I’m glad you found me.

My photography is for those who want to feel something when they look back at their photos — not just see how it looked, but remember how it felt.

I care about connection, energy, and creating a space where you can just be yourself.


So your photos feel honest, relaxed, a little cinematic — and truly yours.

We had the best experience with Tina for our maternity shoot 🤍 She made us feel so comfortable the entire time, which honestly made such a difference because it all felt so natural and easy. She really knows how to guide you and capture the BEST angles without it feeling forced at all.


We took our photos in Chicago but somehow look like we’re on a California beach?! 😂 The scenery, the lighting, everything came out so perfect! It really helped planning our outfits beforehand and letting her know what I envisioned!


What I loved most is how she captured the little in-between moments like the genuine smiles, the soft looks, all the emotions. Those are the photos we’ll treasure forever.


We’re SO happy we chose her for such a special moment in our lives, and we already know we’ll be working with her again once baby girl is here 💕 Couldn’t recommend her enough!!

Oh my goshhhhh!!! 😭✨ Everything is just so amazing — I’m honestly speechless!

I cried watching the very first video… it’s so beautiful and emotional.

All of the photos are absolutely perfect, and they brought back so many fun memories from our time in Chicago!


I think I’ll be up all night looking through them again and again because I just can’t stop! 😂

I even want to change my Instagram profile photo, but it’s so hard to choose because every shot is wonderful!
