From my first shoot in her bedroom, to my most recent in her new larger then life studio Gretchen has been nothing short of amazing! Walking in the door seeing my name posted everywhere, the warm robe between sets, the thousands of outfits/shoes to choose from (thankfully they helped because I can't make a decision to save my life), being pampered in the make up chair, all the snacks and drinks being offered made all my nerves once again go away! They truly make you feel so welcome and beautiful, they help with everything and are honest about if they don't think a pose or outfit suits you. Revealing day was just as amazing, Gretchen and I were just chatting catching up and I kept looking at the TV, then after about the 3rd glance I realized it was my portrait on there!! I was in shock she once again made me look so elegant, classy and sexy all in one! I will never go to anyone else. It's truly a breath of fresh air walking in her studio each and every time!!

If I could describe my session with Gretchen and her team in one word: therapeautic. I came in not feeling my best, but had completely forgotten about because everyone made me comfortable and confident in myself. I could not stop smiling and laughing from having so much fun. I left the session feeling a whole lotta better about myself - and even more so when I saw my pictures! If I could go everyday, I would!

Let me just start this by saying Gretchen and her team are AMAZING!! The energy was beautiful, they made me feel welcome and comfortable. I have had the hardest time finding balance in my life for myself. Gretchen brought out my best side during this shoot. She made me feel comfortable in my own skin again, I havent felt this good to be seen in forever! I want to show my pictures off to everyone! Thank you a million times to the Pin Me Up Portland whole squad!

Gretchen and her team are the absolute best. Ahead of the shoot, Gretchen calmed all my nerves and assured me that the environment is empowering, supportive, and energizing. I'm someone who doesn't usually like to be in photos, but I wanted to overcome that and celebrate my body and treat myself. I felt very safe (and very hot!) and was able to channel a ton of confidence while having an incredible amount of fun. Gretchen pays attention to your comfort level with poses and vibes and encourages you to make sure you really love your outfit, your hair, everything. I felt like a celebrity getting my hair and makeup done and choosing my outfits and sets. I can't say enough good things about Pin Me Up Portland. You'll cry happy tears when you see your photos. I would (and will) do it again in a heartbeat.
