Lady L's Creations

A great place to get those old timey looking photos in the historic district of Tombstone. They offer you a number of costumes ranging from gunslinger cowboy to Chinese coolie, etc. I was thinking of going with the coolie outfit but my friend and I settled on the bandito and Native American look because it was more a departure from what was expected since I'm Asian and coolie was too predictable. My friend actually wanted me to be the Native American as a tribute to the movie Revenge of the Nerds and the costume that the Japanese nerd Takashi wore at the talent show near the movie's finale. FYI, Revenge of the Nerds was filmed up the road at the University of Arizona in Tucson but I don't think people would have gotten the reference to that movie. Getting into the garb provided was easy and the photo shoot took only a few minutes. The photographer will get each person into position against a backdrop of your choice and have you pose a certain way but I'm sure you can ask to get creative if you'd like. We just went with the standard poses and were photographed with a serious looking at the camera, happy looking at the camera and serious looking away from the camera look. You get to select which one you want printed. We decided to get all three looks printed in a sepia tone. You can select from sepia, B&W or color.They give you 8x10 prints and those take a couple minutes to print out. After that they present you with cardboard frames with different borders if you want to add to the . Each cardboard frame cost $5.The older lady that owns the place reminds me of the grandma from Napoleon Dynamite. Anyway, she's no nonsense and kind of gruff if you get on her bad side. While my friend and I were putting on the costumes some guy and his girl friend were walking by and being looky loos poking their head in to see the place but not walking in. However, the guy was at the front door taking photos or a video of the inside and of the costumes we were wearing. She immediately told him "No photos!" The guy continues to keep his phone out and she comes around the counter and to the door to block him and flip him off and yells, "WHAT DID I TELL YOU?! NO PHOTOS!! GET F... OUTTA HERE!!"

You shouldn't pass through Tombstone without taking some old-timey photos! You'll have so much fun dressing up like a 19th Century miner, bounty hunter, priest, etc. while holding some prop guns and looking serious. Or silly.The entire process is fast--it might have been half an hour between getting started and having our photo in hand. And like many other reviewers have pointed out, Cory is the coolest! I think he's the son of the owner, and I bet he's making his mom proud. Absolute top-notch service, and great vision for getting his shots just right. Everyone I have shown his photo to thinks it's great! I could not think of a better souvenir to take home from the Wild West.

We came to Tombstone during spring break with the intention of taking old timey photos. One of the other spots had political signs hanging so we found ourselves walking into Lady Ls not sure what to expect. Corey made it an awesome experience. We absolutely love our picture and next time we come back we will make it a point to stop by. If you're in town and want old timey photos at a decent price come to Lady Ls!

Bummer! We hurried through Boot Hill to make it make it back by 430 to be courteous and leave enough time for a picture knowing they closed at 5pm. Got back exactly at 430 and they were closed. Sign still says close at 5pm. Total bummer we missed our chance and won't be back.

We came here to get our photo taken and we had such a great time! I believe his name is Cory who took care of us but we enjoyed every minute! He was very friendly and inviting, we felt so comfortable. Our pictures are awesome and we just had so much fun! We tried another place before and did not like the atmosphere so we decided to come here. Amazing choice, definitely check them out! Thank you for the beautiful memories! we will be back!

This place is great! They take a variety of photos to make sure you get the one you want. They can add filters to the photos to give them a more vintage look. They have a massive selection of costumes and props. I noticed at least four different backgrounds for the old time photos. We did the bounty hunter look. I dug the outfit too much. The dude running it was super cool and offered discounts on additional prints.

Cory was the best. Obviously a tourist town but he's into it. He genuinely enjoys his craft and it shows. Great selection of backgrounds and outfits. Not to mention the photo quality is top notch. There's a few old time photo places in town, don't go elsewhere.

Wonderful place to go to get a fun picture with friends. The staff were so helpful and patient. They made the experience easy and enjoyable.

The bald woman behind the counter was so outright rude that my friend and I, after making an appointment, walked out. We had made an appointment for our photo and she told us to come back in 15 minutes-and that she would phone us when everything was ready. We went across the street to get a drink as we waited. We got the call and immediately went back to the store. (It literally took us 2-3 minutes to cross the street.) Upon entering, she stared barking at us for not having picked up the phone when she called. We apologized for missing the call but noted we had arrived back immediately. She would not let it go. She never discussed the photo packages and another customer had to show them to us. But we were so turned off by her attitude, we had no desire to give her our business so we walked out. My friend thought I had paid a deposit and when she asked for a refund, the bald woman yelled at her again: "YOU DON"T GET YOUR MONEY BACK BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T PAY!" Like, why would we give this woman any business if she is going to be do outright rude!

Such a fantastic experience getting our classic old timey photo! The owner's son was our creator and photographer and he made the process so seem less and fun, even with our 3 rowdy little ones and 6 adults. Highly recommend!!
