Linda Marie

"I was concerned about not being fully prepared for such a professional shoot, despite having read the F.A.Q. beforehand, as this was my first time participating in such an activity. But Marilee was very kind, and absolutely friendly. She guided me throughout the entire shoot, and was an absolute dream to work with. My favorite part was being able to try on different outfits and looks I never dreamed about going for. It was hands down fun! You gotta do it! You'd be crazy not to do this at least once! There are tons of different outfits and backgrounds you can choose from! You'll have a blast with Marilee!"

Dana

"What a phenomenal empowering fantastical experience... I was totally nervous going in to the shoot... but Marilee made me so comfortable and confident. I don't even have the words. Five stars is not enough. Thank you so much Marilee and I can't wait to do this again!"

Hanaa

"One of my biggest concerns was not looking as good as I wanted to and that was not the case with the shoot. I looked so amazing and felt amazing. My favorite part was hair and make up and picking out the sat together. I would tell her (my friend) that she definitely would have to do the shoot is a bucket list shoot. That her hair and make up with the perfect and the set would be able to be picked. There were so many options for sets to choose from."

Ava Lanche

This was my 3rd time working with Marilee and this time I brought my mom along to do her own shoot too! Always a blast. Marilee is spot on with both newbies and pros. She does amazing hair and makeup, and has a stunning wardrobe to utilize. I always recommend working with her to my friends!

Alexandra

"I’ve worked with Marilee several times and in different capacities- she is simply fantastic at what she does. We’ve done boudoir/pinup shoots and then she’s also done my MUAH for my wedding. Marilee’s new, amazing studio space had all the costumes, sets and accessories a girl could ever need! I am so thrilled she lives in Sacramento!!!"

Suzi

Body image is a hang up for me. But Marilee is amazing at making you feel beautiful and putting you in flattering poses. Just chatting and having fun! Getting all dolled up and looking through all of the AMAZING wardrobe choices is a blast. Marilee is such a genuinely awesome soul! I love shooting with her and having fun being creative. I have shot with her several times now, and we have so much fun every time. No matter if you are a novice like me, or a seasoned pro, everyone is welcome.

Biggest Concerns. Just being able to have some good poses and looking my best. Hair is always a concern. Marilee is very good at getting good poses out of you- so not an issue! She’s very good with the hair and make up as well. Favorite part. Trying some of her pose suggestions and then of course seeing the after product! Don’t be nervous as she makes this easy for you. She has the perfect personality for this job!! Do it- you will enjoy the experience.

Priscilla

"I’m shy when someone takes a photo. I couldn’t imagine how I would pose. I thought I wouldn’t get a single good photo. Marilee helped me through the process. She gave me the right pose and helped me bring out a bit of me through the shyness. Trust me she is amazing at supporting and guiding. She made this a fun and memorable experience. Now I can’t wait to do another photo shoot!! I loved all the various wardrobe options and backgrounds. Hair and makeup was fun with Marilee. I always wanted to do my hair in that style and she made it happen! I went for one photo shoot option and ended up doing 3 ❤️! I would say go do this for you! You deserve to give yourself that special attention because you are beautiful! This is a special experience and one you will not regret."

It was fun to see all the options, she has A LOT! And don’t get me started on her perfect upstairs wardrobe closet and vanity. Thank you Marilee you are one of a kind"

Catherine Morland

No matter your size, age, or experience level, Marilee will give you the shoot (and hair and makeup!) of your dreams. She's also very efficient; her turnaround time on edits is lightning-quick. And if you want to be published, she's really good at making that happen. Marilee has an amazingly positive outlook and will work with you to make sure you get top-notch photos.

If you're in NorCal and want to be a pinup, you simply must see Marilee."

Keanna

"My biggest concern about doing a shoot was being uncomfortable in front of the camera and looking awkward. This couldn’t be farther from what actually happened! I felt so comfortable during our shoot and the pictures turned out beautiful! From getting ready, to doing the shoot, it was such a fun experience. It was just like hanging out with an old friend! If you want to have such a positive and uplifting experience, Marilee Caruso is 1,000% the way to go! She can make your pinup and boudoir dreams come true!"

Lisa

"I can be awkward and shy in front of the camera. Marilee’s quick-shoot style always ensures that there’s a few gems! I love picking out and/or accessorizing my wardrobe! Not only is Marilee’s space perfectly suited for prepping, she has great options, ideas and style books at the ready! Treat yourself! The experience is relaxed and fun, plus you get some amazing mementoes to celebrate you, your body and your style!"

Salina

"My biggest concern was being too shy to get anything good, BUT Marilee made me feel comfortable and having her pup Zuko there calmed my nerves as well! I gained a lot of confidence in myself after the shoot was over! Besides everything lol getting to be in her wardrobe playroom was so cool! I could be in there all day. Marilee's passion for vintage photography is amazing and there is no need to fear or be shy, she’s going to take care of you!

Justian

"My two biggest concerns about the shoot were that I would look ridiculous and my body is not in “the place” I wanted it to be before taking photos like these. Marilee made this process SO amazing! I just got my photo proofs back & I am thrilled with them! None of my insecurities are visible (lol)! I look like what I fantasized I would look like! It was super exciting! This was a wonderful experience. Hanging out with Marilee - I felt like I was back in high school at my best friends house…the best friend who had the amazing closet, cool makeup, etc. I had the best time playing “dress up” - I felt like a kid again. Great body confidence building experience! Can’t wait to see my husband’s face when he gets them!!"

Melody Noir

"Photoshoots can be so nerve racking. I was so nervous I would feel uncomfortable but Marilee blew that concern away. She was so very welcoming from the start. She has such a positive warm energy that literally lasts the entire day! It literally feels like you are playing dress up like when you were a little girl but with much more quality makeup, wardrobe and sets! Marilee has such a wonder selection of clothes, accessories and makeup! I was so impressed! I would tell my friend you need to book a shoot asap! Marilee makes you feel so beautiful and is so fun to work with her! She is so creative and open to new idea/themes. Sky’s the limit with Marilee! Marilee provides the complete package!"

Kathryn

"I got a chance to work with Marilee on a trip to the Bay area, and the experience was just wonderful. She was super friendly and put me at ease immediately. The wardrobe she provided had plenty of options and her hair and makeup skills are on point - this woman really can do it all! I love the pictures from our session and hope to work with her again soon :)"

Tiana

"Great experience, I had never done this before & Marilee was patient and helped direct my poses. Would definitely do this again."

Alexandra

It was a dream come true working with Marilee! She is kind, welcoming, and so easy to talk to! She does such a beautiful job with makeup, hair, photography, and editing. She talks you through posing and makes you feel so comfortable. I highly recommend Marilee Caruso Photography. P.S. I loved working with her so much, I already have my next shoot scheduled with her!

Jacqueline

"Marilee is so creative! She designs the most wonderful and colorful sets and always does an incredible job with hair and makeup. I highly recommend booking a shoot. You will have so much fun!"

Aly

"Marilee is so sweet and welcoming. From the very beginning, she was responsive and answered any questions I had. Marilee explained every step of the shoot processes. What I appreciate most was her calmness and helpful nature. Marilee said she would take three weeks to edit my pictures, and it took her three weeks to the day! I’d never done a photoshop at all before and decided to do pin ups. Marilee was welcoming and I was comfortable for the entire process. Hair, makeup, studio space, and retouched files all for a great price with a great experience! I definitely recommend Marilee to a first-time (or seasoned) model."

Kathy

"Wonderful collection of outfit ideas, studio is amazing, very inviting and comfortable! Love the pictures so much - excited to do this again one day! She is a magician when it comes to hair!!"

Pinuppples

Meredith

"I was unsure of myself and quite shy. Marilee helped me feel very comfortable we had fun trying different poses. I absolutely love that Marilee’s home IS her studio. The whole feel is authentic, organized and calming. Marilee can transform anyone into a stunning beauty! Put your worries aside and go have a great time! But beware, you will become addicted!"

Brettie Page

"Marilee is a consummate professional and A+ collaborator. She always helps take my artistic vision over the top with her sets. She’s communicative, thorough, and detail oriented. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to shoot, experienced or brand new."

Nonnie

"Everything went beautifully!!! She made me feel alive. How sexy, powerful and confident I felt. Girl run!!! Don’t walk!!! Go to Marilee and get you sexy, confident self on!!"

Hilary

"OMG!!! This was much more than a photo shoot, it was a truly amazing experience. This was my first time taking professional pictures as an adult alone and my final pictures made me look like a real pro! Marilee is super nice and understanding. Her wardrobe and makeup skills are beyond amazing! Just book her already!"

Ava Lanche

"I had a very mild concern about shooting during covid, but everything Marilee did was done with the utmost precaution. Everything was sterilized and safety measures were taken very seriously which I appreciated tremendously! Feeling beautiful!! I hadn't felt beautiful in so long because of the pandemic, I almost forgot what that felt like to smile and appreciate who I saw in the mirror. Specifically I would say the hair and makeup was my favorite, creating a new look. Marilee is so easy to work with! From start to finish she helps you with everything from your hair and makeup, to a wardrobe that looks good regardless of whatever your body shape or comfort level is. I've worked with her twice, and I'd do it again in a heartbeat!"

Seville

"My biggest concern was thinking i wasnt goin to be able to find the right look to fit me and that the shoot would be stressful because i was so nervous about spending all that money just to have something go wrong..But it didnt..the shoot was EVERYTHING i thought it could be for a first timer like me AND MORE.. My favorite part was conversating with Marilee and colaborating..she made me feel super comfortable and she did such a GREAT JOB with everything she offered..she has an EYE for what she does and it SHOWS"

Nina

"Being new to photo shoots you never really know what will happen I personally am terrible at posing for the camera but Marilee directs you in a fun and creative way. The whole process is really fun. Picking out the outfit, getting dolled up and posing.. even thou I’m not good at it Marilee makes it seem so easy! Feeling glamorous and getting the finished pictures are always so exciting. Girl, you want to feel empowered? Confident? Freaking gorgeous? Go hangout with Marilee for a couple hours!"

Jackie Colada

"Marilee is not only an accomplished photographer but she is also great at doing vintage makeup and hair styling. She is fun, creative and very professional. I absolutely loved working with her and I am definitely looking forward to more!"

Gigi

"Marilee is the most brilliant, kind, patient, and humorous lovely lady I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and working with! She walks you through everything while doing hair and makeup (and she can even provide wardrobe! ), and helps coach you through posing during the shoot! The amount of confidence she helped me feel was impowering and is brought back anytime I look at the photos. I can’t wait to work with her again!"

Margeaux

My biggest concern was definitely my body. Thankfully, Marilee is a posing master and got all of the most flattering angles! Favorite: The hair and makeup. Getting to know Marilee and just enjoying the conversation whilst transforming! Especially during the pandemic, we all just want to feel pretty for an hour and she definitely helps achieve that! She makes it very comfortable, everything is clean and super sanitary. Honestly, I was truly happy with my experience and can’t wait to shoot with her again!

Deanna

"I didn't have any concerns about doing the shoot except for maybe not liking the photo's after but I was wrong. Marilee did such an amazing job capturing the theme and vision that I wanted. My hair and make-up were on point too! Marilee is so fun and upbeat to shoot with! I loved having someone else do my hair & make up. She played fun music and I got play dress up for the day. I actually have recommended this to my BF! I told her that Marilee does a great job making you feel like a hot mama, the pinup style theme's are so original and different that the typical boudoir style shoot. She is very good at helping you create your personal vision too! She is fun and affordable and worth the wait!"

Karina

"I chose Marilee for her clear talent but also because i LOVE vintage aesthetic. From the beginning, her friendliness and kindness really set the tone for our session and gave me all the confidence i needed. In addition to that, the excellent services she offers are very reasonable priced, she offers Amazing wardrobe choices Complete with Stunning hair and makeup! After viewing the final edited pictures, each one took me back to all the fun– they’re so good! Somehow, she found a way to capture my confidence, i would not hesitate to recommend you to others!"

Lenteece

"Absolutely loved EVERYTHING about my shoot, I had BIG FUN! Marilee did a great job bringing out my inner glow, KUDOS. She can definitely create and bring out the little girl."

Kelly

"I had never done a pinup style shoot before and I was so nervous! I was concerned I wouldn't know what to do or how to pose. When I got there, Marilee made me feel so comfortable and guided me through posing! I had such an incredible first experience that I booked a second one, and am booking again soon! After talking to Marilee for five minutes on my first shoot with her, it felt like I knew her for forever. She made me feel safe with her COVID precautions. My favorite part though was feeling like I was shooting with a friend. BOOK WITH MARILEE! She makes you feel confident and beautiful. The photos truly reflect how you feel, confident and beautiful."

Cherry

"I do not have enough words to express exactly how much I love this lady and her skills! We have shot together more 10 times over the last 6 years and each shoot has been better then the last. Her warmth, humor, and kindness put me at ease every time! And her crazy skills with the camera make even this non model feel beautiful. I can't recommend Marilee and her work enough! If you are looking for a fun shoot that feels more like girls playing dress up which results in truly beautiful images then this is the photographer you want to book with!"

Misty

"I was concerned I would be terrible and Marilee would be annoyed with me. Marilee is so sweet and you can tell she loves what she does. She made me feel so comfortable and worked with me to get the best shots. Marilee is an amazing talented beautiful human! Getting dressed up and my hair and make up done. Plus Marilee is fun to talk to! Also taking myself out of my comfort zone. Marilee really helped me feel comfortable. YOU HAVE TO DO THIS!!! Marilee is fantastic!"

Diandra

"I have worked with Marilee on multiple occasions and she has become one of my favorite photographers. She is professional and very comfortable to work with. The photos always come out sunning and beautiful and her hair and makeup skills on top of her photography is incredible! One of the most talented women to work with. Highly recommend her!"

Reigna Rox

Marilee is amazing at all she does! Flawless makeup and hair styling and the visits we have while she works her magic are always uplifting. Her photography skills are top notch! What's even better is how much fun she is! I've been going to her for 3 years and each time is better than the last. Being an introvert, it's so important to me to work with people who are encouraging, understanding, and helpful. She's those things and more. Becoming Reigna Rox, a published pinup model, started with her and I'm so grateful to her for everything! I always look forward to the next time we get to work together!

Catherine

"I'm just a regular gal. I'm a 37 year old, stay at home with 3 kiddos. I've never done ANYTHING like this. The last time I had my photos done was for my wedding. I came across Marilee on Instagram and loved her photos. I thought, I should have done this 10 years ago before my body was ravaged by pregnancy and age. Then, I thought, I don't want to be 47 wishing I just did it 10 years prior. Haha! So, I booked it. Showed up nervous at Marilees house. She was so sweet and warm. We went up to her beauty area. She has a TON of things to choose from. Whether you want to be fully clothed in a fancy dress or scantily clad in pin-up style lingerie she's got a ton of sizes. I was worried about what she had to offer so I brought a suitcase full of my own options and wore nothing I brought. Not even my own shoes. She did my hair and makeup and then it was time to shoot. She gave me a lot of posing instructions. Since I has never done anything like this, I still felt a little awkward. But, that was just my own fault. Ha! I got my proofs and was very nervous to see them. She sent 5 retouched photos and I couldn't believe my eyes! She actually got some really great photos. She also let's you see all the other raw photos and there were some real awkward looking photos. So, the fact that she was able to shoot my awkward self and get some great shots was so impressive! I can't wait to do it again. So, if you're just a regular gal like me and are on the fence about doing it, just do it! You're in great hands with Marilee."

Alicia

"I had a wonderful time. Marilee is the best!! I was a little worried about only photoing once before with another photographer but she makes you feel so beautiful and comfortable. I loved that she took her time and got more shots than she really needed. She is awesome. And I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to photo. I also love that she gives you photos that are touched up and then also lets you look through all of the photos if u would like to get more retouched. I will definitely be photoing with her again!!

Kassandra

"I absolutely LOVED shooting with Marilee! The entire process was so much fun! We did a hot rod shoot together & it was one of the best experiences ever. When I saw the final images I was amazed by her work! I will definitely be shooting with Marilee again!"

Jessi

I never have a concern when I’m working with Marilee! She is amazing! Everything was probably my favorite but the fact that Marilee takes the time to get to know you is what’s beat! I would say that, Marilee gives you a once in a life time experience and that she’ll make you feel like a Queen for a day!

Persephone

"I've been working with Marilee for a year now over several pinup photoshoots, and she is a dream to work with--she's an absolute wizard with hair and makeup, and is a knock-out stylist and set designer! I feel like a queen for a day when I shoot with her--her studio is warm and inviting, her wardrobe is to die for, and she's so delightful to interact with! Marilee is very easy-going and will make your feel relaxed and comfortable during the whole shoot, and is wonderful with giving direction if you're new to posing on camera. Her communication before/during/after the shoot was prompt and crystal clear. I can't recommend her highly enough!"

Stephanie

"I shot with Marilee a couple months ago and had the best time! I looked phenomenal and felt amazing every step of the way. The finished product is to die for! I look forward to working with her again, hopefully sooner than later."

Edie

"I have had the pleaser of working with Marilee on a couple occasions. She is so amazing and will make you feel beautiful from the inside and out. She does a great job with hair and make up and her wardrobe for shoots is massive and so much fun to play around with. She is so creative and always has amazing ideas to share. I highly recommend purchasing glamour shots from Marilee."

Dania

"I have shot with Marilee several times over the years and it has always been a pleasant experience. Not only is she talented professionally but has a wonderful personality to match. She always comes prepared and tended to anything I needed. Her customer service also extends well after the shoot is over. Anytime I need a quality shoot and a positive experience, I know I can rely on Marilee to meet those needs!"

Heather

"I've had the absolute pleasure of doing four shoots with Marilee, and I already have number five booked! Why? Because it is so much fun that I can't wait to go back! Before my first shoot I was really worried about feeling silly or shy, but I never did, mainly because from the moment I met Marilee I felt at ease. Imagine playing dress up and fashion model with your best friend. Marilee really makes you feel pampered while she transforms you, her hair and makeup skills alone are incredible. While shooting the first time I felt nervous, but Marilee patiently guides you and coaches you on posing. After all the fun you wait patiently for your pictures only to be blown away by how incredible Marilee made you look!I recommend to all my friends to try having some glamour shots with Marilee done, whether the pictures are for you or your partner, the experience alone is worth having :)!"

Christina

"I have used Marilee’s services several times over the years, and can vouch that she is amazing in many different capacities! I started out doing some pin up portraits with her which were SO fun. I’d never done anything like that before and she made me feel so comfortable and beautiful. When I started my real estate career I asked if she’d be willing to photograph my listings and what do you know, those photos are phenomenal too. I recently did my maternity shoot with her and I cannot even tell you how many compliments I have received. Marilee is laid back, relaxed and fun to work with while also having extreme attention to detail. This girl knows what she’s doing and you are sure to be happy with her work."

Tecia

“My very 1st time EVER modeling for camera. Amazingly fun experience! Marilee makes you feel so comfortable, and helps you with poses! I didn't know what to do, and she helped and made it so fun! I'll definitely do it again!! Okay, my 2nd shoot was incredible!!!! Marilee is phenomenal! & I am doing a 3rd shoot next week!!!! Can NOT wait!!!  I can't wait to put together this portfolio, & I'm entering a pinup competition in summer, THANKS to Marilee & Goldie Golden! Third and fourth shoots were amazing, too!! Marilee is so dang good at her job!!!”

Chauntel

I cannot be specific with what my favorite part was about the experience, because the whole experience was great and it was such a pleasure to shoot will Marilee. I love her dog too. I would tell a friend that if they want to feel glam and done up and just have a fun time, set up a shoot.

Katie

"Marilee did a great job! She is really good at what she does. Not only did the pictures turn out great, but working with her was so much fun, and the hair and makeup was beautiful. I was definitely nervous about the shoot but she has so much personality and is so helpful on posing and ideas she made it a comfortable environment. So much so, I went back and did a second shoot just because!"

Jackie

"Marilee is a true delight to work with. She has been photographing my family for years. Each time we work with her the results are flawless, she truly captures exactly what we are looking for in every image. She makes us feel so comfotable and our toddler loves her.

I was a little nervous at first about doing a pin-up shoot, I wasn't sure if I would be able to pose as naturally as the models in Vintage Magazines, But Marilee was such a fun photography coach I was amazed at how my pictures came out! Oh so Classy! Marilee's style and wardrobe selection was so gorgeous and classic. There was plenty of different styles to choose from.

“In 2010 I re-entered modeling. I was instantly fascinated with the pin-up culture and the ladies who were driving the community. The first photographer I wanted to work with was Marilee.

You are a very creative artist and I adored working with you. I hope I get the chance to do it again."
