Bunny Yeager- 2nd Annual Florida Burlesque Festival

This year the Florida Burlesque Festival, which features performers from all over the world was an endearing tribute to the late Bunny Yeager who died at the age of 85 this year. Bunny was famed for photographing the legendary Betty Page out of Miami Beach, FL. At that time Bunny was a model herself and didn't care for the pictures that other photographers would take of her, so she started taking her own and fell in love with photography. She then started taking pictures of other performers to expand her skills.

Yeager worked with numerous models over the years, but said that Page was uncommonly cooperative. "It was like us doing a dance together," Yeager said in an interview last year in the Sun Sentinel newspaper in Florida. "I would snap my fingers and she would do exactly what I told her to do: 'Stand on your toes. Kick your leg in the air. Jump in the air.'"

In true Bunny style, the guys and girls of this years performance gave their all!

Reinventing retro and vintage clothing with Rit Dyemore

From drab to fab with Rit Dyemore! Reinventing retro and vintage clothing Article by: Ashleigh Simon Videos and photography by: La Ren Originals How often do you look in your closet and think, “I wish i could update my wardrobe.”? Do you have vintage or retro pieces that are stained or just unflattering? No need to buy new clothing, you just have to get creative! If you have a dress that has sleeves, and have gotten your use out of it, that's when it's perfect to cut the sleeves off and make it a summer dress. Another option would be to add length or shorten a piece. Doing things like this will keep your wardrobe current for each season. I'm sure most of you have that one dress you wore once, and it's been sitting in your closet since side ponytails were cool. Sometimes all you need is a broach, flower, or adding a nice trim.

Outdoor portrait photography Guide- My recent portrait session with Shawna Hoffman

Shooting outdoors on location can have its challenges at times. Anything from weather, either ongoing or previous, to other people on the location can either aid or hinder your shooting process.
