A tintype is how they made photos in the 1850s. Today it is directly created using a physical metal plate. It's a 4" x 5" piece of aluminum that I add light sensitive chemicals to which allows me to create your portrait.

At the studio: $100/plate - These sessions take about 30 minutes per plate and they include the plate itself, which is shipped to you after a 2-3 day processing time, and a digital file.

On location: $400/hr - Includes multiple plates in a unique location. Tintypes can be created anywhere that I can drive to!

Yes! You can purchase one by clicking the link below which will take you to my store. Then you have the option to receive a digital gift card or have a physical gift card shipped to you. Please reach out to me via email if you would like a physical gift card.

Colors show up differently through this process. Red shows up as black and blue shows up as white. Any words will show up backwards. I ask that you dress in a way that makes you feel good. When you feel good, you look good!

Yes I do! These appointments are booked via email only as my availability during the week changes often.

For most tintype appointments I recommend max 2 adults at a time. Children can be added to this as well. Please email me if you would like a portrait with 4 or more people.
