Session Details

Each mini session includes two 4x5 tintypes for $150. Scanning is an additional $25

(I always make at least two—no single images.)
Additional tintypes can be added for $75 each with advance notice

Scanning is $25


BUT IF YOU SHARE THIS POST BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT, SCANNING IS FREE!

To secure your appointment, a $25 non-refundable deposit is required. I take Venmo or Zelle.

• Up to 2 people per photo (a 3rd may work if they can be held).
• Reshoots of images you’re not happy with are $25 each.
• Chemical blemish reshoots that obscure important facial details are free at my discretion.
• All tintypes are photographed vertically and shot on a neutral gray backdrop.
• A moon prop can be added for $25, depending on date availability—please let me know ahead of time.
• Pets and children under 5 may incur an additional fee.

You’ll receive your tintypes and digital scans the same day.

If you have any questions or want to book, feel free to message me—I’d love to create something beautiful with you!

A few from the other day :) I still have a few openings for my special but mist weekend tunes are booked up. I may add some time to next Saturday if anyone needs to get in. Also I’ll be putting up some racks of Vintage clothing in the studio on Friday during the Insomnia gallery show. Stop by!

Mini session time! Here are the details.

2 tintypes for $100 is an extra special deal!! You will leave with tintypes in hand.

50% deposit must be made at time of booking. It is only good for the dates listed above.

No refunds on deposit and date changes must be made 48 hours in advance and are subject to availability. Again, this is an extra special price I only do about once a year.

All photos will be done sitting on a stool with a gray backdrop from about mid chest up. Limit 2 people per photo. No children or pets unless you can HOLD them at this same level or if children are big enough to sit on their own. I’m doing this to limit having to change lighting, stool and backdrop set up.

No costume changes between photos.
If you’d like to change in between, please book 2 sessions.

Sessions are 30 minutes(15 minutes shooting/15 getting photos ready to go)
