Preserving a family's history through photographs is a big part of why we do what we do!  Our tintype photographer has been restoring damaged photographs for close to 15 years and has a true passion for creating photographic artifacts.  If you are looking to recreate a modern photograph as a tintype, or if you are preserving a fading memory with a tintype, we are always excited to help create photographic artifacts with our tintypes.  If you have damaged old photographs you would like to mail us, we are happy to help you do that.  Simply email Jen to get started!  digitaltintypes@gmail.com

How do we package and ship out orders?

It is important to us that we treat your digital tintypes as the precious family memories that they are.  These life events travel with us as we grow and change through life.  We want your digital tintypes to last generations and treat them like pieces of art. 

This is why we mat each order that we ship out in acid free matting and include care instructions with each digital tintype.  This is an extra step, but it insures that your digital tintypes arrive on your door step safe and sound and ready for display in your family home, or ready to wrap as a gift for a friend.

'Can you remake my old tintype?'

We have been getting this question quite a bit lately.  The answer is yes!  We love to help families bring their old tintypes back to life, or create new tintype copies for multiple family members.  We offer custom sizes so that we can make new tintypes to fit into your old cases.

Restoring family history

We love photographic restoration!  It makes us really happy to be able to offer a family the ability to bring an old tattered photograph back to life.  Below is an example of a restored photograph that we have turned into a tintype.  The original photograph was taken in a dime store in a classic photo booth.  These images have a tendency to fade over time.  Luckily, this one wasn't as faded as some, but it did have a good deal of missing information on the left side of the photograph.  You can see the original on the bottom left below.  We created a restored image and then plated both a black and silver digital tintype at a 5x7 size. 

We are happy to receive your damaged family photographs and restore them to tintypes.  Simply email us at digitaltintypes@gmail.com to get started!
