New De-Luxe Pinup Image

It's been a long time in the making and finally after hundreds of hours in both pre-production and post-production my homage to Elvgren's "Air Conditioned" is finsihed! This image has always been one of my favorite pinups.

My amazing team and I worked hard to recreate the image and our model, Rachel was an absolute angel during the shoot. Her patience was amazing as her skirt was not only stuffed with paper but was also being blown up with a huge fan. She stood in the same pose barely able to move let alone breath for well over an hour so we could make all the little adjustments needed. What a perfect pinup model she is - we love you Rachel!

Many of my clients are interested in posing in elaborate scenes like the one pictured here. I really enjoy these elaborate photo shoots but please keep in mind that these De-Luxe Pinups have different rates then my normal package prices due to their elaborate nature. If you are interested in a De-Luxe Pinup Package please contact me to discuss your ideas and pricing.

New Feature Article On My Pinups!!!!

Editor Kristin Munro of aroundphilly.com recently spent the afternoon at my studio posing as a pinup. She enjoyed her experience so much that she wrote a great article on why she suggests giving the gift of a custom vintage pinup portrait to yourself or a loved one. Read the feature 31 Days of Gifts:Say Cheese.

2008 Pinup Update

2008 has been a very exciting and very busy year at my studio!

So far this year over 250 clients have booked pinup photo sessions and have enjoyed their unique and fun experience being transformed into vintage beauties.

In between photographing clients, I did find time to take several special "high concept" pinup photos for my portfolio which I will be adding to the website in the next month - so keep checking back! These photos were months in the making and are inspired by some of my favorite classic pinup illustrations. A few of these new images will also be featured in a soon to be released book "For The Boys:Pinups For The Troops." The book should be available for purchase in November so ordering details will be posted here on my blog as soon as it is published.

Vimby.com featured an amazing documentary on my pinup work which was chosen to be shown during the Digital Film and Video Festival in Cannes, France and the Editor of Philadelphia Maven Magazine, Michelle Denton, wrote about her day as a pinup for a feature article on the magazine's website.

In addition to all this I also recently tied the knot with my guy, Dave!

Life couldn't be better and I am eternally grateful that every day I get to wake up and look forward to "going to work!"
I love being a pinup photographer and having the opportunity to meet so many amazing women.
It is because of all the positive feedback that I receive from clients and from fans of pinup art that I continue to do what I do.

Thanks to all of you for your continued support and keep checking back for my new pinup images which will be added to the galleries soon!

xoxo,
Celeste

I am currently scheduling all sessions into January 2009 so if you would like to pose as a pinup in time for Valentine's Day then definitely plan ahead and book a session soon!

Available dates will book extremely fast as the pinups are very, very popular Valentine Day presents!

IMPORTANT INFO FOR ALL CLIENTS REGARDING HOLIDAY PRINT ORDERS!!!

If you are a client who has posed or will pose for a pinup session on or before Sept. 30, 2008 I will need to receive your print order no later then October 25th in order to guarantee your prints will arrive in time for the holidays.
For clients posing in October this deadline does not apply to you as you will receive a different print order deadline date upon receiving your proofs.
