Congratulations (both for getting a new tattoo and for planning to show it to us all!)

I met a pinup photographer at First Friday. I thought her work was pretty good. And with her being a woman, there's probably a good bit less awkwardness in doing your first nude photoshoot by someone else.

I don't know her personally, but what I did see by her looked pretty good. Having a First Friday booth costs some money, so it's a bit more likely she's established and knows what she's up to.

JennJoy Photography. While her website seems rather tamed-down, the stuff she was hawking at her booth tended to be pin-up and budoir work. She probably doesn't want to scare off the moms and dads looking for family photos, as that's most photographers' bread and butter.

There's also the gals that made the 702 Subculture calendar. I dunno if they do other work on the side, but they might be worth looking into. Check out the Calendar links on their site.

Colleges tend to have photographers and artists looking for of-age models. Sometimes you might be able to find fliers if you poke around the art depts of UNLV and CCSN. Of course, when you're dealing with nude modeling and fliers, you want to be very careful in who you choose.

Let me know how it goes, whomever you pick. We get this kind of question a few times a year in the
the SGVegas group. I'd like to have a better idea of who to steer the wannabes and SGs that move here to.

Good luck!
