Even before Bunny Yeager was old enough to be a Pin-Up Girl, she wanted to be one. As a young teen, she kept scrapbooks of glamour poses of popular film stars like Rita Hayworth, Betty Grable, Lana Turner, Jane Russell, and Marilyn Monroe.

She studied the works of a number of artists who specialized in calendar art, learning the poses they painted of their models, the Peek-a-Boo poses that portrayed beautiful young models as happy, playful women who would be fun to be with, (The girl next door) certainly desirable, but not threatening to any man's ego. Using these "lessons", she became Florida 's most photographed model with her photos appearing in newspapers and magazines all over the world.

Because she knew how to pose well, after she changed careers and became a professional photographer, she was able to work with many young girls who had never modeled before, molding them into popular pin-up models. She discovered Maria Stinger ( Miami 's Marilyn Monroe), Bettie Page (Legendary Pin-Up of all time), Lisa Winters, a Playboy Playmate and Playmate of the Year, Carol Jean Lauritzen (for Howard Hughes, a legend himself), and many other young beauties.

Bunny Yeager was born in Wilkinsburg , PA. , just outside of Pittsburgh . Her father, Raymond Conrad Yeager, worked in an office for the telephone company, and later for Westinghouse Electric as an electrical engineer. Her mother, Linnea Yeager, was a typical stay-at-home housewife and had never worked at a regular job before or after she was married. Bunny's grandparents on her mother's side were from Sweden and her grandparents from her father's side were from Germany . Bunny had one brother who was born 7 years after her. His name was Raymond Carl Yeager.

Bunny and her family lived for many years in the small town of Pitcairn which was also close to Pittsburgh but more rural. Just as she was starting to enjoy being a teenager with many friends and getting ready to enter her senior year at Pitcairn High School, her parents made the decision to move to Miami, Florida, hoping the sunny weather would improve her father's health. It proved to be the right move for her family, but a poor one for Bunny. All the friends she grew up with were now out of her life and she had to enter her last year of high school knowing nobody.

Miami Edison Sr. High School was unbelievably huge to Bunny after leaving her small town high school behind. It was a difficult time, but after graduation she began a whole new chapter in her life.

Bunny began to blossom. She entered her first beauty contest and won. The judges told her they loved her smile and the “girl next door” look she had. Other similar victories came later. She took a fashion modeling course at Coronet Modeling School and Agency and worked her way towards being a top fashion model in the Miami area, and later becoming the most photographed model in Florida .

One day while sunning herself at Miami Beach , she met Chuck Schwind, a blonde, blue eyed, tanned body-builder. They started dating and Bunny found out he was in photography school. She agreed to come to one of his classes and pose for him and the other students because like most models, you always need more photos of yourself. She became so interested in photography after that one experience that she decided to sign up for the same course the next semester.

It wasn't long after that, she became a professional photographer while still taking the course. It all seemed to come natural to her. Color photography was new then and the instructor asked the class to shoot some color film over the weekend and bring it into the lab and develop it. The next week everyone brought their best photos back to the class for the rest of the class to see and have them critiqued by the teacher.

Bunny had a beautiful model friend, Maria Stinger. She took Maria to a tourist attraction called Africa, U.S.A. In Boca Raton , Fla. about an hour's drive from Miami . Bunny also made a bikini for Maria to wear. It looked like real leopard fur. When Bunny met the animal trainer there he showed her two stately full-grown Cheetahs on chain leashes. She was thrilled she was allowed to pose Maria between them for some photos. Neither Bunny nor Maria had ever been so close to any jungle animal till that day. They were both exhilarated by this fantasy experience.

Bunny proudly showed her color photos to the class which was mostly men. She could see by the expressions on their faces that they liked them. The teacher suggested she try to sell the shots to a magazine. He thought they were very commercial and would be saleable. The photos were shown to the photo editor of "Eye" Magazine who used one of the shots for their March 1954 cover.

She then discovered Bettie Page and decided to shoot something in her studio that she could offer to a calendar company. She sewed a Santa hat trimmed in Marabou fur (artificial). She then posed Bettie nude wearing only the Santa hat as her costume, on her knees with one hand up putting a ball decoration on a small white Christmas tree. After the photos were developed, she happened to be passing a newsstand and she noticed a new men's magazine called "Playboy". Leafing through its pages it dawned on her that maybe she should send the photos there instead of searching for a calendar company. She reasoned that a new publication might buy an unknown photographer's photos quicker than the calendar company. Making that decision was the best thing she could have done. Playboy bought one of the poses for their holiday issue, the first centerfold of many to come for Bunny.

Soon Bunny signed with a photo agent who suggested that she write a book about her techniques of photographing beautiful girls. Bunny hesitated at first because she had never written a book before. Her agent assured her it would be easy. He said, "Just write down the words you would say to someone if they were there with you." She did just that and the book,   "Photographing The Female Figure" was the first of 24 more books to come.

In 1959 she was chosen "Photographer of the Year" and shortly after she was selected as one of the top ten women photographers in the U.S. .

She continues to live and work in Miami , Fla. discovering and photographing pretty girls on the beach and in her studio.
