Many people wonder why the unique portraits that we create are so different from the many other photographers out there. The answer is simple. First, all the ladies look relaxed, happy and like they are having a great time! Second, it’s the Portland Pin-Ups Magic….hair, make-up, lights, posing and custom artwork retouching.

Booking a session with Portland Pin-Ups is the first step to owning a one-of-a-kind artwork from the west coast’s leading pin-up artist, and the creative team that help create stunning artworks.

Each session begins with one of our amazing stylists pampering you with awesome 50’s hair and make-up artistry. Our on-set creative team includes professional stylists Nicky and Erienne, who not only give you a stunning make-over they also serve as your own personal Bombshell for the day, dedicated to ensuring your experience with Portland Pin-Ups is exciting, unique and special.

Mike Long is the founding artist of Portland Pin-Ups. Unlike many photographers, Mike began his career as a retoucher prior to Adobe’s release of Photoshop, which led him to pick up a camera. His knowledge of portrait enhancement is more extensive than the average photographer today. When comparing Mike’s often imitated work, his photography techniques are noticeable and differentiate him from the others.
