Thread: I did a Halloween Pin-up photoshoot today!

Tweet

EDIT: PHOTOS ARE ON PAGES 6 and 9

I've been planning and saving up for this since July and have been wanting to do it since high school. I finally did it today!

I did a three-look, pin-up photoshoot, entirely with Halloween themes!

This is the best picture I have of my make-up. It seemed like a bit much at first, but I think it's going to be awesome in the photos. The make-up artist told me I looked like vampire Queen Sophie Anne from True Blood when I was done! I told her it was just because I'm pale.. haha. But, geez. What an awesome compliment. My hair obviously looked a lot better five hours prior to taking these when I got home.



This is a snapshot of all the props I brought along in my car:



And these are a few of the vintage pin-ups I tried to recreate!


This was, 100%, the most important one. I have this in a big frame hanging in my bedroom. I absolutely love it.


Second most important! Betty Grable spook stories series. My boyfriend made an amazing replica of the "book", which you can see some of it in the props picture above.


I ended up not doing the balloon, because it was on a purple background and I had a tiny hat.. But I just really love this painting. I even made the little noisemaker she's using for a prop!


With this one, I used my childhood teddy bear. I'm excited to see how these turned out.


I also did some bobbing for apples poses. I was going for more of the Gil Elvgren pose, but I also did the second one.

I'm going back in about two weeks to see them and order all my stuff! I CAN'T WAIT! I'll post an update on how they turned out when I get them!

love it such a good job

I'm sure that they turned out fantastic!

My cousin is a photographer, and she does lots of shots similar to these styles, and other themes, too. I was supposed to model for her over the summer, but our schedules didn't coincide, so it looks like it will have to wait till next summer when we see each other again.

I hope you're going to post copies of the prints!

it looks great and your gorgeous!

I am sure they turned out great!

That is pretty much the coolest thing I have ever seen! I want to do that so bad!! Where/how did you find/choose a photographer for that? Can't wait to see how they turned out.

You look so pretty! I just love your make-up. What a cute idea to have Halloween pin-up photos taken... Can't wait to see your pix!

How absolutely awesome! Your makeup looks pretty darn good and I bet the pics turn out beautifully.

I love vintage pinups and I've been playing with the idea of getting professional photos too... just haven't gotten around to it. That is just so cool!
