New Updated Wardrobe

When Vintage Girl Studios began almost six years ago We had a very small wardrobe. VGS grew and our wardrobe grew from finds and donations. Thank you you ladies who have contributed to the happiness of others that have graced our studio.
 Once a session is booked  at the studio we send our clients a questionnaire and a link to view our wardrobe online. I realized that it hadn't been updated in some time and wanted to show off the wonderful items  that we have now.



  We have also partner with Penny Lane a new designer for a custom separates. Check out our video on FAQs about Wardrobe.
 

We have been behind on our Blogging this year. So many wonderful clients and events. Check out our Facebook and Instagram to keep up with us lately.

Roaring Twenties Party and Tintypes.

We had such a great summer preparing for the Roaring Twenties Party at the Crane Estate.  We spent a few weeks afterward in the darkroom insuring that we would get the best tintype for our clients. We are so excited for this event for next year that will be on a Saturday. We loved working with our vintage camera and it brought us back to our grass roots and got us out of the computer chair this summer. If you would like to see more images of this amazing day check out our Facebook page.





We are going further into study of tintype photography this fall and will keep you posted of our adventure.We will be offering in the studio from now on in addition to our other sessions. We are also will be offering tintype at a few events in 2016.
Check out our tintypes gallery.

Tin Type Portraits at Vintage Girl Studios


Tin·Type


A tintype, also known as a melainotype or ferrotype, is a photograph made by creating a direct positive on a thin sheet of metal coated with a dark lacquer or enamel and used as the support for the photographic emulsion. Tintypes enjoyed their widest use during the 1860s and 1870s, but lesser use of the medium persisted into the early 20th century and it has been revived as a novelty in the 21st.
Tintype portraits were at first usually made in a formal photographic studio, like daguerreotypes and other early types of photographs, but later they were most commonly made by photographers working in booths or the open air at fairs and carnivals, as well as by itinerant sidewalk photographers.

We are so excited to announce the addition of tintype portraiture here at Vintage Girl Studios. We have seen a revival of tintype photography with Victoria Will's celebrity portraits at the Sundance Film Festival last year. Vintage Girl Studios always strives to offer our clients unique, interesting, cutting-edge choices and this spring we have decided get out the the computer chair and go back to the grass roots of mechanical vintage cameras and emulsion based photography. It has been much trial and error, but we believe that our effort is definitely worth it.  We hope you'll agree!

Tintype photography produces truly one-of-a-kind hauntingly beautiful art.

We will be debuting this offering at The Crane Estate Roaring Twenties Party with  mini sessions on Sunday, August 2nd.

We are offering three event sessions:

Tintype Package One - $55

  • One 4x5 Tin
  • Digital File of Tin

Happy Birthday Vintage Girl Studios!


Five years ago I closed my photography boutique store front and ten years of hard work to start transitioning my traditional portrait studio into Vintage Girl Studios. Through other projects I found my passion and purpose in  vintage glamour photography. My excitement of the endless creativity and  collaborations has me still going today!
I don't celebrate myself or business enough but, I feel this is a big milestone year.  Vintage Girl Studios is still here creating. It looks like we will be here for many years to come.  Five years ago I was very scared, nervous, and determined. My mind was telling me this is not a good time (Having young children) to start this en devour. My heart and husband told me to stop doubting and keep moving.

I wanted to share one of our first sessions with you. Doreen Ise of  Rosebud Salon Providence is one of the most amazing people I know and admire. Thank you for your love and support through the years. This session is also the first time I worked with talented Simony Resende. Simony is still one of the stylist  here at Vintage Girl Studios.

I also wanted to Thank Rebecca Twitchell of Half Full, Ashley Maclean, Caliegh Boudreau, Melanie Lacy, Liz Paonessa, and everyone we have worked with. Kristen Minsky for being the first creative session at The Lippitt Museum.
I need to Thank Jessica Jackson for being a great graphic designer, Idea Bouncer, and listening ear when times were really hard. Thank you Jennifer DeCesari for letting me know I was doing it all wrong and then set me straight. Wish you still lived here. Thank you to all my logo models Doreen, Holly, Leah, Dee Dee, Amelia, and Krystin.
I Love to Thank the love of my life Christian and family for their support through these years.
Most of All I Thank every client and collaboration I have worked with. I really love you all. 

THANK YOU!!!
