Mary and I love having photo sessions. We love pin-up pics of others, but don't try to take sexy pics of ourselves (we'll probably have a winter coat session when the season is right). We do try to take old-fashioned, glamourous, vintage portfolio type of pics. The other day our theme was "By The Seaside":
We had a lot of fun, and hope you other gals will post photo sessions / vintage portfolios of yourselves! We need inspiration. We like the fact that this thread is in the Powder Room. No need to be shy, reach for the stars!

And mine!
Next time I'll be sure to curl my hair and make a very stiff hairdo-helmet. Then I won't look like a troll or chew on my hair at all!

I love modeling or doing hair for photoshoots. For me,it's about the clothes and setting a scene or exploring the vampier side of my personality that I don't let out that often. Think Vintage Vogue with a hint of sex appeal thrown in. I'm not sure that I'd classify myself as a Pinup.
I love getting into a character,wearing wigs and piling on the makeup. It's a transformation that's for sure. In everyday life you would walk right by me.
I think I'm more girl-next-door cute than glamour queen on a daily basis.
Everyday merepeat,most recent I have)
(The unrecognizable transformations):
These are repeats from "The Ladies of the Fedora Lounge" thread,but I thought it might give the new ladies some ideas and would be appropriate for this thread.
Enjoy!

These are fantastic! I love that the photography has both the feel of a Pinup while still looking caught in the moment. Somehow,both carefree and glamorous.

Thank you ladies for your generous compliments! It means even more coming from you, since I admire you all and value your opinions highly. (The only opinion I value higher is that of an 85 year-old lady .) I think it's easier to pose "naturally" when your close friend is behind the camera, you trust her and don't feel self-conscious. I imagine it's the same feeling you'd get with a really good photographer.
rubyredlocks, all I can say is GORGEOUS! Those are the kind of beautifully detailed photos you want to study for a long time. I loved hearing the thoughts behind the pics too! More of that, please!

Thanks!
It really is fun to take photos that turn out good. I used to be camerashy and get a very stiff cameralook on most photographs so these are great!
RubyRedlocks. I really like to hear more of your thoughts about your photos. It's very interesting. They are quite an inspiration. How do you come up with ideas. What do you want to do next?
For these photos I mostly wanted them to be summery snapshots of me where I look like me and not a model. We did one session before with a more posed 50's feeling that were a lot vampier.
It's fun to take photos too. To try to find angels and make sure the light's in the face and try to keep a horizon horizental. If you have tips on what to think of, please post them!

Cherry lips and Mary, you both look smashing!
Cherry lips, you remind me of the actress Bodil Kjer. Here's what she looked like:
Very cute pics. Where were they taken? I read in some brochure that there's a white painted bathing hotel from the 1920s in Malmö, but I've forgotten the name of it. I'd love to see it sometime.

ShrinkingViolet, you're right, cherry lips looks a lot like Bodil Kjer! You should post it in the If you said you looked like one celebrity from the Golden Era...-thread.

Haha how fun! I can see the resemblance in the first pic. Is she very famous in Denmark? What was she famous for (what was her image in the 40s: sexy, smart, fatale, wholesome, voice, elegant, girl-next-door, etc)? What's your favorite film with her? I'd like to see one.
Hmm.. I haven't heard of that hotel, but I'll ask Mary about it. It sounds like something we should visit! The pics were taken by one of the many boardwalks on Malmö beach.

Shringking Violet, you must refer to Kallbadhuset. I think we have it in the background on some of the photos, but not of these that are shown here.
It's not white but mintgreen and white. Very beautiful. This is the homepage:
http://www.ribban.com/ if you want to see for yourself. Unfortunately you can't take photos there cause it's nudist bathing. Hmm maybe you could take some in the crowded café..
