Watch Out Bettie Page! - {PIN-UP} Photo Shoot for Business Brand // Living The Dream (Vol. 3)


A {Pin-Up} has the perfect combination
of CLASSY and SEXY mixed together.
It's the best kind of HOTNESS;
a signature cocncoction, if you ask me!

I've always been fascinated by vintage pin-ups! Since I was a teenager and a young artist I found myself sketching and painting classic images of women like Marilyn Monroe. My decor and fashion sense have always been inspired by vintage themes. When the skinny jean and legging look hit the runway it was just like having the 50's cigarette pant back on the radar. Since this theme and look are a big part of my personality, I thought it would be ideal to develop my business brand around the same retro, vintage style!

{A Little Business History} My business was formerly known as the "SODAPOPSHOP" because I was a muralist for a couple of years and specialized in themed rooms for nurseries and kid spaces. I wanted a fun theme for my business because I had more fun with branding and marketing that way. That is how the name "The FizzyArtist" was created. Mostly because http://www.fizzyartist.com/ was an available domain for my website. My business tagline was: "I add the FIZZ, you get REFRESHED!"

The last two years, my business has been solely dedicated to my line of custom glassware and I have wanted to create a fun new look for the FizzyArtist brand. I found a local photographer, Traci Palmer through a friend of mine and hired her to do a fun pin-up-inspired photo shoot to use the images for marketing purposes. 
To prepare for the photo shoot I put three fun outfits together with my own wardrobe ... shoes and all! Yes, that's how much I love the pin up look. I did, though, go out and purchase a cute coral flower pin for my hair. I decided to get my hair done professionally for an affordable price at my regular salon. This took a load of pressure off of me! I met my stylist, Lindsay Mathison that day and we hit it off! She did an outstanding job and really polished off my entire look.
 
Here are some of the fun

How You And Your BRIDESMAIDS Can Be {CAMERA} Ready! // Wedding Day Prep (Vol. 4)



1... 2... 3... SMILE!
There can be so much time spent in planning and preparing for the entire day of your wedding experience. One of the most important details in your plans is creating the most "picture-perfect looks" for such a special day.

"The BRIDE always has to look the BEST, that's just a rule!" - Me (The FizzyArtist)

Next in line you have the groom, bridesmaids, groomsmen, parents, and oh yeah... don't forget the adorable flower girl(s) and ring bearer(s). Everyone, including your guests will strive to look their "WEDDING BEST." It can almost feel like you're attending your high school prom all over again!

Everyone will want to look their "wedding best" because of the constant presence of many cameras. There will be countless moments throughout the day that you will want to be documented forever. No matter who you are that day, when you hear the word, "SMILE," you will want to stop, pose and flash those pearly whites!

Jessica Cooper, one of my Fizzy Brides had a beautiful, glamorous wedding last winter. She had ordered the FizzyArtist custom champagne glasses and water goblet for the ladies in her bridal party. Recently she sent an e-mail to me with pictures of her and the girls getting ready to LOOK their BEST, with custom glasses in hand! What a fun way to pose for the camera. Instead of saying "Cheese!" the girls can say "Cheers!" Check out these fun photos and how beautiful Jessica (the bride) was that day!

"Bethany, The glasses were a HUGE hit!!!!!
Check out the pictures :)"
 - XO, Jessica now Cooper!




Jessica (the Bride in white) and her ladies saying "Cheers!"

Don't they look like sisters?!
 Another great gift idea for your

wedding is a "Camera-Ready Kit"
with a custom cosmetic bag
full of wonderful beauty treats!

Wedding Day Prep: Hair, Makeup, Robes and don’t forget the CHAMPAGNE!


Being a bridesmaid comes with lots of fun pre-wedding activities: the showers, the bachelorette party, the wedding rehearsal. But, one of the most fun and memorable parts of being a bridesmaid is right before the wedding when all the bridesmaids get together with the bride for some wedding beautification!

This wedding-prep time is a scene usually consisting of clouds of hairspray, curling irons and nail polish, as well as laughter, fun, tears, and pre-wedding excitement!

A recent Fizzy Bride got ready for her big day with her bridesmaids while adding a little champagne and the FizzyArtist's champagne glasses for each girl!

"The girls had a great time!" The bride said that each one “loved their glasses!!” According to the bride, the glasses were a “nice surprise and such a unique gift!” The matching robes and custom glasses made for some great photo opps!

The bride also said that her bridesmaids, “sipped champagne while having makeup applied and hair styled. They then carried them all evening during the reception. What a special keepsake!”




These personalized glasses are made to look like each individual with a customized cartoon portrait. They are also customized with the wedding colors, dresses, flowers and wedding date!
 
Check out these fun wedding day prep goodies we found on Etsy!






Make the getting ready process even more fun for your bridal party with these girly goodies and you will create more wonderful memories for your special day!

Cheers!
