Welcome to Firebird Photography!
What we do is not a photo filter. We are a local photography studio that specializes in retro and vintage inspired photography. Our work is based on the ads and icons of bygone eras (most notably the mid-century) but it doesn't stop there. We are time travelers who combine fashion, color and our love of film into one retronaughty package that is as cinematic as it is camp.
Book us for photographs that people will be talking about for decades!
