Be your own Pin up Dream!

 Back in December,  I was invited by my good friend Christine, to participate in my first ever Pin Up photo shoot,  with Shimona Henry of Pin-Up Perfection .  What an incredible experience it was!  


    I have never been confident in front of a camera,  especially in any "sexy" context.  I am the queen of carefully angled selfies,  but when someone else photographs me, I usually hate the results.  Even professionals.    Then I met Shimona!  I got my taste of pinup fabulousness and I am a believer. She is responsible for all the great pin-up photography in Vancouver.  She obviously has a monopoly on the market,  rightfully so.   She is quirky and funny, and puts you totally at ease.  You might get called a "Hussy" but it will feel so right.   She is full of energy and knows what she is doing.  It will go by fast and you will love the results.   She offers a wide range of packages on her site, and if you follow her facebook page, you will see she periodically offers really affordable packages to get a feel for what she does.  I am already planning my next shoot with her, with total excitement.

  Her packages usually consist of hair and makeup touch ups to full on makeovers with the talented Stella.   They have a room full of accessories, props, shoes and outfits.  They require to only bring your own stockings.  They play old timey jazz to get the mood started.   I got a hair touch up with Stella, but I had done my own makeup prior to the shoot.    The rest is easy,  you just teeter around in heels,  or roll around on the ground with Shimona's complete direction.  Then you wait,  you get a file emailed to you of proofs,  you select your images-  and next thing you know :
