You can now schedule your portrait session online through my booking calendar or over the phone. Here are the available options and prices. This is not a typical photo session. I use homemade film on a black metal plate to create large instant portrait prints. Learn more about the process and my journey of mastering this craft as you explore my portfolio.

*Tintypes are a historic, handmade, photographic print and the medium is inherently flawed. I do my best to make a great picture within the time available. Ruined images will be reshot for free. All other reshoots are available at half-price.
