“If you are on the fence about it just say yes! I was drawn to the photos of the other beautiful women on the website when I started becoming interested in a photoshoot. They looked so confident and comfortable in the pictures. I recently celebrated a milestone and wanted these pictures to look back to and remember fondly. Since the very beginning I was given pointers on outfits that photograph well. My hair and makeup looked so gorgeous, I wish I could replicate. I had assistance getting in and out of poses, I felt extremely comfortable. Everything was so easy and smooth. I laughed the whole session. The photos were even better than I could have hoped for. Thank you Portland Pinups for making me look unforgettable. “ ~ Serina

“I’ve had the pleasure of doing 2 pinup sessions with Portland Pinups.  My first one, I entered the room with all my insecurities.  Those quickly faded because of the environment that Portland Pinups provides.  Mike and Nicky were so welcoming, caring, encouraging, and fantastic at building confidence.  With their magic, they took this tomboy and made her a pinup.  5 years later, I’m still blown away at the artistry looking at the prints I gifted my husband. The second visit, I brought less insecurities with me.  This time, I wanted to cosplay Velma as a pinup.  Erienne and Mike magically brought my ideas to fruition.  Again, Portland Pinups made me feel beautiful.  Not just feeling beautiful but making me believe it. When I talk to other women and they tell me they’ve lost their spark, I tell them about Portland Pinups.  They have a way of sweeping away the insecurities and bringing out your beauty and spark. Definitely would book a 3rd session!” ~ Angela

“Lights, Camera, Action! I was a glamorous Hollywood Star for the day! From getting hair and makeup professionally done and giggling through outfit changes, the entire experience had me wanting to quit my day job and be a movie star. Portland Pin-Ups took the lead and allowed me to enjoy being in the moment, my moment. Mirroring the incredible photo shoot, the end results were jaw dropping, Mike’s editing is truly a work of art. Every woman deserves to look and feel like the star of the show, and Portland Pin-Ups has perfected that experience and turns it into art.” ~ Jamie

“My photo session was so much fun and the photos turned out unbelievably better than I thought they would (or could)!

“Mike made the experience fun, comfortable and very priceless. The photos came out amazing and I cannot wait for my order to be done!! I would recommend going all out for this because its a once in a life time experience and well worth the cost!” ~ Katrina

“This experience truly was a highlight in my life thus far. Mike is a humorous professional who makes you feel like the most glamorous person! Everyone who works with him to “make the magic happen” are professional and fun to be around. I highly recommend this experience to everyone! Thank you Mike and crew for making me feel pin-up perfect for a day!” ~ Carol

“If you’re looking for an amazing, fun, skilled photographer, then you need to come to Portland Pin Ups! My session with Mike was was wonderful from the very first moment I contacted him. He took time to listen to what I wanted from the session and worked with me to create the perfect photos. I feel like he spent time matching his photography to my personality and the photos reflect who I am. I felt so comfortable at the shoot and Mike had me cracking up the entire time, keeping all of those nervous jitters away. Having the make-up artist helped me not worry about makeup and made the transitions between outfits timely and worthwhile. I can’t believe how Mike transformed me from my average, daily appearance to a photographed work of art! Mike is the most amazing photographer and I cannot wait to be back in his studio again (hopefully I won’t have to wait too long!)” ~ Myranda

“This was an experience of a lifetime! My photos are absolutely amazing and worth every penny! Mike is great at what he does and made me look and feel beautiful. It was the most fun I’ve had in a long time, and my boyfriend and I LOVE all the photos. Thanks again Mike, you rock!” ~ Alyssa

“Ladies, treat yourself to a session at Portland Pin Ups because you’re worth it! Mike Long is a riot to work with, and he’s magic with what he does! Nicky, one of the Bombshells, did an amazing job with hair, make-up, and outfit selection. This was my second visit, and Ethan Johnstone had his senior photos done by Mike.” ~ Leslie

“I’m not sure I have the words to describe this experience. It’s really hard to feel comfortable hanging out with strangers in your underwear. Especially when one of them has a camera. Somehow the whole team has this innate ability to put you at ease from the moment you walk in the door. You’ll feel like you’re visiting old friends. Pampered and only compliments, never judgements.” ~ Kelly

“This is one of the most empowering experiences I’ve had as a woman. You get the opportunity to bring out your inner pinup and showcase your sassiness. From your initial consult with Mike he’ll build a trust and comfort with you. BTW he’s hilarious. The day of the shoot you are treated to hair and makeup, a stylist, and a day filled with laughter. Then to come back and see the photos is such an amazing opportunity. Great staff, amazing experience, and Beautiful pieces of art” ~ Alicia
