Pinups for Valentine’s Day

I’m fascinated with pinup photography. My first serious pictures were a session of self portraits. I remember feeling down about myself. So I dressed up and took my own picture. It made me feel happy. I showed the pictures around and my friends said “Oh my god that’s you? Take my picture!”
It’s kind of how this whole thing of me being a photographer started rolling.
Here is a limited* selection of photos taken from around 1990-2012. Enjoy.
(*my photo program conveniently crashed this morning, so this is the best I could do, in terms of finding & uploading pics today!) XOXO
