Grinkie Girls - All Ages Are Encouraged

We're well over the 150 mark - and in that time - we've photographed  a bevy of pin up beauties. Pin up photography sessions are for everyone. Young and old and in between, seeing yourself through the lens of Grinkie Girl Photography is life changing.

Something New for Date Night? Pin Up Portraits!

Rick and Melissa have been happily married for years, raising four children. To keep things fun and interesting, Rick wanted to plan a special date night for the two of them. Something different to get away from the laundry, dishes and mostly the awesome four kids.

He was struggling to think of something new they could do together when he read an article in the Star Tribune about MnUps Magazine and Grinkie Girls Photography. Perfect!

He set up a shoot with Christi, packed wine, glasses, fancy cheese and crackers and off they went. Watching Melissa go through the transformation from everyday beauty to pin up model was a fun experience for both of them. Great date - and terrific pictures to go with the memories.

Three Generation Photo Shoot

by Christi Williams, Photographer

I am not going to lie, I'd been looking forward to this shoot for weeks. Kristyn was at a pinup workshop with me when I was talking about how much I was looking forward to an upcoming shoot with a 70 year old.. She immediately thought of her sassy 86 year old mother-in-law. When she suggested a three generation shoot - I nearly passed out with joy. How fun would that be?

About a month later we had the shoot and had a blast! She wanted to create a special memory for her kids with her mother-in-law and ended up creating a special memory for all of us. The girls loved getting all dressed up and having their hair done up fancy. I definitely see more multi-generational shots in my future.

"What do you give a mother-in-law who has everything for her 86th birthday? Photos to cherish and memories to last a lifetime!! I can't express enough what a wonderful experience we had at Grinkie Photography. The time flew by so fast. Christi Jean Williams thought of everything. It was a full day of laughter and fun. Everyone should have the experience of being a Grinkie Girl!"     --Kristyn
