Washington D.C. newborn photographer earns bronze award for fine art newborn portrait

Washington D.C. Potomac MD Photographer Earns Bronze Award at International Photographic Competition 

Tina Krafts of Tina Krafts Photography is honored by peers and jurors for high-quality photography.

Washington, D.C./Potomac, MD – Tina Krafts of Tina Krafts Photography in Silver Spring, Maryland was named a Bronze Medalist during Professional Photographers of America‘s 2018 International Photographic Competition. Krafts’ work will be on display at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia, Jan. 20-22, 2019. This International Photographic Exhibit is held in conjunction with Imaging USA, an annual convention and expo for professional photographers.

A panel of 32 eminent jurors from across the United States selected the top photographs from nearly 5,073 total submitted entries at Gwinnett Technical College in Georgia. Judged against a standard of excellence, 2,622 images were selected for the General Collection and 513 (roughly 10 percent) were selected for the esteemed Loan Collection. The Loan Collection images will all be published in the much-anticipated “Loan Collection” book and over 365 selected General Collection images will be published in the “Showcase” book by Marathon Press.

Tina Krafts was named a Bronze Medalist by earning a merit—a mark of quality and honor—for each of the four images included in her entry case to the International Photographic Competition. (Photographers are permitted to submit a total of four images in the annual International Photographic Competition.) This is the most prestigious competition of its kind, where images are judged based on a standard of artistic excellence, not against each other. In 2018, she was one of only 208 Bronze Medalists.

    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.

    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
