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!

Those first few weeks with a newborn baby are one of the most extraordinary and fleeting seasons of your life. In a matter of just a few weeks, tiny features begin to change, little toes and fingers uncurl, sleepy snuggles give way to longer periods of alertness, and the little one you longed to meet begins growing rapidly before your eyes.
This chapter passes so quickly that many of these precious details fade from memory. Newborn photography helps to preserve those memories, however…long after your baby has outgrown your arms, these images will bring you back to the awe, love, and joy at the beginning of your family’s story. ❤️

For the last decade, I have been almost exclusively photographing newborns and babies. Over the last year, however, I have reintroduced various types of portrait sessions, including children, family, and pet sessions.
Among these “new” portrait offerings is one that has quickly become one of my favorites: fine art children’s portraits. These portraits are thoughtfully crafted images that are designed to capture the beauty and emotion of childhood in a timeless way. These sessions importantly allow your kids the opportunity to dress up and feel special, encouraging confidence and allowing their unique personalities to shine. The ultimate result is heirloom-quality artwork for your home that preserves a season of your child’s life. 🤍

Did you know that I offer *both* posed *and* lifestyle (as well as hybrid) newborn portrait sessions at my Washington D.C. area studio?
Those first days with your new baby are filled with fleeting moments you`ll never want to forget, and there are beautiful ways to preserve them through newborn photography. Lifestyle newborn sessions focus on capturing natural moments with your family in a relaxed environment, highlighting authentic connections, cuddles, and the beauty of everyday life with your new baby. Posed newborn sessions are more carefully styled, with your baby gently and safely guided into timeless poses that highlight every precious little detail, creating beautiful heirloom portraits you`ll treasure for years to come. As a photographer experienced in both styles, I love offering families the freedom to choose the experience that feels most like them (or even the best of both worlds - a hybrid session!). Whether you envision heartfelt, documentary-style images or beautifully crafted portraits, my goal is to create photographs that not only document how your baby looked, but preserve your memories of this extraordinary season of your life.

Sometimes you just need to dive headfirst into cake! 🎂
Society should normalize this behavior for people of all ages, am I right?
