One of the Most Memorable Things to do in Virginia City, Montana

Established during the gold rush era in 1864, this is a place to make lifelong memories in the tradition of the old west. Stop by for a birthday, wedding, or special occasion family photoshoot. We welcome the happy couple, newborn, obedient pet, or large group to commemorate the day with a picture.

Come visit us for an Old-Time Family Photoshoot, See How You Would Have Looked…

Offered in a range of Victorian, Western, and Steampunk costume styles, we dress you up from head to toe as an Outlaw, Fancy Lady, Dapper Gambler, Cantina Girl, Mountain Man, Western Family, or Bride and Groom, just like they did back in the old Montana ghost towns! Put on a straight face and imagine what it would’ve been like to live through those rough and rowdy times, then smile every time you look back at your photos.


Whether you live in Montana or are passing through and looking for things to do in Virginia City, we send you away with a memorable photo right then and there, or a flash drive to keep for later printing. We also offer special occasion packages by request at any time of the year. Ask about our Old St. Nick Christmas photos, Wedding Packages, Old West Boudoir Shoots, and Family Reunions!

Our full-time summer season is from Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day, with additional photo opportunities available throughout the year.
