"...a phenomenal experience from start to finish. Kyle was insightful and helpful throughout, with great suggestions and a relaxing vibe."

"Kyle is amazing!! He's a true artist - very dedicated to creating the perfect image and so thoughtful about how to do so. It was fascinating to hear and see how the tintype process worked as well."
