Sarita V Pin-up was my creative outlet to balance out some of the very tedious and dry work I do on a daily basis. I started photographing others in 2018, but moved to rural Eastern Washington, so I’m no longer currently taking clients.

For the photos of myself, I take them with a remote trigger and do the entire process alone (sometimes my husband helps). This includes costuming, hair, background sets, photography, and post image processing. I generally like to shoot with bright lights (high-key photography), few shadows, and a flat, single color background. It’s similar to many pin-ups from the past, especially since many were paintings. Using high-key photography and bright color contrast adds a cartoon and superhero quality to the photo that I love! I also like to shoot with lower light with a shout-out to the film noir style of the forties.

While women were the majority of clients, I also shot vintage and “GQ” style shoots for men, and age-appropriate children’s shoots (think sassy!).
