In creating tintypes we get some pretty amazing family images and stories. This tintype was just created for Mother's Day and when we first saw the image in our uploader we had to get the story of these two boys. Thanks to their Dad for sharing their story and tintype!
"The tintype arrived and it is absolutely awesome! My boys are very excited to give it to their mother on Mother's Day. Thank you!
As for the picture, this is the Halloween costume they chose last year. I am a computer administrator by profession, but my wife and I choose to limit the amount of time that can be wasted on technology through video games and tv. Instead, my wife, a librarian, always reads to them....a lot! As a result, my boys have always been big into playing dress-up. They like to recreate historical events and other things that they read in books. So we always have lots of 'visitors' from history stopping by to tell us a tale. It's not uncommon to have visits from Miami War Chief's and pilgrims like William Bradford and Christopher Jones (attached below). And yes, they design their own outfits! It's understood in our house that if you can't find an article of clothing you need to check the dress-up box.
Thanks again for the wonderful tintype."

Below are written reviews from our clients about what they think of our work:
I recently purchased a tintype photo for my wife for our tenth wedding anniversary. She loved it, and especially appreciated that it came matted and ready to frame. She framed it right away and it is hanging in our living room. The instructions for caring for and framing the picture were very helpful. I look forward to having this tintype for the rest of our lives.
What a great experience and the photo turned out great! It made a lovely tin anniversary gift for my brother in law. Delivered on time and great service all the day around. Great with questions too!
I ordered a 5x7 as a gift for my sister. She was ecstatic upon receipt. Well done! Jen contacted me about a different ship to address i used and included a nice gift message for me, and mailed the invoice to me. Makes wonderful gifts! Highly recommended - this is my second order of more to come!
