In the era of unlimited pixels devoted to photography, Ruby and Dirt of Breakfast All Day, slow it all down with a process from Abraham Lincoln’s time. Fickle in its outcomes, tintype is a challenge for photographer and subject alike. It’s easy to see why so many old tintype portraits capture stiff and scowling subjects. So who says you have to smile? I love my portraits and appreciate the art form these folks have resurrected. One of their tintypes is worth gigabytes of phone selfies. -Robert

I'd been wanting a tintype photo with my Steampunk Davy Jones costume for years, and I was so grateful to the Breakfast All Day tintype team for helping to make it happen.  Super friendly, easy to work with, and accommodating of the limited window I have to wear a bulky costume on a hot day!  They weren't tethered to a static photographic backdrop either which really makes them stand out from other tintype photographers I've observed (though I understand that would be site-specific).  It may seem expensive for a single photo, but the realism you get with the tintype cannot be replicated.  As costumers we put a lot of time and effort into making our costumes seem "real" - whether it's through materials, design, or finish treatments.  A tintype photo is going to instantly make everything look 100% real - just make sure you work on your pose since you only have one shot! - Tim

Our whole group had a great time. Photos came out quick and were very crisp. I love how I now have an image that will last for generations of the people I love. 

Thanks so much for the wonderful experience. -Ariel

Getting a tintype taken by Breakfast All Day was a lovely, unique experience. The tintype medium captures humanity's purest, simplest, and most essential facets—a welcome craft in these technology-centric times. Dirt and Ruby gave excellent guidance for posing and produced a very special portrait that my partner and I will always value. -Emily

We thought it would be a sweet idea to have a tintype studio at our wedding, and Breakfast All Day did not disappoint! In fact, Ruby and Dirt were so kind, grounded and accomplished at their craft that every single guest was able to take home a stunning and unique portrait of themselves and have a blast at the same time. It's such a fun and engaging process to partake in, I am so grateful to Breakfast All Day for keeping the tradition alive! -Gianna

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time having our portraits taken by Breakfast All Day Tintype Studio.

Dirt did a phenomenal job at the pop-up event with his set-up and working with the flow of people in the space.

Ruby was fabulous communicating with us about how the pop-up worked and how we would receive the images.

Watching the picture come to life (develop) was so fascinating. It was truly a blast and we cannot wait to cherish these photos for years to come.

Thank you Dirt and Ruby! -Meesh
