Hi, I’m Amelia Jean, new to pinup modeling this year. I didn’t seek out pinup modeling, it found me and once it did, there was no holding back. I grew up around auto-body shops and can remember from a young age the calendars and posters on the walls of the shops and couldn’t imagine I would be a part of it one day. The women were so beautiful! My real name is Amelia, but everyone called me Amy growing up. When it was suggested I pick a name for modeling, things just clicked and I chose my real name. Amelia always felt classic to me, which makes perfect sense now, as I’m a fan of all things classic and retro. Don’t get me wrong, I love doing all sorts of artistic photography and consider myself a bit of a chameleon trying new things. My biggest inspiration is Bettie Page. She was fearless, strong, creative and had an infectious smile. When I found out she made her own costumes, I was hooked! I love creating my own pieces when I can and I love to laugh and smile. I hope you enjoy following my journey!
