ABOUT TINA

Since I was a little girl, I’ve had a great love of photography. I have also always been very nostalgic. Even as a child one of my favorite things to do was look at all our family photo albums.

When I was eight years old my dad gave me a little Kodak camera. I started taking pictures of everything I did and then I would collect all the photos and make albums that documented my life. I now have albums for almost every year of my life since 1977.

Today I still get excited about photographing a special time in someone’s life and then making an album that tells the story. One of the things I love best about my job is the connection I make with each client. I especially love being able to be part of their lives for many of the important milestones. I truly enjoy sharing each chapter of my client’s lives as they unfold. It’s an honor.read more

I was born in the Los Angeles area, and lived there until I went to college at Humboldt State University. In 1991 I graduated with degrees in Photojournalism, German and International Relations.
