Studio Betties Presents: Kustom Kittens - Heels + Hot Rods Pinup Mini Sessions | Saint Paul + Minneapolis Pinup Photographer

Last week, a friend of mine (the lovely Dagmar Dee) and I ventured out to Ham Lake to visit Route 65 Classics. We had the pleasure of shooting with the most beautiful, cherry-red 57' Chevy, compliments of one of their employees and we both swooned over it's lines and the perfect shade of red (we're both classic car junkies). We had so much fun!

Want to get in on this fun? We're having a Pinup Mini Session Marathon on Saturday August 17, 2013. There are only 3 slots left so book now before they are gone! Email Jenn at jenn@studiobetties.com to get in on the Hot Rod action!

Miss Gina - Part 1: Minnesota State Fair Inspired Pinup | Minneapolis and Saint Paul Minnesota Pinup Photographer

If you're a Minnesotan at heart, you know all about how epic the Minnesota State Fair is. We look forward to "The Great Minnesota Get-Together" all year round, making lists of the must-see attractions (Butter Heads and Giant Slide, anyone?) and the must-eat foods. We're known for putting just about anything on a stick!

Gina came in with the idea of paying homage to this summer event and we knocked it out of the park!

Everyone loves a Summer Pinup Sale!

Hello lovlies!  Summer is (sort of) upon us and despite the repetitive rainy days we've been experiencing here in MN, that doesn't dampen our spirits!  We're full steam ahead with some really fun projects!!  One of those projects is the addition of an office and dressing room at our studio!  It's going to be quite a fun summer!

So, we want to include you in the celebration with our "Last Chance" sale on our Pinup Mini Sessions!  

After the end of the summer, we'll be shifting the pricing and right now is the best time to take advantage of the

current mini session price of $99!

Here are the details:

Giant Feather Fans | Wednesday Wishlist

One of my favorite burlesque acts, performed by Nicky Ninedoors, is a magnificent fan dance combined with her singing live, accompanied by Brother Keys on the piano. Hauntingly beautiful and ridiculously talented, the duet performed at the Midwest Burlesque Festival this past January.

The fans she used during her performance were made by the delicious Catherine D'lish and I've got a little fund started for a custom set from her!

I found this amazing image of Nicky (Photo by Shimona Henry, custom feather fans made by Catherine D'lish) on the blog of Pandora and The Locksmiths.  Just confirms that I really do need a set of these magnificent fans in my arsenal!!  Can you imagine the sheer awesomeness of the showgirl photos I could create with these beauties?

Who wants to be the first one to be photographed with these when they arrive at the door of my St. Paul studio?? Tee hee!!
