Jolene Maria Thomas

Owner / Photography Director / Boutique Boudoir Extraordinaire

The spark

It all started with a big booty and a long, twisted journey of self-love.

As a voluptuous girl obsessed with marketing, Jolene has always found it strange that hating ourselves always seems to be the core message we’re repeatedly bombarded with day in, and day out. You see it in movies, on tv, in ads, and worst of all – sometimes during intimate chats with the people we love most.

A rebel at heart, Jolene knew something had to be done to transform the narrative and so she started Pinup Parlor with that exact goal in mind. It's her way of giving a massive middle finger to the norm and bringing a little more beauty into the world.
These days, it’s undeniable that loving yourself fiercely is the single most defiant act of them all, and she's here for it!

The pinup and boudoir photographic art Jolene provides is a beautiful opportunity for you to create something special while simply appreciating your body.  It's your chance to celebrate everything that makes you, you- rather than hiding it all away.

Pinup Parlor is the perfect space to practice that specific type of self-gratitude with no bounds. The photos are just a bonus physical reminder of a few steps you took along your unique voyage.
