We can see from the sepia tone that these are original vintage photos that you've dug up.

Beautiful photos! They really do look so vintage, somehow, and not just because of the sepia. Something in the way they are posed looks like people used to pose for pictures in times past. Very well done!

In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

I didn't notice that at first but you're right, they are posed in a somewhat period fashion. Interesting.
