My friend Sarah is a local Bay area Burlesque dancer. She made her way through my friend Dottie Lux’s School of Shimmy. I took her pictures at the end of those classes and we’ve kept in touch.

She’s put together a new act to a Blondie song and wanted pictures of the outfit in its various states. Using her costume, and the beer she brought over as payment for my services, we pulled this together.

I did this shoot for a couple who are getting married. They love the show mad men and wanted to do a mad men themed shoot. This is my favorite shot of the day. Tiga the dog was a wonderful incidental model in this shot.
