This week we had the pleasure of working with Niki Luparelli . This ReVamped session was inspired by Marilyn Monroe very last photo shoot(The Lost Nudes) by Lawrence Schiller the day before she passed. We have been seeing many images of Marilyn lately because we are a few weeks from the 50th anniversary of her tragic death.
To see more of these images they will exclusively will be published to The Niki Luparelli and the Gold Digger’s FB page.
Niki Luparelli and the Gold Digger’s will be performing at The Dorrance in Providence, RI on Saturday night.
This week Revamped session was with the amazing model Queenie at Horseneck Beach Westport, Ma.
This session was inspired by photographer and model Bunny Yeager.
Born in Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania, U.S. Yeager became one of the most photographed models in Miami. After retiring from modeling, she began her career behind the camera. She met Bettie Page in 1954, and took most of the photographs of her that year.[1] Along with photographer Irving Klaw, Yeager played a role in helping to make Page famous, particularly with her photos in Playboy magazine.[1] Yeager is also credited with discovering the model Lisa Winters.[citation needed] Following Page’s retirement, Yeager remained a successful photographer. She took the well-known still images of Ursula Andress on the beach in the 1962 James Bond film Dr. No, and discovered many other notable models.[1] In 1968 she played the role of a Swedish masseuse opposite Frank Sinatra in Lady In Cement.[1]
When I first started to really photograph Pin- up a few years ago in my searches I had come across Bunny Yeager’s website.
At the time was was still working. I had ordered a many of her books and they all came signed. How amazing and what an inspiration. I still have her business card in a place or honor in my studio.
For more images and movie from this session Check out the Vintage Girl Studios Blog or The VGS Facebook page.
The Sayles Mill Photo Collaborative offers monthly, daily, and hourly rentals for photographers of all levels. The SMPC studio is also ideal for photography classes and workshops.
The 2500 sq ft studio offers two separate shooting rooms, each with its own studio lighting kit, a wide array of backgrounds and a dedicated entrance. In addition, the studo includes one large, comfortably equiped meeting area for client presentations and consultations.
I have taken on the position of Studio Manager.
WE will be having an opening reception June 22nd from 6-9pm
Photographed a great wedding at The Publick House on April 14th. Ryan and Allison were so great and fun to work with. Kimmie C. seconded shot. It had been ages since we had worked together and was kind of nice to have a another shooter. What a great day.
VGS News!
There is a new Jewel Session at Vintage Girl Studios!
Opal Session $125
I know have not been blogging on this site but that is about to change. Vintage Girl Studios has been such a success that it has almost taken over my studio. So much so that I have limited the weddings I do per year. Now that the new studio has been completed and VGS is moving in the direction I hoped for, some real thought and attention will be going into updating this site. This will be starting weekly. I have started a New Facebook Page for KHP where I will be adding images weekly. I have added a 2010 and 2011 to the wedding gallery on this site. Keep posted for more images here!!
I’ve been a bit busy this spring with engagement sittings. It is so great to have some more one-on-one time with my couples. I love asking how the wedding plans are coming along.
I’ve also been doing a lot of work in the studio on Vintage Girl Studios as well. There is a lot of things in 2010 planned for this new project. Remember, KHP clients will receive a special rate for this service. Check out the Vintage Girl Studios site.

I want all my clients to know that I have recently left Providence Pin- Up and will be opening, Vintage Girl Studios, a service of Krzystyna Harber Photography.
As PPU’s co-founder, I spent countless hours developing the business and exploring concept-based, pin-up photography. My time there was well spent! We did some wonderful things.
Now, however, I’m so excited about moving to a new studio to start this project. I plan to take the photography in a different direction and to offer more personal and attentive service.
UPDATE January 7th,2021:
I cannot believe that 11 years have gone by since this blog was posted. I remembered writing it I was very nervous, scared, and had a lot of feelings. My children were so young and I had found my purpose in my art. Could this be an actual business? Will this work? I was also feeling a bit lonely in my vision with past partners. I was lucky to have the support of my husband and family through this journey. I made it a mission to have a unique studio that would empower all people through vintage glamour photography.
Over the past eleven years, we have had the pleasure of photographing hundreds of people in the studio, been to countless events, made dreams come true, created so much art, partnered with small businesses, donated our services, and made so many friends.
VGS will be around for many years to come. Our team truly loves what we do.
It has come to my attention that my past project is no longer active. If you are looking for any stylist or photographer that worked with that project, contact us and we will do our best to send you in their direction.
If you would like more information regarding our studio please view our studio guide.
Last week during my move I received a phone call for a maternity session. I was not taking appointments until the 12th, but I realized she was in her 38th week – so we made it work!
To accommodate, we did a home session where I set up the studio in her living room and outside her home. I’m so excited to work with them again and to soon meet Baby.
