 18 or older. Audrey Hepburn What are the guidelines and rules and why I have them?
After almost 4 years of having academy group shoots and solo shoots I've compiled a list if do's and dont's. These are guidelines that I've found to help every single shoot run smoothly. These are things I feel are essential at must shoots no matter what styles and no matter who you work with or hire. I've had several positive experiences that have taught me as well as numerous negative experience, what works well. Please understand there may be exceptions however they must be communicated prior to your shoot date. All details, questions and requests must be made, arranged and agreed upon before your shoot, not during or after. 1. Please be on time. This means mapping your way to location before leaving the house and before day of shoot. Always plan ahead and consider traffic. Add time in to go get gas, breakfast, atm, etc. Every minute over 10 minutes late will go into and taje away your styling and shoot time. 2. Please show up prepared with makeup fully done before you arrive. Touch ups are added into your shoot time, not applying a full face of make up. If you want to book a professional mua, I know of a couple of fabulous ones. 3. Bring your own under garments. I rarely loan them out and I prefer not too. As a model, I foresee you needing the essential basics. So please consider investing in a few inexpensive under garments that can be used at countless shoots. 4. Nails painted or groomed. I prefer groomed and plain over chipped polish. But it's always best to have them painted for pinup or glam shoots. It will stand out in each image and takes just a few minutes. 5. No escorts or children. Now this is something I prefer as well as my academy photographers. Reasons being, the distraction and lack of focus and attention towards the shoot. I've actually never said, " no ", when someone made the request, however,.... I think rule of thumb here is escorts should never be involved directly in a shoot, never get in the way nor give direction. Your personal life is just that, personal. 6. Hair should be dry, clean and preferably straight. There's never an option to do your own hair. I style hair, wigs and pieces and it's included in every package. Have a certain style in mind? Please communicate that prior to shoot date. 7. Wardrobe use is offered but not required. You can use anything in the academy wardrobe room or bring your own. The choice is yours. Every time you change and shoot a look, whether you request a hairstyle change or not, that's an additional look. More edits. 8. Cancellations. I've tried to not require a deposit as I realize how many models are unable to pay it online prior to a shoot. But I've required a cancellation fee for a long time now. Reasons are obvious, wasted time preparing, communicating, planning and the time of the photographer. Can't ever replace you last minute. Unable to get all all that time back. If you have to cancel within 48 hours prior to a shoot you've booked, no matter what the reason, there's a small cancellation fee. No exceptions! 9. Always list credits when posting professional images from an academy shoot. Please do not tag me personally. Type in or tag the academy name. 10. Do not alter images from photographers. If you want something altered or additional please request it. |
