Super Sexy Sets: Richmond Pin Up and Boudoir Photography,

*** Post edited 3-8-13 we no longer offer the Domestic Diva or Malt Shop sets. They did not make the move to the new location.

422 Studio is the studio in Richmond, VA to get unique, fun and sexy sets for your boudoir or pin up photography session. You won't get these types of sets anywhere else in town. You can use a single set or spice it up by adding additional sets to your session to make your album exclusive to your tastes. Our permanent sets are the ones that I keep set up throughout the year. I offer special "limited time" sets and am happy to work with you on a custom concept set.

Here are some of my favorite shots from the permanent sets.

The "Domestic Diva" vintage kitchen set is perfect for bringing out your inner domestic goddess.

We've also got the classic "Malt Shop" set. Sure to satisfy your sweetie!

The "Retro Living Room" is ideal for the mid century maven in you. 

Our "Modern Boudoir" set is excellent for your sensual lingerie photo session. 

We've also got a fantastic assortment of colored backdrops for a classic vintage cheesecake photography look. 

Contact me today to start your journey toward embracing your inner vixen.

I'm happy to talk with you about designing a custom set just for you.

What to wear what to wear??

What should I wear for my boudoir session? This is one thing that many of my clients initially stress about. My answer? Of course I'll tell you to pack like you're going on vacation, however, as with so many things in life, sometimes less is more. Sometimes just his shirt and tie say it all. This 50 Shades of Grey Boudoir theme is a perfect example of that. A simple grey tie and a mans shirt is all we really need to tell this story.

What story do you want to tell with your boudoir session?
Fathers Day is June 17th. Will you be giving him something he won't forget? Contact me today and you will be. Limited sessions remain available so get yours in time. ginger@422studio.com or call 804-833-0888.

A Night of Honky Tonk Angels

Last June I had the pleasure of working with a wonderful man named Dirk Laguna. You may know him as the man with the fabulous hair in GojiraX. He has organized an annual event here in Richmond, VA to help raise money for Breast Cancer research. It is called A Night of Honky Tonk Angels and it features many talented female honky tonk and rockabilly bands. Well he's doing it again this year and 422 Studio has been invited back to have fun with all of these amazing women. Mark your calendars for June 2 and head to the Canal Club in Richmond, VA to help support the Virginia Breast Cancer Foundation.  We all know everyone loves tatas and here at 422 Studio we love to support keeping tatas healthy. I do hope you're able to join us. This event is always a good time and it is such a good cause.

Some of the bands that will be rocking your socks off all night are:
Tammi Kamin Band
Molly Conley
Gina Dalmas
The Ones to Blame
April Mae and the June Bugs
With special guest Andrea Vaughan.

Retro Richmond Locations

I LOVE to shoot on location. I have had the pleasure of photographing at some of the most fun homes and locations in the Richmond, VA area. Of course I'm always looking for exciting new places to shoot at. Gotta keep producing fresh new images for my clients. This year I'm reaching out to all of you in the know Richmonder's to find out what you all think are the best of the best Retro locations in Richmond. If you know of or own a retro home, office/lounge, bar, diner, car shop, barber shop or the like drop me a line. I'd love to come scout your place as a possible location for future Pin Up, or Boudoir, photo sessions.

I am also looking for a pool to do an early summer session at. The pool doesn't have to be retro but that would be a bonus, as would a diving board. It just needs to offer us enough privacy to work in peace. You know that ladies all dolled up in retro bathing suits would cause the neighbors to peek over the fence for sure.

As always vehicle owners who want to allow us to use their vintage (pre-69 please) cars, trucks, tractors etc. I am always on the lookout for new (but old haha) cars for hot rod sessions. I'd love to shoot at a farm this year with a vintage tractor too. So if you've got the farm and the tractor then you've got one interested photographer here. 


So in a nutshell I'm looking for the following.

-- Cool Pool
-- Retro Tractor
-- Vintage Hot Rods
-- Classic Diner
-- Unique Bar
-- Fabulous Retro home (prefer Mid-Century)
-- One of a kind Hotel or Bed and Breakfast
-- Vintage Aircraft
-- Other sweet retro locations

So again if you know of any place that you think 422 Studio could rock out an amazing Retro Pin Up photo session, in or near Richmond VA then I'd love to see what you've got.

Also my team is well behaved and I'm insured!!! Not to mention we are simply fabulous company!

I'd love to hear from you!

Boudoir Party Richmond, VA

So here's a scenario for you to imagine. It's your 40th birthday. You've had every imaginable type of party. You want to do something completely unforgettable because, after all, you only turn 40 once.  But what is there to do that you haven't done 39 times already? 

Host a boudoir party! 

Yes you can do it! 

Yes you have friends and coworkers that want to do it. 

It's easy and fun and it's a great way to proclaim to the world 

"It's my birthday and by god this girl can still rock it!" 

In working with my clients I hear these statements all the time:

I'm getting older and I just don't feel sexy anymore. 

I USED to be pretty.

I USED to be stylish.

I USED to feel sexy.

Well guess what! You still are, you still can and I am here to help you remember how.

Odds are if you are feeling this way you have a few friends who are too. Lets get together and my team will show you ladies just how amazing you still are. 

These shots are from a recent boudoir party right here in Richmond, VA.

Our lovely hostess before and after shots

 I wish I had remembered to do all of their B/A but we were having so much fun I didn't get all of them.

 Want to host your own boudoir or pin up party? 

contact me at ginger@422studio.com or by calling 804-833-0888.

I shoot only a few parties each year so contact me today to set your date.

Boudoir parties are an excellent way to celebrate your milestone birthdays, bachelorette parties, girls night outs or just because you all want to create sexy pictures.

For this session makeup and hair were done by the always amazing Jennifer Mantura.

Let’s ring in the New Year baby!

This past year has been a blast. Business has been great and I have met some seriously amazing people. I know 2012 will be just as incredible, strike that, it’ll be better. With so much fun stuff on the horizon I’m feeling ridiculously excited about the coming year.   

2012 is a year for me to have some fun and explore new ideas with my work too. I’ve got a 12 in 12 plan. What’s that? One of my goals for 2012 is to do 12 themed sessions in 12 months all revolving around themes I want in my portfolio or things that I just love to shoot.  This is in addition to the classic sets you all know and love. Along with the 12 in 12 I’ll be offering Album sessions, calendar sessions and whole line up of hot new products that you are going to want for yourself. I’ve got so many new things in the works that it’s well worth checking back often just to see what I’m up to.

Since January out to be national boudoir month (in my opinion anyhow) and our boudoir albums are on the top of every guys list for sexiest gifts you can give, I introduce part 1 of my 12 in 12. January is Noir Boudoir month. This session features all the intensity of classic Hollywood Film Noir and a seductive blend of Modern Boudoir and is sure to please your Valentine. Stroll on in for a full hour photo session complete with 2 outfit changes. You can add hair and makeup styling to your session to complete the look. This set utilizes our classic boudoir set with some old Hollywood touches. This Valentine’s Day indulge in a Noir Boudoir session and give a gift that will really leave him wanting more.   

 

Want to do a classic pin up session instead?  you can use either the Domestic Diva set or the Malt Shop. Additional sets may be added for an additional fee.
