Family Fun

Timeless Memories, Captured with Heart and a Little Magic

“There is no such thing as fun for the whole family.” ~ Jerry Seinfeld

While Jerry is usually spot on, he’s wrong about this…a family session at Portland Pin-Ups is a blast for your whole family!

At Portland Pin-Ups, we believe every family deserves more than the standard “smile-and-snap” portrait. If your idea of family photos involves fluorescent lighting, stiff poses, and a rushed session at the mall, it’s time to experience something truly special—something joyful, authentic, and unforgettable.

We don’t do cookie-cutter. We create custom, heirloom-quality artworks that celebrate your family exactly as you are: full of love, laughter, personality, and a little bit of playful chaos. From classic, timeless portraits that will grace your walls for generations to bold, whimsical adventures—superheroes, vintage glamour, or wild Pacific Northwest outdoor sessions—we craft images that feel like you.

Our family sessions are designed to be fun from the very first moment. Mom gets the full luxury treatment: professional hair styling and makeup by Nicky and Erienne, transforming her into a radiant, confident bombshell. Dad can unwind with a cold beer or a glass of wine. The kids? They get to play, explore, and be themselves—no forced smiles required.

Then we step into the magic: expert posing by Mike Long (25+ years of making everyone look and feel their best), beautiful lighting, and that signature Portland Pin-Ups glow. Whether you’re dreaming of an elegant fireside classic, a superhero squad showdown, or a carefree outdoor moment against the stunning backdrop of Oregon’s forests and coastlines—we make it effortless, joyful, and utterly unique.

These aren’t just photos. They’re timeless artworks that capture the spirit of your family right now—the giggles, the hugs, the unbreakable bond—and turn them into cherished heirlooms you’ll treasure forever.

Ready to create family memories that feel as extraordinary as your love? Let’s make something wild, wonderful, and completely yours.
