People come for the photos, then come back for how the session made them feel.
A confidence-first pinup session that’s fully guided, privacy-safe, and designed to make you feel seen—no modeling experience required.
I’m Tom Gregory, a pinup expert serving Columbia, Lake Murray, and Charlotte. My superpower isn’t the camera—it’s helping everyday women feel genuinely seen. I’m a husband and father, a hype man, and a stickler for details like fingertip angles and vintage-correct curls. If you can breathe, I can pose you.
Meet Tom - Your Pinup Photography Expert
- “Good girls don’t do that.”
- “You used to look good.”
- “Why do you need attention?”
- “That makes me uncomfortable.”
If you’ve ever turned yourself down to keep the peace, this is your notice.
You’re not too much.
You’re not done.
And you don’t owe anyone your invisibility.
It’s for women who were slowly trained to disappear—
not all at once, but gradually.
Car lines. Compromises. Responsibilities.
Gray sweatpants that stopped being comfortable and started being armor.
Soda City Pinup is not for women who are trying to be “appropriate.”
It’s for women who were told to quiet down, cover up, settle in, and be grateful.

S.L.
Tom guided me through every pose. I walked in nervous and left feeling iconic. I never thought I’d love photos of me. Now I can’t stop showing them off.
