Studio Betties Pinup & Boudoir Photography

Photography – Minneapolis

At the tender age of roughly 7 or 8, I feel in love with all things glitter after a secret after-school play dates with the Peaches and Cream Barbie my mother had hidden in her closet, waiting for me to grow old enough to understand the social implications of a doll with unrealistic body proportions. My mom was always in my face with her camera (thanks mom!) and so my interest in photography was really formed pretty young. I dabbled in photography in college, taking one traditional darkroom course but didn\'t start shooting seriously until about 2006. I immersed myself in shooting just about anything I could but after years studying theatre and then studying makeup and hair in London, I combined all the fun skills into a photography business that would celebrate women of all shapes and sizes. I basically get to play grown-up dress-up all day long! I relish the opportunity to transform the women who come into my studio, they want to feel special, sexy and like a queen. I am a one stop shop at my studio, I do the makeup/hair, photography and retouching for every session. I might be kind of a control freak!
