Q: Will my photos go onto the internet if I have a photoshoot with Pin-up Perfection?
A: We will only use your pictures online or in print if you sign a model release allowing us to use the images for promotional use.

Q: How long does it take to get the pictures back?
A: Turn around is currently about 4-6 weeks. We can accommodate for special deadline requests and offer a rush charge of 30$ if photos are needed quicker.
Q: What should I do to prepare for our shoot?
A: All things girlie! Shave your legs, underarms, bikini line. Moisturize your skin and paint your nails! Get lots of sleep, and eat, but avoid foods that will make you feel 'yucky'. Check your hosiery for runs and rips. On the day of your shoot avoid wearing tight clothing that will leave lines on your skin. If you are having your eyebrows waxed, have it done a few days before your appointment to avoid swelling and redness.
Hair: Please do not use a flat iron or wash your hair before your appointment as it makes curling difficult. Please come with dry hair. If you have certain products (i.e.: paste for short hair or wigs) please bring them.
Makeup: Please come with a clean face, or foundation and mascara at most. If you have sensitive skin or a preferred brand of foundation please bring it with you.
Q: Can my partner come and watch?
A: Unfortunately they may not stay because it puts a different element in to the shoot that can hinder bringing out the bombshell in you! They are more than welcome to drop you off, check out our studio and meet us to put them at ease.
Q: What should I bring to wear?
A: Dresses, garter belts, bras, underwear, corsets, costumes, bustiers, waist cinchers, fishnets, thigh-high stockings, bathing suits, cardigans, pencil skirts, high heeled shoes...anything vintage (1930 - 1960's) or vintage inspired, jewellery, accessories etc. The more you bring the better!
Q: I don’t have much to wear...do you have something I can wear?
A: Although we have a fairly large collection of garments and costumes for clients to wear from XS-3X, we recommend that every client come with at least their own basics...lingerie, undergarments and shoes (we have some in sizes 8-10) in case our collection does not meet your size, style or colour preference. If you would like an excuse to go shopping, check out Scout, Forever Yours Lingerie, pinupgirlclothing.com, New World Designs, Deluxe Junk, Mintage, Woo, Lace Embrace and Burcu's Angels.
Q: Is there anything else that I should bring to my shoot other than clothes, shoes, accessories etc?
