Hi! I'm Di Murphy, CPP, and next to me here is my wife, Colleen Howard. Together, we own Tintype Studio and Anne Susan Portrait Design.(Colleen ANNE and Dianne SUSAN, get it?!)

What does the CPP Stand for?! Well, officially it stands for Certified Professional Photographer. This is a credential from the Professional Photographers of America which indicates that I have achieved, through my knowledge (passed the exam) and images (my portfolio was accepted), a level of competence and professionalism that warrants the designation of Certified. It sounds fancy, but mostly, it means that I know what I'm doing!

I LOVE photographing! It is all I have ever wanted to do (aside from playing 2nd base for the Cubs!)

I played Division 1 Softball in college and so I think photographing youth sports is a perfect fit for me!

We LOVE the Cubs, travelling, tennis, movies, and listening to audio books. I'm a fan of Facebook; Colleen, not so much.

We are a boutique business, meaning we are small but powerful and creative. We strive to take the quality of the studio and bring it into the community centers and school gyms. Our goal is to take the BEST images of your kids and make it as hassle free and seamless as possible for you to own those images. We want your EXPERIENCE with Tintype to be a happy, memorable one! How are we doing?
