Located in Downtown Garden Grove overlooking Historic Main Street, our studio will transport you back to height of the Victorian era. Complete with traditional furnishings, backdrops and equipment, we will recreate the same studio shots that make the tintypes and ambrotypes of the 19th century so distinctive.

Each session is a relaxing, private environment where you can become the Civil War hero, Gunfighter, Burlesque dancer of a yesteryear or the Airship Captain of the past that never was. Feel free to bring any outfit or impression or several. We have a large, private dressing room for your use. 

During each session, you will be able to see each image within minutes and your satisfaction is our goal.

Traditional Setting

Our studio is outfitted with traditional furnishings and backgrounds and modern lighting to shorten normally long exposure times.

Traditional Equipment

We have several cameras that include original cameras over 100 years old, high-quality reproduction cameras and original 19th century lenses to create images that Photoshop cannot reproduce.

A Window Into the Past

This is the view through the focusing glass our large view camera. This is the same view photographers of 160 years ago would be looking at.
