The concept of this photo was to create a vintage-meets-modern patriotic pinup girl, an iconic image that empowers the average American woman. This image can be interpreted many different ways, especially with all the women’s topics brought up this election year. And I will leave the interpretation up to the viewers. As an artist I enjoy the controversy and conversation about my image’s meaning. On the other hand, we can all agree that it is a very patriotic image. Cassy even sent some poster-sized prints to our troops deployed overseas as her little piece of patriotic support from back home. To get to where I am today took a lot of sacrifice, hard work, drive and never giving up! Well, I did the college thing, graduated with a degree in graphic design and went through a few great design jobs, but I always felt like there was something more meaningful I was meant to do. I wanted a more passionate challenge. And at the time, I was doing photography on the side here and there, but I hadn’t realized my true passion just yet. It wasn’t until I began dabbling in women’s portraiture that I realized how much I loved being a photographer. And I really started to fall in love with this type of portrait photography as well. As silly as it may sound, it is so rewarding seeing how the photos make the woman feel so glamorous and confident about themselves.

In July of 2010, I launched the official brand of my women’s boudoir and pinup photography, Bad Girl Boudoir. I got so busy taking on photography clients after work and on the weekends that after months of planning and getting my finances in order, I decided to take the leap into self-employment! I left my full-time day job in Lindsay February 2011 to pursue my passion! Photographer, Pullen
