Pregnant Pinups & Print Turnaround Times | Kansas City Pinup & Boudoir Photographer

I'm going to cover two things in this blog post. First of all...

Foxy Momma Pinup Sessions have arrived!!! :D (That's me as a pregnant model, haha).

The Flyer Below has all the information about our new Foxy Momma Pinups Sessions!

I'm so excited to be able to offer these new sessions to you! We're going to have a blast!

I've been getting a lot of questions about turnaround times for Foxy Pinup Photo Products. It's then I realized that I didn't have them posted anywhere! As a head's up, Creative Lifestyle Photo Products have COMPLETELY DIFFERENT turnaround times. What you order online with those sessions is what the final print will look like, so it's only a week to get you those products from the times they're posted (at most two weeks for album & book orders). Because Foxy Pinups have a much more extensive editing process, the turnaround times for these orders is different. I made this table for you to show you our turnaround times.

I hope this table helps to answer questions about our process! I do not start working on an order until I receive payment for the order. Like it says above, if there is an order you need before the turnaround time date posted, please let me know. Also, it's a good idea to consult the table when looking at a photo session date! We want you to get your order in time for whatever occasion you may need it for. 

I try my hardest to put a speedy edge on your orders while still giving you the absolute perfect pinup look! You're gorgeous! Nothing makes me happier then delivering outstanding photos to my beautiful clients.

Let me know if you gals have any questions-about Foxy Momma Sessions or otherwise!

Love,

Our Foxy Pinup Giveway Winners | Kansas City Pinup & Boudoir Photographer

We had a lot of entries into our Foxy Pinup Session Giveaway in December, and I read a lot of entries that were just fantastic! Seriously, it's so great to hear about strong women in our society-ones that show courage in the face of adversity. It was our mission to give a special woman, one who had an especially hard year but kept pushing forward, and her best friend a great session full of Foxy Pinup pampering for free! The winners of our Foxy Pinup Session Giveaway were Brandi and Stefanie!

Brandi was nominated by Stefanie and her entry was very moving. Brandi lost her fiance last year in a work related accident and Stefanie is the one who introduced them. After meeting Brandi, I can easily see why Stefanie nominated her. Brandi is so upbeat and FUN!! She had a smile on her face from the moment she walked through our doors. What a sweetheart! And by the way, Stefanie is totally kick-butt as well! Aside from her sweet attitude, she is in the military! Thank you for your service, Stefanie!

Brandi and Stefanie both participate in the Polar Plunge. This is the event in which awesomely brave people dive into FREEZING cold water to help raise money for special olympics. (Cold water frightens me, haha...but seriously). Brandi also helps organize Relay for Life-one of the organizations I love-that raises and donates money to the American Cancer Society.

I speak for both Amanda and I when I say that it was an honor to have met you both! Thank you for letting us capture a little of who you both are, and for being an inspiration to women everywhere! You girls rock!

Love,

Help the Puppies! | Kansas City Pinup Photographer + Basset and Beagle Rescue of the Heartland

Help the Puppies!

You might wonder where this is all leading... and don't worry, it's exciting and I am getting to the point! 

Many of you know that I am completely obsessed with our dog, Harley.  

This is Harley in our family photos care of Kim Anne Photography:

And this is Harley straight chillin':

Harley is an adopted basset hound, and he has only brought more love into our family. He actually came to us through Basset and Beagle Rescue of the Heartland, an organization that takes care of lonely little basett hounds, beagles, and various other types of dogs that are looking to find a forever home. They took care of Harley, fostered him with love, and then gave us the opportunity to love him forever! I've been wanting to do something special with them and for them. Then I got to thinkin'.... 

What about Pet Pinup Pictures? 

I know you gals out there love your little fuzzy buddy as much as I love mine! Why not don some vintage attire, bring in your furry friend, and make some adorable photos count towards helping the greater good? With that, I'm introducing....

 Foxy Pinups Dog Days of Summer!!!

For every session you book with us, over 50% of the session total is donated to 

Basset and Beagle Rescue of the Heartland! 

Coverage includes:

• Vintage hair & makeup styling

• One pinup outfit

• Half hour session with your fuzzy buddy, you, and me in my studio

• All prints airbrushed to perfection!

• Your own shareable online proofing gallery 

• 1 complimentary 8 x 10 (8 x 12) of you and your fuzzy friend to keep forever!

• Helping another loving animal in the process of finding a home 

It's a Limited Edition Session, which means that for this year, it will be the ONLY time available to do pet pinup photos. It's throughout the month of September. We also only have 7 spots!

I know this is going to book up really quickly, so if you want to take advantage of the low price, help another pup, and look adorable while doing it, contact me as soon as possible!

 Lots of Puppy Love,
