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.

There’s something so special about the way a big brother (or *two* big brothers) looks at their new baby for the very first time. 🤍

In the whirlwind of newborn days, it’s easy to focus on those tiny fingers, sleepy smiles, and all the little details of your newest love. But don’t forget to capture the bond that’s just beginning between your babies, too.

These portraits aren’t just about how small your newborn was. They’re about the beginning of a lifelong relationship, a new chapter in your family’s story, and a love that will only continue to grow.

Trust me, you’ll never regret having these moments documented! 🤍

🤍 Because they’re only this little once. 🤍

The tiny fingers, the sleepy stretches, the soft newborn sighs, and the way they fit perfectly in your arms. These are the moments that pass far too quickly, even when it feels like you’ll remember every little detail forever.

Newborn portraits are about so much more than beautiful photos. They’re about preserving the beginning of your baby’s story, capturing the love that fills your heart, and holding onto the little details that will one day feel like a distant memory.

One day, those tiny fingers will hold yours a little less. Those newborn snuggles will turn into big hugs, and you’ll look back at these images wishing you could step into that moment just one more time.🥺

That’s the beauty of photographs. They let us relive the moments our hearts never want to forget. 🤍

If you’re expecting, consider this your reminder to capture those first precious days. Your baby will never be this little again, but you can always have these memories to look back on.

Sitter portraits (portraits of your baby at 6-12 months old) are all about capturing who your little one is right now. Her curious eyes, her gummy smiles, the way she grabs her little toes, and that personality that has grown so much in less than a year.
As a photographer and a mom, I know how quickly this stage passes. Give yourself the gift of remembering exactly who your baby was at this age. I promise you will never regret having these memories to look back on! 🤍📷
