I’m a 32 year old fur-momma, married to the love of my life and the ultimate 5th wheel. I say that cause we are totes going to be best friends! I’m also a LARP-ing, video-gaming, book dragon and I’ve been honored to be called the “cool and fun aunt”.
I picked up my first film camera in high school, as a means to fill an art slot. I”m no artist - I can’t draw, sketch or paint to save my life, and my graphic design skills at that time were that of a 90’s kid (see: neons and vibrant non-cohesive colors).
My grandfather gifted me one of the few film cameras he owned, a Pentax K1000, of which I still own and use regularly. After using it for this class, shooting, developing, and the printing - the whole old fashion works - with the chemicals, I was growing a new passion and appreciation for this art form.
I feel in love with the light and shadow, and even more so with how a story can be told with something so simple as a photograph.
It was from this new found love of storytelling through photographs that brings me to what I’ve been passionately doing for the last decade.
I'M TINARA, YOUR BESTIE AND 5TH WHEEL! I ALSO TAKE PRETTY PICTURES.

Step #3: Style it, Accessorize it
Once your session is booked, I provide you with exclusive resources to help you prepare for your session, one of which is a Style and Wardrobe guide! You don't want to be caught in outfits that just are vibing with the photo session you were hoping for, and thats where these come in! Oh yeah, these will be beyond Pinterest ready.
Step #4: Make. Real. Memories
This isn't just a glorified photo shoot. These are real memories taking place. I create a space for you create and live out real memories during your photo session. With activity suggestions, allowing you to lead with personality and games, you'll never want to go back to boring photo sessions ever again. Each little moment brings out real laughter and true smiles!
Step #5: Enjoy Your Photographs
Finally, when your photo session is completed we will meet again to design your forever keepsakes and Besoke items. Of course this is completely optional, I strive to provide you with more than just a digital footprint that may or may not wind up lost in a junk drawer one day - or worse, on a temporary social media server never to be seen again ("f" in chat for the myspace days)
