THE PROCESS
- View my package options here
- Select the type of package that’s best for you. I offer Premium and Deluxe Sessions with wardrobe, hair and makeup as well as Mini Sessions where you show up camera ready. There are one, two and three look options. We can shoot at the studio or on location, as well as add cars, pets or your significant other.
- Next set a date with me and send in your deposit to lock it in.
- Please give me at least a general idea of what you want to shoot at least two weeks before the shoot. You will receive a list of my available themes/styles to inspire you. An invoice with the address, client contract link and prep info link.
- Shoot Day!! With a deluxe package we start with picking your wardrobe from our large collection of sizes XS-3X. But make sure to bring at least one backup option from home. Next its time for hair and makeup, finishing up your vintage styling. And last it's time to shoot!
- Between 2-3 weeks you will receive a link to your retouched high resolution files (Chosen by the photographer) as well as a private password protected online photo gallery were you can view the raw photos from your session and order more poses.
- All finished retouched photos are archived on my hard drives and on a cloud service as a back up. Raw files are only saved for 1 year.
YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER
Hi! My name is Marilee Caruso. I specialize in creating vintage inspired pinup, glamour & boudoir photography for all types, from seasoned models to first timers. I love creating the perfect theme or style that fits your personality. Cheesecake cutie, bombshell Bettie, classic starlet, or naughty vixen. I offer studio, on location, and hot rod photo shoots, as well as retro inspired hair and makeup.
I was born and raised in Northern California near the beautiful Bay Area and am now located in Sacramento. While attending classes at Solano Community College in 2004 I took my first black and white film photography class and fell in love. From the very beginning my work was inspired by the style and art of the mid 1900's and the family photos I always loved to look at as a child.
Once I realized I was hooked I attended the Academy of Art in San Francisco where I honed my skills with the camera, lighting, and retouching. Now an internationally published photographer, I shoot with all kinds of private and commercial clients.
Let me bring out your inner bombshell!
