Why an engagement session in the studio is the best location.

August 28, 2015 by Nicole Caldwell

When you hear “studio”, you think “stuffy,” but NOT true.  Studio is elegant, classy and will remain timeless.  No need to complicate things by adding extra props like balloons, your initials, etc, which will seem dated in a few years.. Where should we go? Beach? Park? ugh, decision fatigue.  Yes, the beach is beautiful, but the engagement session is about the two of YOU, not the landscape. 3. We can control the environment.  The studio is air conditioned.  . No […]

Rockland Halo-Chrome Toner

April 10, 2015 by Nicole Caldwell

Recently experimented with Rockland Halochrome toner on Ilford Multigrade ART 300 paper.  Inspired by my recent tintype experiments, I was excited about the brushed metal look. According to the description: Halo-Chrome is Rockland’s unique toner that transforms black and white prints into pure metallic silver by fusing together the colloidal silver grains that make a black and white print into gleaming solid silver. Halo-Chrome toner can be used with all RC and fiber-base papers. On glossy papers, it gives a mirror-finish, and on matte […]
