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!

After being away for a few weeks (more on that later), I have been back at work and meeting so many darling little ones, including this beautiful girl with the most amazing hair! 😍

Maternity portrait sessions are so fun because they are filled with excitement, joy, and anticipation. There is something really special about photographing a glowing mom-to-be, regardless of whether she is awaiting her first or fifth baby.
I also know how busy (and often exhausting) that time before baby’s arrival can be, so I try to make maternity portraits as easy and stress-free as possible. With my client closet of beautiful dresses and professional hair and makeup artistry to make you look and feel your best, all you need to do is show up for your session; I will take care of everything else! Consider your maternity session some pre-baby pampering that will result in some beautiful images that you will treasure long after your little one arrives!

Newborns are only newborns for 2-3 weeks.
The newborn stage is fleeting in a way that almost feels impossible. Those early days blur together in a mix of sleepless nights, quiet snuggles, and tiny details that change far too quickly.
Although I can’t slow down that time, I *can* help you press pause on that whirlwind, and preserve the once-in-a-lifetime newness. With newborn images, we are able to capture not just how your baby looked in those early days, but how this special season felt…so even as it slips by, you can hold onto it forever.
