My name is Action Girl, and I'm a hot rod gal, scooterist, photographer, artist, and quite possibly one of the most fun people you'll ever meet.
For as long as I can remember I've been fascinated with all things vintage, especially pinups dating from the war years through the early sixties. I've made it my personal mission to make the pin-up look accessible to the modern girl wanting to recapture that demure, sweet and sexy elegance made popular in the past.
I strive to be THE BEST as what I do and so it's no accident that Atomic Cheesecake is one of the finest pin-up studios in Baltimore.
Here's what you can expect when you come here for a shoot:
- the largest selection of props, wardrobe, furniture, and backdrops in town.
- Expert posing assistance, coaching and direction that can help even the most inexperienced girl look like a pro!
- Stunning make-up, fantastic vintage hairstyling and period-perfect wardrobe styling.
- An experience like no other, working with someone who LOVES her clients, and works harder that anyone to make everyone look PERFECT.
- State of the art equipment, expert retouching, and affordable packages that are ALL INCLUSIVE.
- A fun studio atmosphere- I dare you to come here and NOT have a great time!
I shoot ALL KINDS of girls in many shapes and sizes, so don't be afraid of getting in front of my camera if you're a little curvy... in fact, for the eras i'm shooting, "skinny" wasn't really in fashion. My extensive wardrobe accommodates one of the largest size ranges in the business, from a size zero up to a dressmaker's size 18/20.
I do not shoot ANYONE under the age of 18, and I do check ID when I'm not sure.
So, you think you're ready to book??? Everything you need to know about shooting with me can be found on my Studio's website.
http://www.atomiccheesecakestudios.com Please read it FIRST and then ask questions. I get bombarded with messages asking questions that are very clearly answered there, and I've taken a lot of time to build a site that explains everything in detail.
I do VERY LIMITED TFCD work, and only when I feel like the model will add something significant to my portfolio. I've worked with hundreds of girls now, so I'm well past "portfolio building" at this point. If you think you have something outstanding to offer, contact me. The worst I can do is say no.
I have worked with over 200 models since I started this as a hobby in October of 2006. Below is a list of some girls here on Model Mayhem if you'd like to get their opinions on working with me.
