ABOUT

YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER
Hi! My name is Marilee Caruso. I specialize in creating vintage inspired pinup, glamour & boudoir photography for all types, from seasoned models to first timers. I love creating the perfect theme or style that fits your personality. Cheesecake cutie, bombshell Bettie, classic starlet, or naughty vixen. I offer studio, on location, and hot rod photo shoots, as well as retro inspired hair and makeup.
I was born and raised in Northern California near the beautiful Bay Area and am now located in Sacramento. While attending classes at Solano Community College in 2004 I took my first black and white film photography class and fell in love. From the very beginning my work was inspired by the style and art of the mid 1900's and the family photos I always loved to look at as a child.
Once I realized I was hooked I attended the Academy of Art in San Francisco where I honed my skills with the camera, lighting, and retouching. Now an internationally published photographer, I shoot with all kinds of private and commercial clients.
Let me bring out your inner bombshell!
