Hey there, I'm Tia.

(she/her)

 You spend a lot of time with your photographer on your wedding day-
It's crucial to work with someone you want to hang out with.
That said, I want you to feel like you know exactly who you're getting when you book with me, so here's what you should know.

 

My value system guides the way I work.
Some of my core values are inclusivity, intentionality, and being fully present. 
 

Valuing inclusivity means that all love is celebrated in my work, but that's not all it means.  
 

I’ve found that in the wedding industry, inclusivity often gets defined as just being willing to take money from any couple.

That has never sat right with me. 

 

To be clear, I’m 100% here to document all the types of love, but that means a lot more to me than simply being willing to take money from queer and BIPOC couples. It means celebrating your relationship authentically, so you always know that you're working with someone who supports you fully. It means I learn the value systems of other wedding vendors, so when I make recommendations to you, I know they are also prioritizing your safety and will fully celebrate and support you. It means researching the history of venues before choosing to work there. It means not making assumptions about who you are based on your name, your skin, your body— and getting to know you on a personal level so that your photos are a reflection of YOU and how YOUR relationship feels.

It also means turning away work if I feel that our value systems don't align.

Valuing intentionality means that I approach my work in a calm, measured way. 

It’s funny to me that while being an introvert to my core, I chose a job that requires being around crowds of people. I won't be the girl at the center of the dance circle during your reception, but I love to have fun and will be doing a little two step with my camera in hand if you play Talking Heads.

 

I approach wedding days with a sense of calm intention that allows me to take everything in so I can document it. If you seem overwhelmed, I’ll take you aside and check on you, and see what I can do to alleviate that. I connect with your most important people- your wedding party, your family- to help them feel calm too, so they can enjoy the day as it comes. 

 

I find that having a quiet, intentional approach to weddings allows me to better see my couples as exactly who they are. It helps me to serve you the best way I can. It also aligns me with my other core value of being present.

Being present is at the core of being human.

Being present has not always come naturally to me (fellow OCD girlies, rise up), but it has become an integral part of my work. I want you to be fully in the moment during your wedding, so I need to be as well. Of course, I give timeline assistance and know the order of operations— but weddings never go exactly to plan. I’ve become an expert at rolling with the punches.

 

 I think that is one of the most beautiful parts of life— that regardless of our plans, we never know exactly what will happen next.

It can be scary, but it’s so uniquely human. 

Who I Am

Now that you know about how I run my business, let's get to know each other as friends!

I'm a hopeless romantic (if you guessed that I'm a Cancer, you'd be right), so from the moment you choose me as your wedding photographer, I'm 100% invested in your love story. I love hearing you gush about all your little "relationship things."

​

I live in Baltimore City with my partner Tony, and much of our lives is spent with our loved ones. I believe quality of life is largely measured by the people you share it with. I spend a lot of my free time trying new recipes (or restaurants, let's be real), playing board games, taking dance classes, and spending time in nature. 

 

Aside from that, I'm a sucker for 70s and 80s rock and a die-hard super fan of Talking Heads. Like seriously, there's a Talking Heads tribute band in Baltimore that I've gone to see by myself because I'm simply ~obsessed~. 

​

Last, but certainly not least, I'm a total stage mom to my cat Goose (pictured below). I'm obsessed with her, obviously.

Thank you for getting to know me, I'm so happy you're here. Now it's your turn!

READY TO ROCK & ROLL?
