Strapped Photography

I cannot begin to tell you how much my wife and I loved having Gina shoot our wedding. We were introduced to Gina through a mutual friend and met with her to see if she was the right fit for us. Most of the pictures we saw were her pin-​up style (wow, va va voom!) but we wanted to make sure she would work for a wedding setting. Well, once we went through her other pictures we were sold. She takes the most beautiful pictures for weddings, engagements, baby pics, and so many more. She has a great eye and makes you feel very comfortable.
Our ceremony and reception was at a classic car museum which was the perfect backdrop for her (and our) style. She got to our venue early to setup and was working non-​stop to get all the action from the bride getting ready through the reception and everything in between. We had so many compliments from our guests about Gina and her ability to get some fun candid shots and some great posed shots too.
The pictures have turned our great and we are so happy that we had Gina there for us. We will use her again at for any other events we have and HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for that special touch.

Gina you are the best of best. You sure can work some magic. You are my new addiction. Can’t wait for the next photo shoot. Very professional and so naturally creative. Thank you for making me feel so beautiful cant stop staring at my pictures.

Ive been working with Gina as her hair and makeup artist gosh since 2009 I want to say! So im usually not one to be on the other end of the camera but I must say she does coach you on posing and facial expressions! Gina has done 2 of my maternity photos, 1 family session, and 2 other sessions as well! She truly makes you feel comfortable and takes her time and doesnt make you feel rushed! Her photo and editing skills are top notch!

i was excited and a little apprehensive when my good friend told me she booked a ‘pin-​up photo shoot’ for both of us as a christmas gift. of course, who doesnt want to look beautiful, right? but getting all dolled up and made to pose in front of a camera is way outside my comfort zone. but i knew we’d have a great time regardless… so let’s go!
i neednt be worried — Gina was awesome! she gives great direction on how she wants you to pose, and has a great eye for angles and poses that make the best of your figure. she also has a ton of cool vintage props to add to the scene. i felt completely comfortable the whole time. there are plenty of outfits to choose from, (almost all ‘50s/​retro) in varying degrees of conservative to risqué, but you can also bring your own clothes if you prefer.
hair and makeup: loved it! we were given some magazines to flip through to pick a hairstyle. i opted for jelly rolls, and wondered to myself how exactly was the makeup & hairstylist gonna will my hair into such a structure. well, not only did my hair look retro-​glamourous, but my makeup (including long fake eyelashes and fire engine red lips — woohoo!) was stunning. i could get used to having this done quite often :)
i havent gotten the photos to pick my edits yet, but from what Gina showed me on her camera, i know i’m going to be thrilled.
thanks, Strapped!
