Headshot and portrait studio

NOTHING IS QUITE LIKE THE FEELING YOU GET LOOKING AT OLD PHOTOGRAPHS. NOSTALGIC FOR MEMORIES OR PEOPLE THAT ARE NO LONGER HERE. SEEING AN IMAGE THAT TAKES YOU BACK TO A PLACE OR TIME, OR GIVES YOU A SENSE OF WHO SOMEONE WAS THAT YOU DIDN’T GET THE CHANCE TO KNOW.
NO MATTER HOW MUCH TECHNOLOGY ADVANCES, I DON’T THINK ANYTHING WILL BEAT HOLDING A PHOTO THAT’S IMPORTANT TO YOU IN YOUR HANDS.
TAKE AS MANY PICTURES AS YOU CAN - YOU’LL ALWAYS WISH YOU TOOK MORE

We can turn your digital photo into a tintype so it’s preserved to last for hundreds of years. Think of it like a print… except way better.
breaking the traditional standard of headshots.
Headshots are a first impression, they shouldn’t feel stiff, posed, or outdated. They should tell a story about who you are, and make the viewer want to know more. That is my intention.
