I live with my family, a sweet little boy and a wonderful husband, in San Jose, California. I have loved photography for more than 20 years and started as a nature photographer because I love hiking and exploring new places. I specialize in Maternity, High School Seniors, Graduation and Solo Photography in the Bay Area California. My photography style is light, vibrant and joyful.
I love interacting with people and I will not be quietly hiding behind my camera and leave you feel lost - I will talk to you, tell you how to pose, where to look, what to do and all those things. I want you to feel good, you will see it in the images if you felt at ease or not. That's why I want to make your experience with me as fun and pleasant as possible.
I like everything that is easy going, non-stressful and fun. That's how I want to create your experience with me, too! Everything should be easy, so booking and getting in contact with me is easy, preparing is easy (with my welcome guide and the option to contact me any time for any question) and last but not least the session itself will be easy.

We're pregnant with our first child and booked Tina for our maternity photos. She exceeded every expectation and we are so grateful we got to work with her. She is truly an artist and very professional at the same time! Given that our session was during COVID, she kept us up to date on all the changes happening. We originally had our shoot planned for a beach in Santa Cruz, but Tina was caring and thoughtful enough to give us a heads up that people were not socially distancing and for our health and safety we might want to consider a different location. She suggested other locations and the photos came out beautifully. We truly hope we are able to work with her again. Her photos speak for themselves, but she's an amazing artist and efficient professional as well. BOOK HER NOW! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!

We booked Tina for our maternity photo shoot. We needed specific dates for the maternity session as my wife works in the evenings. She was able to rearrange her schedule to fit us on the date we wanted. One of the main reasons why we went with Tina is she has an all digital package to buy all the photos from the photoshoot.
Tina provides a collection of maternity dresses that my wife used during the photo shoot. She chatted with my wife briefly before the shoot to get a feel for what she liked. In addition, she allowed our own outfits as well.
Our photoshoot was outdoors in Los Gatos. The evening was great and with COVID it was not too busy since it was a weekday. Overall, she was super easy to approach and collaborated with us throughout the whole photoshoot. We definitely will use her in the future for photoshoots.

I've worked with a handful of photographers throughout the years, for special events as well as regular family photo shoots. Tina is hands down one of the best photographers I've ever worked with, and she is my first choice if we are ever in need of a great photographer. Our photos with Tina always come out awesome, and believe me, we've taken some not-so-awesome photos with other photographers in the past!
Tina's talent goes beyond just capturing the best photographs, and extends into the full experience: everything from preparing small details to ensure the day goes smoothly, to working with clients post-session to make any edits if they request it (this isn't about excessive post-processing or anything - this is about knowing and listening to your clients and ensuring they are fully satisfied with the work). On the day-of, Tina comes prepared with a wagon full of items to help the shoot go smoothly (several items for our toddler to play with, a blanket if things get chilly, etc). Tina is also very creative, and we really appreciate everything Tina does to ensure great photos and a great experience. We've worked with her twice so far, and I hope to work with her again in the future.
Thank you Tina!!!!

Selecting Tina to take our maternity photos was an amazing decision! When I contacted Tina, I sent her inspiration photos of what I wanted. Tina scouted out locations for me prior to us meeting and told me she found a perfect location for the photo shoot.
Tina also provided the most gorgeous maternity gowns for the photo shoot. On the day of the shoot, Tina was very prompt, she brought a changing tent which made it easy to take the photos.
Tina's style is also very relaxing. She made a pregnant woman feel really beautiful and taught me how to pose.
Tina provided the high resolution pictures really quickly as well. My husband and I loved the photos and we got many compliments about the dresses and the photos!
I would not hesitate to recommend Tina to any of my friends and family for a photo session.
