Hello there!
I'm Tina - a professional newborn and baby photographer in the Washington, D.C. metro area. I am also a mom to two amazing kids, wife to my college sweetheart, a dog mom, a coffee addict, a cold-weather devotee, and a Springsteen superfan.
I am originally from Pennsylvania, but I have lived in the D.C. area -- in D.C. itself, in the Virginia suburbs, and in the Maryland suburbs -- for more than 20 years now! I fell in love with this area when I moved here to attend law school, and I just never left. (I worked as an attorney practicing labor and employment law for more than a decade prior to launching my photography career.)
I have loved photography for as long as I can remember. As my family and friends can attest, I have nearly always had a camera in my hand and have been obsessed with documenting memories. My passion for photography intensified, however, when my children were born. I was so in awe of their chubby little hands and feet, their adorable expressions, and their love for each other; I wanted to document every detail, and every moment -- to freeze the time that seemed to be speeding by in a blur.
Several years - and countless books, classes, workshops, and practice hours -- later, I decided that I wanted to help other parents preserve their memories of their little ones' first weeks/months. I have now photographed hundreds of babies in the last ten years since I opened my studio, and I am so grateful to all of the families who have allowed me to share in their joy-filled milestones!

This beautiful girl - just 3 weeks new - came to see me for her newborn portraits this weekend. She was one of the most attentive and observant newborns I have photographed…she maintained eye contact with me when I talked to her and seemed to be listening to every word - it was the sweetest thing! ❤️
I know I say it all the time, but how lucky am I to have a job that involves snuggling impossibly adorable, precious new little ones, and documenting one of the most significant milestones in their families lives? A dream! ❤️
Hi. ❤️

COZY!
I’m feeling a bit like this little cutie today, as I edit in my comfy chair while wrapped in my heated blanket, eagerly anticipating the next snowfall headed our way this evening. 😀
Who else is excited for the snow?! ❄️❤️

My first newborn of 2025 is this precious little ray of sunshine. I have known his super sweet family for many years, so it was a real treat for me to meet him and help to capture his first weeks!
His mama asked to incorporate some sunflowers into some of his portraits because they were his grandma’s favorite flower. ❤️🌻❤️
