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!

Did you know we offer custom pet portraits at Tina Krafts Photography?
Because pets are family. Our furry babies are woven into our routines, our memories, and our hearts. They give us unconditional love, comfort on hard days, and joy in the quiet moments. A portrait session is a way to honor that bond, capturing their personality and the place they hold in our lives. Because family deserves to be remembered, paws and all. 🐾❤️

I was SO excited to meet this absolutely perfect little guy earlier this week! I have known his mama for almost two decades, and I just adore her and her entire super sweet family. 
Congratulations, Z family - soooo happy for you!! ❤️
It is such a privilege to have a job that allows me to meet the sweetest families and help them capture those first wondrous weeks with their new little one! 

This little guy is clearly surrounded by love. ❤️ I think you can tell from this image how much his big sister adores him, can't you? So sweet!
Hope everyone is staying safe and warm today! How much snow did you get where you live?  We haven’t seen a plow yet, so I’m just hunkered down today doing some editing and prepping for sessions this week.

This little guy was one of my first newborns of 2026 - he was the absolute sweetest, and had the *best* expressions! Isn’t he the cutest?! 💚
