I'm no model or anything but Poppy Photography did one hell of a job of making me look like one.
As a relatively new photography company, you have your expectations and Poppy definitely outperformed them.
First and foremost, when I booked my time slot for their monthly Pin-up Workshop, Brittney Fusco (the photographer) contacted me immediately and was incredibly helpful. Within the weeks leading up to the shoot, I received several emails about how to prep for the shoot and also what type of outfits/makeup to bring to the shoot. These were so helpful and definitely eased my nerves on the shoot.
Prior to my shoot, the closest thing I had to done to anything like this is some "before a crazy night out" photo shoots with friends in college. You know exactly what kind of shoot those were. :)
They recently moved into a great little space right off the Rhode Island Mall exit off of 95 South. The place is a little tricky to see as they are still working on getting some signage but once you walk into the studio, you automatically feel right at home.
The shoot itself was lovely. For a mere $35 (amazing, I know) I was locked into an hour session. The first 30 mins were spent by Tiff (Brittney's sis) doing my make-up and Heather Bettencourt doing my hair.
The transformation was fabulous.
The last half hour was spent actually in front of the camera with Brittney snapping away at every pose I could come up with. They have loads of vintage clothing and antique items to really make all of your pin-up dreams come to life. I kept it simple and nautical.
Brittney is a dream to work with because she makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera and although it was only 30 mins. I never felt rushed. Not to mention her puppy Purl made the shoot that much more adorable. I left the shoot with a little goodie bag with my name on it and it really was the icing on the cake.
The turnover for the photos was relatively quick as well. For the package that I selected, I saw about 17 proofs and picked 4 for her to work her retouching magic on. A few days after that, they were posted and I was completely amazed at how they came out.
She truly does amazing work and any girl looking for a little indulgence and should definitely look to Brittney and Poppy Photography to make it all happen. read more
