Meet @juliaboggio! Warning… fun required.

As is the custom on Thursday’s here at Pay It Forward, we like to shine the limelight on some fabulous Photographer Twitter follows that you may not have discovered on your own.  Usually, unbeknownst to them… What always amazes me about Twitter is that it makes the world get smaller.  That and YOU WILL COME ACROSS THE COOLEST PEOPLE!  No. Not Elvis…read on, I beg you;)

This week’s Twitter Tog spotlight brings us over the pond to the mesmerizingly fun images of London’s wedding and portrait photographer, Julia Boggio, (a.k.a @juliaboggio). Rare is she in blending sweet and salty in her images with demure brides, plump infants, swanky couples, and tastefully alluring throwback and hot contemporary boudoir.  {you will love her website}

Julia considers herself a wedding, portrait and commercial photographer but instead she’s got a knack for capturing the essence of play. What I marveled at in her images is the amount of downright merriment that oozes from them.  I was captivated by how much fun jumped out of the images, pulled you by the hands and brought you in to share the vim of the moment.  You can see her describe  her signature vintage boudoir shoot process {here}.  I gather that these dress-up, sultry, throwback, shoots are a complete hoot. (I WANT ONE!) She won’t take the tired old “I don’t look good in photographs” excuse.  She says, “Everyone… looks great in my photographs!”  Her work has a high style meets recess mood to them.

Here are a few images you’ll see on your trip through her galleries…

Gracious, go-get’em, gregarious people attract me like a magnet.  Julia is all three.  She reached out and connected with me on Twitter showing she she values the personal in social media.  Like her photography her tweeting style is playful, saucy, and intelligent.  You’ll like her.  I have added her to my list of people I’d love to hang with in real life.  Definately, in London.  So check Julia out and tell her the fine folks at PIF Photo said a jolly hello!

Shannon - Julia,

Did you rent those gorgeous vintage pin up costumes from a costume place, or did you go out into London to find them yourself? This is a style I’ve been wanting to emulate for awhile, and I keep wondering how to have the “1940′s vintage pin up” costumes in stock to fit a wide variety of women of different sizes!

LOVE your work!

Shannon
