You don’t have to know how to be in front of the camera. There is nothing you can do wrong. I’ll direct you the entire time and you will
Last summer, I began learning wet plate collodion (tintype) photography. These kinds of portraits are handmade, using a process that was invented in 1851. It’s very different from my other work. I’m sort of a perfectionist, so it’s the flaws I’m learning to embrace. The chemicals can do wonky things sometimes. There is no Photoshop. There’s a bit of guesswork.

Christine is an author who lives in New Hampshire. She needed professional photos to send with her bio for essays that she is publishing, and for her publisher’s website. She wanted her photos to be casual-creative-professional and her wardrobe not too “buttoned up.” I loved working with her to create headshots and portraits she’s proud

Jeff is a talented local chef who is always interested in the process of creating. He recently came to the studio for a tintype portrait session.

Spring 2021 It is not enough to simply declare oneself not a racist. I believe each of us has to actively do something to reverse the course of racism in this country. It will be different for each of us. My team and I will be moving the Protest Portraits exhibit out of storage soon
In addition to the digital Portrait Experience and Headshot Sessions, I offer Tintype Sessions, resulting in one-of a-kind photographs made on metal plates. Each tintype is handmade. Using the wet-plate collodion method invented in 1851, I create an original, unique, tintype portrait. This kind of photo session is an especially rewarding experience for anyone who appreciates
