If you want a portrait of yourself, then show up as your most authentic self ~ Simply try to be comfortable.

Many people like to take the opportunity of a private portrait session to dress up and have some fun with it. I welcome creative visions and less-than-typical self portrayals in the studio. I always encourage people to wear what feels comfortable to them. On a technical note, warmer colors like red and orange do come out very dark or even black, and blue tones are much brighter. I find that texture and patterns tend to render very nicely (lace, fur, stripes, etc.) I normally recommend AGAINST wearing all black as black fabric often doesn’t show and you will end up looking like a floating head. No matter what you decide to wear, your portrait will come out great so long as you’re comfortable.

After your session is finished, it usually takes 48 hours to process all the images. Once the tintypes are ready, you will be alerted and your tintype will be available for pickup in the drop box at the studio. You will also receive the scans at this time. On rare occasions processing can take much longer than 48 hours due to travel plans or unavailability. If you have a strict deadline, please let me know while you schedule the appointment.

Yes. I am open to setup my tintype photo booth at any number of events - weddings, parties, employee appreciation celebrations, birthdays, markets, music festivals, etc. The details are best worked out over the phone. Please contact me to setup a time to chat.
