PINNING UP PINUPS WITH PERSONALIZED PRODUCT

PINUPS should be PINNED UP, but ALSO made into PERSONALIZED PINUP PRODUCTS.

You won't find another studio that is able to provide custom personalized product after a PINUP session. Because immortalizing each PINUP in actual EVERYDAY (USEFUL) PRODUCTS allows for each beauty to live forever and the goal for Kerry DePew Photography.

Between glassware to useful travel items, to recipe books and jewelry, you won't find another studio that can customize YOUR PINUP SELF.

XOXO,

Kerry

I am honestly just not a blogger...

I just don't put in the time.

But whose reading blogs anyway, when there's Instagram, Facebook, and Tik Tok. I am not on Tik Tok, I just don't think I can do one more social media outlet ESPECIALLY one with videos. I wish I was better about it, but I am a mom, a wife, and small business owner that is doing her best. And Tik Tok is just not me.

Anyhow, a couple of favorites from recent shoots. Just because. 

Mrs. S got in a shoot for her hubby's birthday. I love it.

 

 

Ms. K jumped on the boat last year, but we finally got our schedules lined up. I absolutely love this gal.

I have a couple more, but these are the most recent.

Love a couple of friends that trust me to pin them up.

XOXO,

Kerry

Life before Covid, I had approached a former co-worker as I realized that her husband's tattoo shop (Liquid Courage) just hired a local artist (Wags Sign Company) for a MERMAID sign in front of their shop. It was A FLASH MERMAID TATTOO, done in that almost Sailor Jerry kind of way. Such a cool piece of art.

It was so inspiring, I had to get in touch with my friend to see if she would want to do a mermaid session. We had all these plans, with a couple of other girlfriends in her life to do a mermaid session together... Best laid plans and then of course, the pandemic hit.

Everything went on hold. But as soon as we could, with immunizations in place, we were able to get these beautiful LONG AWAITED images. I LOVE how her session turned out. I learned quite a bit more about flash tattoos that I have found inspiring for all my pinup work. I caught up with an old friend who I have missed working with. And you know, we took some pretty amazing pictures with ideas for fun products. Because her images are so perfect...

Without much ado, can we just awe in this???

I mean, I really can't even. I have a set of retro housewife that I hope to share in another blog post, but for now, how cute are these images?

And for one final product option, because of just how much we love great people who inspire us... A page of temporary tattoos?!?! How perfect?!!

Stay tuned for a page on products.

Lots of love and good vibes,

Kerry

Talk about pinup

We all have our circles of people, right?

Your work circle, your neighbor circle, your kids' moms circle, your community circle, and then your friend circle. Sometimes people overlap in circles. You find someone whose a fellow mom, living in your neighborhood, and oh they work at the same place that you did. And you share the same humor. Like a lot of the same humor. This gal is especially one of those friends that you keep in your circle of people.

And when she gets in a session, she hits it out of the park. Legit, threw down the gauntlet when she let me stylize her in all the ways with all my crazy ideas. I can't even begin to talk about product with her.

Trust is allowing me to see vision for your session. My friends honor me with the trust that I will make them some fantastic pinups.

XOXO,

Kerry

Oh my goodness, I am terrible at BLOGGING

I mean, I haven't blogged in like.... erg.... a YEAR.

I spend more of my time updating Instagram and Facebook... because honestly, it's just easier from my phone. And let's be honest, 2020 WAS A WASH.

So let me fill you in since my last blog. I had a couple of sessions in early 2020 that I honestly never got around to posting here. I thought 2020 was going to be MY year.

And I decided to buy this awesome space for my studio (and future life plans), closing on it right before COVID. And then COVID decided to change our entire lives.

I won't lie, being married to someone on the frontlines in 2020 (who is actually important to an entire hospital structure in this community) was very, very heavy. It meant that we as a family lived our lives very differently- so much more in quarantine to protect others and ourselves, especially when every day my spouse was directly in it with COVID. Everyday was a different amount of emotions and my coping method is to rechannel heavy energy into making something beautiful. Looking back on the year, it's been a year where I took all of my funky ideas and tried to get them out there. It was a year I could perfect my editing. I spent it figuring out what direction I wanted to take my business, but also what needed to be made in the studio. It was a year of envisioning costumes, props, and my artwork. It was a year of getting life a little more organized, painted, and ready for future sessions. (There was so much painting, I left sets of paint clothes at the studio- and they might still be there.) It's been a year since I closed on that space that would house the clothes, furniture, art projects, and props for pinup. It's been a year of non-stop making, cleaning, painting, and creating spaces and scenes. It's been a year and I will be ready when it's time to open to the entire public.

Last year, I did a handful of outdoor family sessions for friends and one pinup in the summer all dependent on numbers in our community and the direct input of my healthcare spouse. As of March 2021, I am only accepting healthcare that have been fully vaccinated. In a way, it is my little thank you to open to my people in my former life. When vaccines are rolled out to the entire public (including me), I will plan to open fully. Until then, enjoy the fact that I have amazing friends in healthcare. They are pretty darn fantastic...

So that's the year in a nutshell.

Can I present my amazing friend, Kara?! I have known her as a co-worker, as a neighbor, and a friend. She's one hot mama and wife, but she's also one amazing caregiver with the heart of gold. And she honored me by being in my studio a couple days before her birthday. For International Women's Day. I mean, perfect, AM I RIGHT?!

Seriously, I have been so lucky to know some legitimately BEAUTIFUL gals, inside and out.  I hope to highlight some of my current work and throw in some oldies that I never posted. Stay tuned. And Les Elvgren, eat your heart out.

XOXO,

Kerry
