Thoughts, tips, and honest takes from a photographer who loves beautiful light and even better stories.
Hi, We're Tina Marie Studio

Are you wondering if newborn photography is worth the cost? I get it. It can feel like a big expense, but let’s talk about why it’s such a smart choice.

I’m Here to Make Newborn Photography Easy

As a newborn photographer in Tampa, I’m here to make everything smooth and stress-free for you. I know you’re busy and want photos that feel warm, loving, and timeless.


Newborn Photography Takes Special Skills

Taking pictures of a tiny baby is different from taking pictures of grown-ups. Babies need gentle handling, safe posing, and a calm, cozy space. I’ve had lots of training to make sure your baby is safe and happy during the session.

Need cute baby clothes or nursery décor? I love the selection at Pottery Barn Kids and Nordstrom Baby.


It’s Not Just the Session Time

When you book a newborn session, you’re not just paying for the time we spend together. You’re also paying for my experience, my special cameras and use of light, and all the time I spend editing your photos to make them perfect.


How Much Does Newborn Photography Cost in Tampa?

Every photographer is different, but most newborn sessions in Tampa cost between $600 and $2,500. My sessions include a full-service experience, with beautiful printed art for your home, plus digital files when you buy artwork.


Why It’s Worth It

Newborns change so fast. One minute they’re so tiny and new, and the next they’re rolling over and smiling at you. These photos freeze that sweet, sleepy stage forever. One day, your child will look at those photos and see how loved they were from the very start. Newborns change so fast.

Tampa Portrait photographer

Hello, I'm Tina

Why I do this work

I came to photography through an unusual path—as a certified neonatal therapist and Pediatric SLP working with fragile newborns in the NICU and helping families navigate infant feeding challenges.

When I picked up a camera, I brought that clinical expertise with me. I understand infant state regulation, feeding cues, and developmental stages in ways that shape how I approach every session. I know which newborn positions are medically sound and developmentally appropriate. I recognize when babies need breaks before they start crying. I understand toddler behavior and teenage communication styles.

This expertise creates sessions that are safer for newborns, calmer for toddlers, and actually enjoyable for reluctant teens and partners. Combined with museum-quality products and personalized styling, you get an experience—and artwork—that reflects the boutique, full-service approach Tampa Bay families expect.
