What a wee tiny love bug! This piece was a special order for Mother's Day. This pendant features a red rose tintype on the front and a tintype of very happy newborn on the back. The original was uploaded from an iPhone! We love creating one of a kind pieces to treasure, and are always happy to customize any order to your unique specifications!

We love making tintypes and especially love the opportunity to take wet plate collodion sittings both on location and in our Chicago studio. Here is a tintype that was created on location at Northwestern University in Chicago. The couple were newly engaged and used the tintype as the photograph for their 'save the date' cards. It was a beautiful location for a lovely couple. Here's to their bright future!
Here is a shot of the 'behind the scenes'!
