HITTING THE HIGH NOTE…#throwbackthursday with the always tots adorbs, Miss Cherry Dollface. Cherry is the reason that Portland Pin-Ups exists. Way back when I used to shoot weddings, and because I was trained professionally how to do it 25 years ago, I used to do it properly and that meant taking lighting with me. I bought some new lights and needed to test them and answering an ad for a model, Cherry came to my studio. We did some wedding-ish test shots, then she told me she was a pin-up model, and would I be interested in photographing some? You betcha! The result was that Cherry was the very first Portland Pin-Ups B0mbshell. This is one of the very first Gil Elvgren images we recreated together, and is still one of my all time favorite artworks.At Portland Pin-Ups, we believe that EVERY woman is a bombshell, and we love our clients!
