The studio is currently on maternity leave for the first time in 12 years!
I will resume shooting portraits in the studio closer to the holidays (December 2023).
If you want to schedule for that time, please feel free to send me an email to schedule, and I will return your email as soon as I am able.
Book your session
Each tintype portrait session begins with a consultation before the plates are prepared. Creating a tintype portrait using this historic wet-plate collodion process means that each individual plate must be prepared by hand in the darkroom immediately before the photograph is taken, and developed immediately afterwards.
