First of all, this is not your typical cheesy…read morelittle old west portrait studio where you throw on some shredded saloon hall costume that ties in the back, throw a leg over a chair and look like you're slugging back a bottle of JD. This place is first class. It's located on the quaint main street of historic mining town, Central City. When it's time for your portrait sitting, they lock the shop door, so it's ONLY your time and you get full attention and privacy so that there are no onlookers gawking. It's a fairly large studio with beautiful back drops, authentic antiques, accessories and a huge selection of vintage clothing, shoes, hats, gloves, suits etc and they're clean and well cared for. There's an actual dressing room! Milda, who is the owner, photographer and overall artistic genius, (with an adorable European accent) makes sure you look just right for the portrait. She takes her time to make sure every last detail is perfect. We were tired of the boring saloon hall photos you see everywhere, so we opted for a more refined Victorian tea look. Milda gave us the exact style photos we wanted and I couldn't be more pleased with them. I now have a special and unique keepsake of me and my mother! Together, with her husband and co-owner, they share so much about the history of Central City and make the entire experience authentic. Now for the photos. AMAZING!! The prices were very reasonable, so much so, that I bought a copy of every shot. I would highly recommend checking out the gallery of photos on her website so that you can see the quality of these vintage style portraits. I will definitely be coming back to this place, I loved it!

I spent months looking for the perfect photographer that would enable us to take the beauty of Hawaii with us wherever we went next. When I found Stormy, I fell in love with her unique and beautiful style. I am a lover of candid photography and did not want the standard posed shots, instead I wanted shots that reflected our family: full of energy and fun. When I spoke to Stormy, she totally got what I wanted and was incredibly helpful and patient on the phone and by email with regards to location and choice of outfits, offering her suggestions and feedback. The actual session itself was such fun. Stormy was relaxed, professional and very patient with my very active children. She managed to keep up with them, which is impressive especially with a camera in hand! Stormy allowed my children to be themselves. They got dirty and wet and all the smiles she captured were genuine. I'm not sure there are many kids who enjoyed a photography session as much as this one! When I saw the images she captured for us, I burst into tears for Stormy totally captured the true essence of us. The images were everything I had dreamt of and more. They were perfect. The feedback we have had from family and friends has been amazing. Everyone loves the images and they will forever remind us of this beautiful island. Thank you, Stormy, for the memories.
