How It Works

Our journey together begins with a video call, allowing us to connect and answer any questions you might have. If you decide to book a session, we schedule your Creative Day for the photography. On this day, come with your suitcase of outfits, and our stylists will transform you into a breathtaking pin-up. Mike leads the session with relaxed and fun posing techniques, ensuring hours of enjoyment and capturing beautiful portraits. A week later, you'll return for the Portrait Reveal, an ordering session to choose your favorite poses to be turned into unique artworks.

For out of town ladies, your Portrait Reveal can be expedited and take place the next day.

  • Yes! Anyone really can be a pin-up. If you don’t have the classic hourglass figure, there are many other poses that can show you off to your best and sexiest! Mike has spent years perfecting the art of posing a lady to show her absolute best, posing isn’t just about where to put your hands and which way to look, it’s about how comfortable you feel inside, and you will be having so much fun on-set that you won’t even realize you are being posed and having your photograph captured – you will leave the studio looking and feeling fabulous, and will end up owning a series of portraits that show the very best version of YOU that you can be.

  • Every pin-up session includes professional hair styling and make-up artistry with our amazing creative team. Nicky and Erienne have been Portland Pin-Ups Bombshells for over 10 years and took over the styling for the studio in 2016 and have taken us to new heights of gorgeousness! Not only that, they will be on-set for your entire session to fluff outfits, fix bra straps and adjust stocking tops for you, and will also make sure your make-up is sharp for every pose and may also change your hair styling for several different looks!

  • We don’t have a rack of outfits here at Portland Pin-Ups. Our pin-up sessions are custom and unique to each client and we want the final portraits to reflect YOU. If we had outfits here, we’d have to have one of every single size, and you’d be wearing clothing that many ladies have worn before you…ewwwww!

  • Portrait enhancement is the mark of a true artist. Every single portrait that leaves our studio receives hours of love and care from Mike using his 25+ years of retouching experience. The “Portland Pin-Ups look'“ is bright and fun, and everyone receives our famous skin smoothing, and yes, we may reduce wrinkles and remove cellulite, and we take care of muffin tops. We promise that you will be thrilled with your final artworks, without thinking…”that doesn’t look like me”

    While Adobe Photoshop seems to be given free with a box of cereal these days, that doesn’t mean that photographers who use it are skilled with the art. Mike has been a digital retoucher since before Photoshop was even born, and helped lead the digital revolution. He has worked with clients such as Banana Republic ,Nike, Adidas, Abercrombie and Fitch and Apple. Rest assured, your portraits are in safe hands.

  • We create custom, one of a kind artworks. When you commission Portland Pin-Ups to capture your beauty, we promise to return artworks showing how amazing you are, and that you will cherish for the rest of your life. We promise you this…YOU are worth it.

    Our 2023/2024 session fees, which include professional hair styling and make-up artistry as well as time and talent on session day is $495. Artwork investment begins at around the price of a good tattoo.
