Celebrity Photographers - Jenny McCarthy

When 1994's Playmate of the Year told us she had discovered a potential new Playmate, we listened. On an episode of Party @ the Palms, host Jenny McCarthy hosted a poolside casting call and selected gorgeous model Jennifer Madden to be her subject. Jenny and her E! team then whisked Jennifer ...off to L.A. and joined the Playboy crew at the Mansion, where Jenny assumed her position behind the lens. With Hef's house as the backdrop and the beautiful blonde and busty Jennifer as her model, history was made.

Jenny wasted no time getting started around the Mansion's backyard pool. It was as if she was reading our minds when she hollered, "I need to see more boobs!" Hef would have been proud. Jennifer's tiny pink polka-dot bikini became an afterthought as Jenny fired shot after shot and built a rapport with her model that most seasoned photographers would envy. "You can't have her too sultry, Hef doesn't like sultry," Jenny directed, with an obvious game plan for the shoot.

Then the mood of the shoot changed when Jenny barked, "Okay, where are my watermelons?" Within minutes Jennifer was sans bikini top but plus two large melons. Soon the lovely Jennifer was wrestling two blowup snakes and dolphins. When Jenny commanded her crew to break out the fake moustache, butcher apron and raw steak we weren't sure whether to call the health department or the psych ward. But the focus returned to the task at hand and we were back in business.

Jenny used her modeling expertise to help newcomer Jennifer strike just the right pose. Jenny arched and threw back her head, showing Jennifer what to do. Both model and photographer gained confidence in themselves and each other with every click of the camera shutter, and we knew we were going t end up with sexy, if not "too sultry", photos worthy of Playboy. As the sun set and the shoot wrapped for the day, we knew we had all just experienced a typical day in the life of Jenny McCarthy.
