Summer lovin

All the summer work and fun has taken a toll on my blog frequency. Sorry about that! Today's is just a quick post. Lots in the works though so I'll be posting more frequently as summer draws to a close. Hope you've all be having a fantastic summer thus far.

And now for pictures.

These are from a recent Elvira themed beauty session.

 Hey Richmond, VA It's not to early to start thinking about booking your boudoir or pin up session for holiday gift giving. September has limited openings already and my cut off for albums in time for Christmas is earlier this year than it has been in past years. Book early to be sure to get the most product options from your session.

Boudoir Photography in Richmond, VA

Hello everyone! These last few weeks have been crazy busy. I've been getting the family ready for summer vacation to begin and working my tail off so I can take a couple of weeks off this summer. Busy is good though! It just means I didn't get to keep up with the blog last week. I hope you missed me!

I've got a super sexy boudoir blog for you today. This lovely lady has been to see me several times over the last couple of years. I always have a fabulous time working with her. It's nice to see my clients come back year after year. She was one of my very first pin up clients and this time we got to go in a completely different direction and did a seriously sexy boudoir session. She had also just wrapped up an amazing full back tattoo and we just had to include it in the shots. It's so beautiful and so is she.

Beware! Hot Stuff ahead!

 

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.

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

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!
