Vintage Girl Studios had the pleasure of attending the New England Shake Up this fall. It was a great time for Music, Cars and Shopping. The First Rockabilly weekender took place at the Sturbridge Host Hotel.

We had such a great time working with some lovely ladies and two collaboration with talented designers.

This Summer we attended  Milltown Car Show also in Sturbridge, MA.  Many people don’t realize that some of these shows have wonderful vendor’s that sell handmade jewelery, Vintage Clothing, and Styling services.
From time to time there are a Pin-up contest.
Check out our  Facebook page for images from Milltown and some of the wonderful  Vendors that will also be at the Shake-up.

Two weeks ago we had the pleasure of attending Full Speed Ahead 2013 on the USS Salem in Quincy, MA. The weather was perfect. I was a bit busier this year photographing some amazing women that I had met in the past few months.  These creative sessions give me  the artistic inspiration to bring in to the studio and to share with my amazing clients.

To view this session check out our Facebook Page.

Although Vintage Girl Studios mostly specializes in Vintage Recreation Portraiture and Pin-up photography. We love to have fun in the studio with our clients who have their own concepts. We love working with you to achieve that dream of being that girl even if it for only for a day. We all deserve it.

We had such inspiring Wonder Woman session with Little Queenie this year.  Check out our FaceBook Page to see more images.

Vintage Girl Studios supports local car shows in our area. Here are a few events this summer if you would love to see classic cars as much as we do.

We have been so busy in the studio this year with group sessions and bachelorette parties. These larger sessions is a great way really bond with your girl friends.

Vintage Girl Studios takes a real hand on approach to these sessions by open communication through consultations, email, and phone calls with each guest before the date of the session.  We understand that  some guest may have some anxiety of being photographed and we do take that into consideration. Most of our clients really have never had worked with a professional photographer since they were a high school Senior or their wedding. Some guest may not know other guest as well (For example: Sister of the groom may not know the Bride’s college or work friends). We take all these concerns when there is a party at our studio.

Our day starts with your party arriving at the studio located in the Sayles Mill Photo Collaborative in Lincoln, RI. We then come up with a game plan of wardrobe for each guest. Each guest will have their Vintage make over and then proceed to the photo room when they will be working one on one with our photographer. At the end our all the guest sessions we will be doing group photos.

Group packages start at $150 per guest. We can accommodate up 20 guests. We can even custom design a package for your party. Call the studio for more information 617.504.9087

Watch Behind the scenes.

We have been so busy in the studio we have realized that spring has sprung!

The collaboration between My Méz and Vintage Girl Studios will allow patrons the unique opportunity to own a custom-crafted Méz table topped with their original pin-up images taken by Vintage Girl Studios. Based in RI, My Méz is redefining the way we think of art and furniture; these locally-made tables combine style with functionality as they can also be hung as artwork. Patrons can select their photos, stain, and table size. Vintage Girl Studios has designed a special session which would include this truly special one of a kind work of art. Call the studio for more information on these custom sessions

During the preparation for this event VGS has had the pleasure of working closely with The Bombshell Betties. These women are truly amazing and look forward to seeing them more this year.

Bombshell Betties is a social network of lovely ladies who are enthusiasts for the nostalgia of the hotrod/car/pinup scene. They love everything from those good old days of our parents and grandparents era…. the cars, the clothes, the music even the furniture and of course most of all the Pin-Up models!
They understand that entering the hot rod or pin-up scene might be intimidating especially for a beginner, so the goal of the group is to extend a welcoming hand out to others who want to be a part. Their goal is to be supportive and encourage other women to discover their potential and inner beauty, no matter what their size, shape or color!

Bombshell Betties founder, Janice Allen, cut her teeth in the hot rod scene by way of her father’s flea market stall in Amherst N.H. helping her dad sell antique car parts to vintage car hobbyists. It was there she was bitten by the nostalgia bug and became interested in pin-up era style and dress, which eventually led to her becoming a budding photographer, doing photo shoots of hot rods and pin-up girls at local cruise nights. She was often asked by girls on the side lines watching “How could I be a pin-up?” Or “Where is a good place to buy vintage clothes?” Or ” Where can I learn how to do my hair and make-up in pin-up style? And that is how the idea of Bombshell Betties was born.
