I travel with my darkroom to you, documenting life as it is. Using natural light, these portraits feel soft and real, capturing both you and the environment that tells your story. Email kelsa@collectivetypes.co to set something up. BEFORE BOOKING PLEASE READ THE FAQ PAGE.

Elevate your wedding, party, or event with a tintype setup for on-the-spot guest portraits. It’s a unique experience that creates timeless, archival keepsakes you and your guests will treasure forever.

No two weddings or events are ever the same, so each tintype experience is thoughtfully tailored to fit your day. Please email me at kelsa@collectivetypes.co to inquire about availability and custom pricing.

BOOK

SELECT your SERVICE

Each tintype is one of a kind — no negatives, no duplicates. I scan every plate after it’s washed and dried, and you’ll get your scans by email within 5 days. Your physical tintype ships after varnishing — usually within two weeks.

During Your Session
A tintype takes about 10 minutes start to finish.
I use flash indoors, but you’ll still need to hold steady for a clear image.
What to Wear
Skip pure white or black — mid-tones and textures like denim look amazing.
Glasses often glare; if possible, bring an old pair without lenses. Retakes aren’t possible if glare happens.
Makeup tip: red lipstick looks bold and beautiful; purples and pinks usually photograph as pale or white.
Porch Tintypes
From May to October, I offer traveling porch sessions. Shoot me an email at kelsa@collectivetypes.co to set something up!
