Pin Up Nicole
I recently had the pleasure of working with a ridiculously fun model, Nicole, on a retro pin up shoot.
It’s funny how some shoots I walk away from shaking my head and praying for some decent results, and then others I freak out of the way home about how much space it’s going to eat up on my hard drive. This shoot falls into the latter category.
Nicole was so easy to work with and everyone involved was relaxed and up for a laugh. We were working outside after some heavy rain which ruled out many of the ‘usual’ pin up poses which require getting down on the ground, but the energy of the shoot was such fun we hardly noticed the restriction.
It’s been a while since I’ve shot anything in this genre, but there is something about the ridiculousness and humor of it which I really genuinely love.
Here are a few more images from the shoot:
There’s a handful more over here if you’re interested.

She has a Fantastic smile! Contagious in all the best ways. The first image is my fave, as it shows how “into it” you get. Nothing cooler than a passionate artist.
Great work, Sweetpea! xox
