They decided to put New Hampshire on their itinerary so they could experience a tintype session together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A tintype is an image made on a metal plate using a chemical process that was invented in 1851.  I use an antique camera and lens to create these kinds of portraits. Each portrait takes many careful steps to complete, and the result is a one-of-a-kind, truly archival image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"
