About

Toledo Tintype Studio is all about slowing down and making something real.

We use a 160-year-old process to create handmade metal photographs — each one totally unique, imperfect, and impossible to replicate. It’s not just a photo, it’s a moment frozen in time.

Our studio is a space for connection, curiosity, and creating something you’ll want to hold onto forever. We’re so glad you’re here.

I had such a wonderful experience getting a tintype photo done! She was so kind, welcoming, and incredibly easy to talk to, which made the whole experience feel so comfortable and enjoyable. 🫶

Getting to actually watch the tintype process happen was such a cool part of the experience and honestly made it 100x more special! It’s not every day you get to see something like that being created right in front of you. The photo turned out absolutely beautiful, and I’m so glad I got to experience it.

If you’ve ever thought about getting a tintype done, I highly recommend it! Such a unique experience and a beautiful keepsake. 🤎

This place is so great! We had such a great experience. The space felt more than inclusive for my girlfriend and I, as we celebrated valentines day. Layla was amazing - integrating us into the full process and educating us about the cool science behind tintype photography.
