Booking & Deposit
A $200 deposit is required to book your session.
Deposits are non-refundable unless we need to reschedule due to:
-
Weather
-
A major life event
There is a lot of preparation involved in a tintype session, including hand-mixed, time-sensitive chemistry, so keeping our scheduled appointment is very important.
Additional Information
-
A high-resolution digital scan of your tintypes is included
-
I hand engrave the names and date on the back of your tins with a small engraving tool — NOT a Sharpie
-
Sessions typically last around 3 hours or longer, depending on how many tintypes you would like made
-
If you are located outside of the Nevada City area, a travel fee may apply
If you plan to use the images for promotional or commercial purposes, please reach out to discuss licensing fees.
I look forward to creating a future family heirloom that can be cherished for generations to come.
