Do I need an appointment?
No appointment is needed, but would be appreciated for groups of 10 or more.

How do the costumes work?
Most of our costumes are split backed, and can go on right over your street clothes.  Some costumes will require you to change, but we have several fitting rooms for your convenience.

Do you have a costume to fit me?
YES.  We have a huge selection of costumes from infants, to adult XXXL.  We also can accommodate guests in wheel chairs.  You CAN have your photo taken here!

Can I choose the era I want?
YES.  You can choose from one of our 12 stages, and over 50 themes!  Step up to our authentically recreated 1870 Rattlesnake Saloon Bar, or next to our original antique Wheel of Fortune in our Casino set.  Relax in our authentic western Bath Tub, or pose as pirates on our Treasure Island set.  These and many other options are available.

How long does it take?
Your pictures are ready in approximately 5 minutes once you have selected which proof you like the best.  We suggest allowing approximately 30 minutes in total.

Is there a per person charge or minimum purchase required?
There is no minimum purchase charge, sitting fee, or per person charge for groups of 6 or less.  For 7 or more persons, in a photo, we do have a low minimum purchase requirement for your total purchase.  You can use it any way you like, including adding a frame.  For example, the minimum purchase for a group of 9 is only 45.00.

How many people can fit into a single group photo?
We can accommodate groups of up to 32 in a single photo.

Can our family pet be included in the photo?
In many cases, the answer is yes.  Well-behaved dogs are welcome.  Please contact us for other pets. We would appreciate your making an appointment if you will be bringing in a pet.

What size photos are available?
We make prints from wallet thru 20 x 24.  The most popular sizes are 5x7 and 8x10.

How much do the photos cost?
Prices start at only 16.99 for a 4x5 photo with up to 6 persons in the photo.  That is for the first photo only.  Additional copies of the same size or smaller are only ½ price.  This ½ price special applies to all of our photo sizes – even our 20x24 prints!  Please see our separate page on photo prices for more details.

Do you have photo packages?
We have many photo packages available starting at only 29.99.  For example, Package 2 includes 1 5x7 and 4 wallets.  We also have a great special.  Buy an 8x10 print for 29.99, and all your additional packages are only 14.99 each.

What if I don’t like my photo?
Your complete satisfaction is guaranteed.  If you do not like your photos, for any reason, you do not have to purchase anything.   We have been taking Old Time Portraits for over 27 years, and have been in photography for decades more.  We pride ourselves in making great photos, but we want you to be completely happy with the results.
