Garage Girl goes Pin Up

Garage Girl goes Pin Up

She's a true garage girl. Her and her husband own a great shop in downtown Port Huron.
She’s also the beautiful girl next door- there’s not that awkward moment of feeling like you have to get to know her for ages, I instantly adored her.
And now she’s adding Pin Up to the list.

The studio held a pin up event with an old retro chevy truck- something we haven’t done in 3 years. Well, when you own a shop, your husband is a grease monkey, and there’s a sweet old truck up for grabs- you go for it!

Jackie called and we met. Again- I adored her. Her personality is huge, one that once it’s gone, you kind of feel a little let down for the rest of the day. haha She told me about her life, her family, and how well this tied in with them. She was pretty adamant she didn’t want to go outside of her comfort box or transform in to someone she wasn’t for the sake of the shoot, she wanted to stay true to who she was during it all. I like girls like that.

When it came to the shoot my first reaction is to have girls get in that fierce mode, giving me that powerful serious face that transmits in to confidence and sexiness but I couldn’t do that with Jackie. It’s not that she couldn’t pull it off, because she could, and she did, but.. it didn’t feel right, it didn’t feel like her. She had to be smiling. That was her. THAT was HER confidence and her sexy side, no need to try and pull it out of somewhere else.

The best part of the session was how much we laughed when we did ask her to be serious. It was almost impossible, which is awesome. But we nailed it, and her hubby got a pretty fabulous Christmas gift out of the deal.  Don’t you agree?

The flawless pin up

Pin Up girls. Poster girls. When you think of them you think- the ultimate woman, perfect, adorable, sexy but classy. Flawless.I can picture the posters lined up over the soldier's bed and the girls with their cute expressions and their adorable outfits. Most were hand drawn based off real photos from back in the day. Because they were drawn though, it was easy to be flawless, you just sketch it in!
It’s not every day that a real girl walks in to my studio and is literally flawless, but I think Alyssa just might be.
Photoshop is nowhere near responsible for this beautiful skin you see, and yes these really are photographs. Yes, she has makeup on, but it still doesn’t matter. And the outfits! Look how adorable she is. They just reinstate I’m right. She’s flawless. Ok, so maybe she did have a few little scratches from her new baby kitty we had to get rid of, but that was just bad timing! 
Don’t hate her for it though! You HAVE to see how AMAZING she did when she came to our Retro Truck Pin Up event!
We hooked all the girls up with professional hair and makeup that morning too, so cat eyes, a red lip, and victory rolls were a must- which I LOVE. It’s such a gorgeous look. It’s fun, it’s out of the box, and it forces you to rely on yourself and your personality to be sexy instead of your body.
But… if you have a fabulous body as well, then… aren’t you just lucky. Again- flawless, right?
Take a look!

2015 recap

Two Thousand Fifteen. 
Where do I begin?

Port Huron Photographer- Family, Boudoir, Weddings
 

All these beautiful, unique, life changing squares before me. 

My gosh. Every single one holds a face that has made me in to the artist, photographer, and person I am at this very moment, after another full long year of connecting with people through squares and rectangles that define who they are in just 1 moment of time.

   The beginning of 2015 started out with snow, love, pin ups, and models. I got to photograph people in the first few months of this year that would become friends of mine, have babies, get married, go on to be successful in their careers, win awards… Every person in those first squares are so much more than faces to me when I look back.

   At the very beginning of March my husband, Jake, and I went to Las Vegas for the biggest Photo Expo in, possibly, the world, WPPI. On the plain ride home I exploded a small notebook with ideas, inspiration, things I wanted to change, and ideas I wanted to create. That’s when The Revolution was born.

   Around May I took about 1 1/2 months off of work. I go through phases with my art, like we all do in life, but at that point I had realized that, if I didn’t make a change NOW I wasn’t going to be able to make that HUGE jump in to the art that I've always been drawn to, that really makes me happy and keeps me feeling alive. I had to make a cut in the timeline, so I disappeared for a bit. 

   You will see a lot of little squares that are of me this year. It’s not because I love myself that much but I find that inverting inwards helps me understand situations better. Sometimes I find messages to myself in my work before I’m even fully aware there’s a message to be found. Through my self-portraits I pushed past what I was comfortable with, what I thought I knew, and started over. I let go of what was holding me back and pushed towards what made me happy. I found myself outside more, exploring more, and having a better understand of what actually made me happy when it came to creating for others. 

   From that time The Pillow and The Pond and Floating through the Veil was born, as was another piece I am still waiting to release. 

   After that the squares starts to shift back to everyone else. The people who keep my art alive- you.
We did so many gorgeous seniors, hot bridal boudoir, families, even a few babes! We got to experience being with hundreds of people for weddings, big commercial shoots, I even climbed 100 feet up in to a giant Michigan Sequoia to get some shots of climbers. You rolled around in leaves, climbed up and down hills with us, got sassy with an old retro truck, sun gazed, and threw around flour. You laid in ponds, jumped on trampolines in sweaty haunted buildings, and stuck antlers in your hair.

   You made 2015 beautiful, truly, unremarkably beautiful. And I thank you for that. Over and over and over again.

   Here’s to another years of beauty, stories, and fairytales brought to life.
