Vanity Tintype creates keepsake memories with 19th-century image making technology

PHILADELPHIA -- The historic art of tintype photography is at the heart of woman-owned business, Vanity Tintype.

Using a camera that predates the company Kodak and her own chemistry to develop the photographs, Maureen Cooper has become a modern-day expert in an old school art form.

Vanity Tintype is the name of the business capturing photos on pieces of tin or glass that can serve as family heirlooms that last generations.
