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!

A grand adventure is about to begin. ❤️
How absolutely stunning is this mama?
Pregnancy carries a rare kind of beauty -one rooted not just in appearance, but in transformation and purpose. Maternity sessions are designed to capture these moments and to celebrate the amazing work your body is doing growing a new life!
The ideal time frame for maternity portraits is 26-34 weeks. So if you`re due this summer, NOW is the time to book your maternity session! Message me at tina@tinakraftsphotography.com so we can start planning your session!
Had to share another of my favorites of this sweet girl. 🤍

One moment, you’re cradling a tiny newborn who fits perfectly in your arms, marveling at each yawn and sleepy smile, and the next, you’re watching your “baby” stride out the door with independence in her step and a world of her own unfolding. The days feel long in the beginning - filled with diapers, first words, and small milestones - but somehow the years collapse into each other. Time moves quietly, until suddenly the baby who once reached for your hand is reaching for her future, and you’re left wondering how it all passed in what feels like the blink of an eye.
I write this from experience. I started my photography business when my kids were little … and now they are both adults. 🥹 I am grateful that they willingly agreed to be my photography subjects (albeit with a little bribe at times), and that I have treasured portraits of them throughout the years as a result.
Reflecting on all of this recently has led me to the conclusion that I would love to offer the same to my clients. Soooooo….I am returning to my roots and bringing back children’s portrait sessions!
If you would like to preserve those years between *your* baby’s first and 18th birthdays, get in touch to schedule a time to come in to the studio!—————————> tina@tinakraftsphotography.com
There is something so special about that dreamy period of quiet anticipation in those last weeks leading up to your baby’s arrival. 🤍🤍
