Welcome Misfits!

Who is the "Ambitious Misfit"?

Collette Lash is the Ambitious Misfit, and that's me. The wily blonde pictured to the left. Been an artist my whole life, this *really* is my full time gig, and I thank my lucky stars for it daily. The big lofty misfit dream is to publish a book of my photographs of men, women and child living in America's "New Old."

Where is Ambitious Misfit located?

The Ambitious Misfit home studio is located in sunny Valencia, California . However throughout the year I travel to different towns to offer the misfit treatment to all. I have become a frequent traveler to Nashville (TN), Las Vegas (NV), Logandale (NV), and Phoenix (AZ). If you would like me to visit your town, please send a message! Where do you go on travel shoots?

There are a handful of towns like Nashville and Vegas I travel to frequently. I am expanding the list of travel session destinations this year. I am currently looking at St. Louis, Seattle and Albuquerque. If you would like me to visit your town, please send a message! Do you offer a group rate?

At this time, I do not. How far out do I need to book? How do I book?

Usually about 3-4 weeks, however schedules flex throughout the year and the sooner you can pick your date the better. If you need your appointment and photos in a jiffy arrangements can be made to have them ready next day for a rush fee of $50. Send an email to contact@ambitiousmisfit.com Do I need to bring anything?

For Pinups: Not necessarily but it's recommend that you bring a few "back up" items like blue jeans, black heels and black undies. If you have something of your own you want to wear in your session of course bring it along.

For Kids: Yes, I do not stock a full kids wardrobe but I do have some items and many props and hats, fun things for them to play with. If your child is really into a pair of rain boots or a silly hat BRING IT! It might drive you crazy, but it really is "who they are" at that age and is something you will want to remember. Ideas for kids clothing: blue jeans and plain shirts always work for boys or girls. Stripes, plaids, anything "vintage" inspired, or "fancy dinner" clothes if you prefer more formal. Will your wardrobe fit me?

Wardrobe is provided for pinups, and there is a wide range of sizes for petite to plus-sized bombshells. Are you going to put my photos on the Internet?

All photos are private until you give the word. You'll see many of the same faces in the demo galleries because those clients have given their permissions for public use. Can you get rid of my scars, stretch marks, bruises, tattoos etc?

Absolutely, and at no additional cost. Retouching images is part of the package. Do you offer any other types of photography?

Yes, just send an email with what you are looking for and arrangements will be made.
