    Kelli: A Pin-up Model in the Works?

    I've got to catch up on quite a few blog posts. Forgive me--I've been working on updating the new website. More on that coming soon...but for now, someone very special: Kelli!

    Poor Kelli had quite a time trying to get to her Pin-up & Boudoir Session.

    1st Mishap: She went to a salon to get her hair done. The salon appointment ended up running overtime. She had to give me a call to tell me she was going to be a little late.

    2nd Mishap: As she was getting ready to pay the stylist, she realized she didn't have her ATM card with her. She soon discovered she left her card in the ATM machine she visited earlier that morning. Panic and phone calls to the bank ensued. Thankfully, her husband had enough cash on him to pay the stylist.

    3rd Mishap: Even though the stylist was payed, Kelli HATED what was done to her hair. It looked like crap. Because she looked like crap, Kelli began to cry. Thus, she began to ruin her makeup. She then called to tell me that she had no money, no checks, no ATM card, she looked like a mess, and she was apologizing for be so late (it had been over an hour). I reassured her that there was still time to do her session, we could repair her hair and makeup, and she could pay her final balance the day after her session. She complied.

    4th Mishap: She called back 15 minutes later to say that she decided not to come. She was wrecked physically and emotionally. To top it off, she was heading to the wrong address anyways.

    Well after all that, I think Kelli had enough material to qualify for her own reality show! Her husband told her he felt like he was with a bride on her wedding day. Tee Hee.

    We ended up rescheduling for the following week. This time, Kelli did her own hair and things went a lot smoother. In fact, she rocked it out.

    Photo #1: The Leg Lift. Kelli is thinking about pursuing a part-time career as a Pin-up model. After this shoot, I think she proved she can definitely do it.


    Photo #2: "Charlie's Angel." Question: What's super hot about this image? Answer: Her hubby might use it as a tattoo. He'll have his own personal Pin-up girl on his arm at all times...that's hot!



    Photo #3: "Cutsie."




    Photo #4: "Sugar-Coated." With a cherry on top. What I loved about Kelli, was her fabulous ease into all the difficult Pin-up styled poses. You can tell SOMEBODY's been practicing in front of the mirror!! ;)




    Photo #5 : "Oh My!" This is one of my favs cuz of her beautiful ghostly blue eyes.


    Photo #6: "Green with Envy." Strikingly gorgeous!
