About Tina | DeFuniak Springs Photographer

I’m not the flashy, over-the-top photographer — and honestly, that’s kind of the point. No pressure. No chaos. Just experience, patience, and really good light.

I’m Tina, a professional photographer based in DeFuniak Springs, and it would truly be an honor to capture your family’s most meaningful moments. If you ever have questions about the services I offer, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m Southern… and I love to talk (just ask my husband!).

With over 20 years of experience behind the camera — and as a licensed nurse — I bring both artistry and a deep commitment to safety and professionalism to every session. Families trust me not only to create beautiful portraits, but to care for their little ones with patience, experience, and a calm, steady presence. From tiny newborn fingers to graduation day and everything in between, my heart is in creating timeless portraits you’ll proudly display in your home and cherish for generations.

Meet the Photographer Behind the Lens

I believe photography should feel relaxed, enjoyable, and meaningful. During your session, you can expect plenty of smiles, laughter, gentle guidance, and maybe even a few corny jokes. I never meet a stranger (again… ask my husband), and my goal is always to make you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera.

Whether your session takes place in my studio or on location, I’ll guide you every step of the way — from posing to expression — so your portraits feel natural, polished, and truly you.

My Studio in DeFuniak Springs

My full-service studio in DeFuniak Springs is designed to provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment for every client. Here, we document all of life’s milestones — newborn sessions, children’s portraits, maternity photography, senior portraits, professional headshots, heirloom artwork, and family portraits.

Studio lighting allows for consistent, timeless results, and every session is thoughtfully styled to create artwork worthy of your walls — portraits that preserve your family’s story for years to come.

A Little More About Me

I love God and this beautiful world He created. I’m incredibly grateful for the big, blended family my husband and I have built together. Sunday lunches with our kids and grands are some of my favorite moments in life.

I’m Southern — and I still insist I don’t have an accent! I love the color pink, Diet Coke, chai tea, and all things food. I love creating, laughing, gathering people together, and preserving memories.

Most of all, I love what I do. Photography allows me to freeze time — so no one is ever forgotten, no memory ever fades, and the beautiful seasons of life are always remembered.
