Ok, I want to do a pin up type photo shoot. Should I wait until I am at goal or now to help me break free from this fat girl mentality??

Am I ready for this??

Also, check out this photographer and tell me what you all think! IS he good enough??

Darn! Looks like you have already had your photos done! I came here today and joined the group since I am one month out from banding. Because I am a professional photographer, your post caught my eye. I was going to see if you are in Kansas City or nearby because I do a lot of pinup photography. Here is a link to a couple of my pinups...I have tons more...

By the way, your before and after pics are super inspirational! WOW!!! :girl_hug:

Beautiful photos! Love them! If I am ever close I will call! I am in Michigan so not too far! :girl_hug:

Thanks Brandy! Your pics turned out cute but I'm just more impressed with your overall loss. Congrats to you! I am hoping I can do even half as well as you! :girl_hug: xo

BBK - the inspiration just keeps on coming - your latest batch of photos are too cute! I am most definately going to do this when I reach my goal (or maybe before!)...

Tee - I wish I lived closer to you - your photos are gorgeous! I've done some studio work (mostly products, some headshots) and your work is awesome. Love the props! :crying:

Anyone can do it! Just follow the rules with hard work. You can do it too!

Hey all

Thought I would post a few photos of the last shoot.... :bored:

BBK.. OMG!! You are my inpiration! I just love your photos so much. I want to be able to do this myself one day. I just have to keep my eyes focused on the real prize.

Thank you SO much for all you do for us here. You are cherished!

:smile2:

BBK - if you get a chance, pick up the latest edition of InStyle magazine and take a look at the photos from the book "Hollywood Pinups". It's available on Amazon.com, but you might be able to check it out of the library (it's priced at $40) and I bet it will give you a LOT of ideas for future shoots. :tongue2:

There's a shot of Susan Sarandon lying on the floor, legs up (like your photo) but she's nearly nude except for stocking, shoes and a beautiful black feather boa...I could definately see you doing that shot!

You've inspired so many people, I thought I'd let you know about some more inspiration for your future shoots. :wink2:

The book is "Hollywood Pinups" by Timothy White...it's described as "the book lets you see your favorite A-listers unleash their inner kitty."

Have fun!

SWEET! Thanks! I am going to get it!

Thank you!

Hey guys! I just got my christmas pin ups (only a few) back from the photographer.

BUT I thought I would share the 6 I have, there are about 200 more....

Those are so stunning! You should be so proud of yourself!

I had a myspace message from you to join something, but I could not get in. I think it was so that you could leave me messages. I am not sure what it did. I tried and tried to get it to work. I don't want you to think I was ignoring you!

Thanks! :tongue2:

How long ago was it?

A couple of weeks ago, I think? sorry it took me so long to tell you about it. Christmas always freaks me out and I have not been on the computer nearly as much, trying to get everything done. I am glad it's over!

BBK - You look totally AWESOME as always! You do such a nice job with the photos - and I know some will give credit to the photographer, but he can't make you look THAT GORGEOUS without great material to work with.

You go girl - you are totally my inspiration!:wink_smile:

Awwww--thanks! :wink_smile:

Use me as a guidebook, make yourself the inspiration! :thumbup:
