Classic Hollywood

Last month Hank and I decided to clean the dirt out from under our fingernails and don our Sunday best for a Classic Hollywood photo shoot at Darkbloom Imagery.  The studio is owned by Lolita Haze.   Having years of burlesque and pin-up experience in front of the camera, Lolita realized that she had a lot to offer by being behind the camera as well.  She has a great eye for detail and is able to capture an authentic Hollywood look.  Think back on Cary Grant and all his leading ladies.  Remember the intensity and romantic nature of their glossy, publicity shots?  Almost like you were peeking in on a private moment caught between too lovers?  That was the look and feel that Hank and I were after.  There are many photographers who can take pretty pictures, but we wanted a timeless photo, taken from the pages of Look magazine, circa 1948.  Well, okay, we were a little flexible on the exact year, but you know what I mean.


And we did a few solo shots as well.


It was a very fun afternoon.  Hank even admitted that he had a good time, trying not to snicker while gazing adoringly into my eyes and commenting between shots on how we needed to buy more grain for the sheep.  You can take the farmer off the homestead, but you can't...you know!  So now we have some beautiful photos to look back on in our Golden Years, proof that we were young once.  Proof that our farming days weren't completely spent covered in hay chaff and hauling wood.  It was fun to feel glamorous for a little while!

  2. Very nice pictures! You both look great. I think my husband and I would have been cracking up the whole time. I can relate to the talking about feed while you get your pictures taken. We are the same way!
