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!

Fall - the most wonderful time of the year - is finally here! Although it is still a little too warm here in the DMV for sweaters and boots, pumpkin everything is back, and it’s FOOTBALL SEASON!! 🏈🙌
This little cutie is all ready for the Commanders’ season!
Who else is excited?

There is something so incredibly special about watching your first baby become a big brother. And it is an honor for me to capture his excitement, curiosity, and love for his new little sister.
Siblings are always welcome to be included in my newborn portrait sessions! ❤️

All the cozy vibes! Who is ready for Fall?!
Give me all the sweaters, boots, cozy blankets, and fire pits (and snuggly babies, always)!!
Anyone know where I can live where it is Fall year-round? Totally serious…

The temperatures are dropping (slightly 😉), kids are heading back to school, and I’m starting to see some pumpkin products on store shelves…Fall is so close, and I couldn’t be more excited!
Are you like me, or are you a little sad to leave Summer behind?
