Pin Up Styles
What is pin-up photography, anyway? It's a genre of photography - featuring Glamour or Fashion styled photos typically seen on the wall of a teen's bedroom or college dorm room. Hence the name pinup, as they are intended to be pined up on the wall. Pin-up photos first came into being in the early 1900s, though the term 'pin-up' didn't come into use until 1941. This kind of photography can be seen earlier, with roots in the 1890s. From modest to sexy there is a wide range of styles and time frames from the 1890's through the 1950's. Pinup can be reflective of the specific style including wardrobe, hair, and expression or they can be modern interpretations.
Step into our studio and travel back in time to the golden age of glamour, where every photograph tells a story of confidence, allure, and timeless beauty. Our pin-up photography sessions blend vintage aesthetics with modern sophistication to create stunning portraits that celebrate the art of classic pin-up while embracing contemporary interpretations.
We specialize in creating authentic pin-up experiences, working with professional hair and makeup artists who understand the distinct styling requirements of each era – from the Gibson Girl elegance of the 1890s to the playful sass of the 1950s. Our extensive collection of vintage-inspired props, backdrops, and set pieces helps create the perfect atmosphere for your chosen era and style.
What makes our pin-up sessions special is our attention to historical detail combined with our ability to make each shoot personally empowering. We guide you through classic poses and expressions that defined the pin-up era – from the subtle "over-the-shoulder" glance to the famous "cheesecake" pose – while ensuring you feel comfortable and confident throughout the session.
Whether you're drawn to the demure charm of early 1900s portraits, the bold glamour of 1940s Hollywood, or wish to create a modern fusion of vintage styles, we'll help you develop a concept that perfectly captures your vision. Each session includes wardrobe consultation to ensure authenticity in styling, and we can even connect you with vintage clothing resources if needed.
