1950's B-Grade Movie Posters

Okay, I admit it, I have a pretty fun job.

Shopping for costumes, making costumes, playing dress-ups, baking cupcakes for high tea, serving tea out of beautiful tea sets, gossiping and giggling with clients and the Sherbet Birdie team, hair and makeup, bows, bubbles yada-yada-yada.

It's all a LOT of fun.

Then, just when you think my job's the funnest and how could it possibly be funner two clients walk through the doors and ask to do a 1950's b-grade movie poster inspired photoshoot.

I'm in heaven I thought.

I have only laughed that hard in another shoot and that was when we did the pillow fight shoot.

This was truly the raddest (yes folks, I said raddest, but it paints a good picture don't you think?).

Roz and Adrian and I spent some time sourcing references for our posters and when we had a plan of attack we forged forward and had a spectacular day. The shoot was a hoot and we were all in stitches for most of it. Melodramatic poses bring out the comedian in all of us I've learnt.

Below are two of the three posters we created, the third is for Roz's and Adrians eyes only. Sorry folks ,)

Happy Birthday Mandy

We were all recently charmed by a spectacular client Mandy who was marking her 50th birthday with a very special Sherbet Birdie photoshoot. Mandy insisted she wasn't a photogenic gal and that she had never seen a good photo of herself. Well Mandy we simply don't believe that! These photos were beautiful, and yes Mandy very humbly ate her words when she saw the proof and realised how good a photo she actually takes.

Mandy was interested in two themes. The first a boudoir theme with a beautiful new pleated gown that we made especially for the occasion – after all it was her 50th birthday, and the second a very playful cowgal. Both themes equally full of hutzpah! Here are just a couple to tease!

Well done Mandy

Holidays!

After a very big Chrissy rush for Sherbet Birdie photoshoots we are all taking a well-earned break. I chose Byron as my freedom destination, and as my luck would have it I have so far seen nothing but rain. So much for being cleansed of Chrissy madness by the ocean.

The good news is that I now have a chance to catch up on all my overdue posts! So I'm sitting here sipping a red and scratching update blog off my to-do list.

It's been quite some time since our last Veronicas Vs Streamer Bendy post and I did promise to upload the results of that photoshoot, but it's just going to take a little longer. Sorry Erinn and Jess!

Over the Chrissy craziness we had some very innovative photoshoot requests which means we have a stack of brand new backgrounds for future shoots (which means more fun for all our new clients). We more than doubled our previous background library and I have selected a few of my favourites to show off!

The first is of our cherished client Mel, incidentally Mel is also our client who sent us the whopping bunch of flowers posted further down on this page. Mel purchased a 15 month calendar. Yes folks, 15 months – why not hey! Below are a couple of my favs.

Darling Careena also had adorable ideas and did a spectacular job! Check out this homage to Mr Gil Elvgrin...

I'll be getting some more approvals to load more backgrounds in the new year so keep checking by.
