Pricing & Scheduling
All tintypes are shot in my home studio in Franklin, TN, where you can enjoy an immersive experience. You will be able to witness the entirety of the early photographic process from the studio to the darkroom while also enjoying light hors d'oeuvres, water, and sparkling wine.

Please note that portrait sessions are scheduled about once a month for a Saturday set of sessions, and there may not always be sessions available. If you have any questions or would like to inquire about scheduling, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Pricing
Cost is determined by plate size and includes a full digital scan of the image.
Tin/Metal Plates:
5x7: $125 - Individual portraits only. A beautiful entry-size tintype with an intimate, personal feel.
8x10: $175 - Ideal for individual portraits, couples, and families. This size provides more room, greater detail, and the most versatile portrait experience.
11×14:Coming Soon - A premium large-format tintype for those wanting a more substantial fine-art portrait. The 11×14 plate has a striking presence and creates a finished piece that feels especially timeless and gallery-worthy. Because of its size, each plate requires additional chemistry, careful handling, and added care throughout the process.
For clear glass ambrotypes, please add $25 to each plate size.
Additional Plate Offer: After your first photo, any additional photos taken during your session will receive a discount, provided they are of the same size or smaller than the first plate.
Additional 5x7 or 8x10 plates receive $30 off each.
Additional 11×14 plates receive $50 off each.
This offer is valid for as many additional photos as we can fit into your scheduled session time, allowing you to explore a variety of poses and compositions at a reduced price.
Retakes are always welcome and do not count against you.
Please note that a non-refundable deposit of $50 is required to secure your session time. This deposit will also be applied to your portrait session. In the event of a cancellation, the deposit may be forfeited. However, if you are in communication with me, I am happy to apply the deposit toward a future session. Thank you for your understanding.
Tin/metal plates can be taken home the day of the shoot. Clear glass ambrotypes will be available for pick-up or delivery a few days later.
