The Experience
How it Works
Step 01
Getting comfortable, let's make a plan!
We want to make your pinup photoshoot experience as comfortable and enjoyable as possible and that starts with having a shared vision for the final photos. What set do you want to shoot on? Do you have wardrobe options? Will you bring some of your own props or do you want certain ones available? Peruse the photos on this site to get an idea of what we have to offer. If you'd like to develop a new set, reach out and we can talk!
On your shoot day, when you arrive, we'll take some time to chat and get to know each other. We'll show you around our studio and let you get familiar with the space.
Step 02
Being your beautiful self
Once you're comfortable, we'll start taking photos! Our posing coach will be on hand to help you find the perfect poses and expressions to capture the essence of the midcentury pinup style. We'll use a variety of vintage props and lighting techniques to create the perfect atmosphere.
We have add-on hair and makeup services available by a team of vintage-styling geniuses! Let us know if that is something you like to consider to bring your images to the next level!
Step 03
Selection and Editing
After your photoshoot, we'll carefully select the best images and send you a digital proof sheet. From there, you will select your favorites for us to retouch. When we retouch your photos, we strive to retain all of your natural beauty and character, not turn your skin to plastic. The result is like having a great skin day.
Step 04
Delivery
Once your chosen photos are edited to perfection, we'll share the full-quality images with you via an online gallery. Some of our packages include a printed pinup poster but we can discuss adding on prints to any package. If you would like to be featured in Pinup Life Magazine, we will share our upcoming issues and decide which on to place your pictures in!
Set Themes
We offer a wide range of themes for our pinup photoshoots, with over 12 options to choose from. Each theme comes with a variety of props and backgrounds to make your photos unique and personal. They are featured throughout this website! We encourage you to pick the theme that best suits your style and personality, so you can feel comfortable and confident during your photo shoot.
