Our next adventure on our Las Vegas Adventure was working with Darla Lush of Hollywood at the Artisian Hotel. Since I had noticed that she had alot of swimsuits I thought it would be great to shoot pool side on a such a warm day. There will be a movie of this session soon.

Last weekend VGS had the pleasure to work with ladies attending a “Women’s Forward” (as opposed to a Retreat) with Half Full at the Historic Publick House Inn in Sturbridge MA. Half Full is a wonderful company that helps businesses and individuals overcome obstacles to move forward professionally and personally.
Without Half Full there would be no Vintage Girl Studios.
I met Half Full’s Rebecca Twitchell in early 2010. My husband had done some work with her and suggested that the two of us meet. At the time I was a crossroads professionally (though I didn’t yet realize it) and was trying to find that elusive balance between my professional and my personal life. I loved what I was doing, but was having conflict with my co-workers to the point that It was starting to effecting me physically and emotionally.
I remember our meeting so well as she listened intently to my story. Then she asked me the question I needed to hear. “Why can’t you go on your own? What is holding you back? If you are so passionate, why stop?”
I had week of soul searching. Questioning whether if I changed this or that maybe I could keep on working things out with everyone. Then in a moment of clarity, I could hear Rebecca’s questions and I knew that I had the answers. YES. I can do this. I will start over. I will get organized. Then my strategic plan fell in to place.
With the love and support of my wonderful husband Christian, I moved on and Vintage Girl Studios was born.
Rebecca is still a wonderful cheerleader as my business has grown. Last weekend was the first time we worked together professionally and I know the women who attended this Forward went away energized and excited.
Thank you Nickle Baby Studios and Styling by Bombshell Beauties. We were able to show the ladies that evening a slideshow of the images that were taken that day.
Last Month VGS had the pleasure of working in Las Vegas. I had such amazing time working with Darla Lush, Michelle Larae, and Michelle Gutierrez at this truly unique location. The Neon Museum/Boneyard is where all the old signs of the strip are donated. It has been under construction and not open to public until October 27th. It really has a old Las Vegas feel and the colors are amazing.. It was a long time dream to photograph there even before I was doing vintage/ pin-up photography.

Last week I had worked with a beautiful confident woman by the name of Luci Lux. Not only is she a wonderful model she is also a talented hair and make up artist that has been living in Las Vegas for ten years. She was so friendly and easy to work with. I hope to see her again when business takes me west. Our session was at the Elcortez Cabana Suites located in Downtown LasVegas.”

This summer I had the Pleasure of attending a few vintage events.
Jazz Age Lawn Party presented by Michael Arenella and His Dreamland Orchestra.
Under a shady grove of centuries-old trees, caressed by fresh sea air, a sprawling green surrounded by historic officers’ quarters and 18th century naval ramparts, becomes the setting for a true Gatsby affair.
Hosted by The Commonwealth Vintage Dancers, Travel Back in Time to the summer playground of the Gilded Age. Perfect your dancing skills with classes taught by leading experts on vintage dance. Experience the breathtaking opulence of America ’s finest ballrooms as you dance in Newport’s famous mansions. Let yourself be immersed in a bygone era as you sip tea by the shore… Sadly this is the last year of this event. They do however have many other events in the Boston area.
Chifferobe is both a traveling club and an event production company. Whether you are looking for an extraordinary night on the town or a private affair to remember, Chifferobe offers exceptional events for you.
Our club nights take place at venues throughout the North East, though we are based in Providence, RI. These occasions are inspired by the follies, supper clubs, and USO shows of bygone eras.
To See more photo from these events check out Our Face Book Page.
I have done a couple of these videos of the process of Vintage Girl Studios. This video is more of an intimate introduction of our talented stylists. They are so wonderful, professional and such a pleasure to work with.
The video was filmed by Marc Creedon Photography.
Model is Katherine Violette.
Styling by Lady Luck Boutique
Monday evening I attended a vintage event at Rosecliff Mansion in Newport, RI. The house is one of the most beautiful mansions in Newport. Rosecliff has inspired me since I was a little girl going on mansion tours with my grade school. I felt the need to take some images of my good friend and fellow photographer Nicole Gesmondi in this setting.
I will have another blog about The Commonwealth Vintage Dancers’ Newport dance week next week. To see more photos from this session go to the VGS Facebook page.
