Built for the Camera-Shy
Almost every sitter walks in saying the same thing: "I'm terrible in photos." Proving otherwise, gently and without rush, is what three generations on Route 66 have been about.
Time for the real face
Silver & Co started in 1964 as a one-room portrait studio with a hand-painted sign and a cupboard turned darkroom. Old man Delgado had one rule: the first ten frames are warm-up while your shoulders drop, so nobody gets a fifteen-minute conveyor-belt slot. Sixty years later, that rule still runs the studio.
Proofs you choose together
Every roll is developed and contact-sheeted in-house, so we can sit down with you over the strongest frames before anything is hand-printed — dodged, burned and toned. Classic tones last; trendy filters look dated within two years.
An honest handshake
Every quote spells out the prints, scans and usage you'll receive, with no files held back for extra fees. We'll tell you when a session isn't right for you, even if it costs us the booking, which is why couples travel in from all forty-eight states and return for anniversary portraits.
Come Say Cheese
The studio doors are open six days a week. Stop in for a coffee, see the changing room and the darkroom, and talk a date through with a photographer.
Open Dates, First
