Gentle Posing
At Tina Marie Studio, I specialize in natural, lifestyle newborn photography in Tampa, with sessions designed to be as calm and baby-led as possible. Whether we’re photographing in the comfort of your home, my natural-light studio, or a blend of both, I focus on genuine connection over stiff poses — capturing your baby exactly as they are.
Sessions can take place:
- In my natural-light Tampa photography studio
- Outdoors during golden hour for that dreamy sunset glow
- In the comfort of your own home for a cozy, intimate feel
With a background as a neonatal therapist, I understand how to handle newborns safely and gently, following their cues and keeping them comfortable at every moment. My goal is simple: for you to feel relaxed, supported, and fully present with your baby.

Four Phases for Stress-Free, Beautiful Portraits
Studio, Lifestyle, or Golden Hour — Which NEWBORN Session Is Right for You?
My natural-light studio offers a serene, timeless setting with soft, neutral tones that flatter every skin tone. Here, we can create elegant, magazine-worthy portraits without worrying about the weather. The studio’s minimal backdrop keeps the focus on you, your connection, and the story you’re telling.
If you dream of photos that feel cozy and personal, an in-home session is perfect. We’ll use your own environment—your favorite chair, the nursery you’ve been preparing, even your morning coffee spot—to capture real, meaningful moments. Pets and children are welcome to join for an intimate family feel.
For a romantic, light-drenched look, we’ll meet at one of Tampa Bay’s stunning outdoor locations. Imagine flowing dresses, soft breezes, and the sun setting just behind you—nature’s own golden glow wrapping you in warmth.

Lifestyle Newborn Sessions at Home
Golden Hour Outdoor Newborn Photography
Your maternity portraits should feel like you. That’s why I offer three distinct session styles, each designed to capture your pregnancy in a way that feels natural and meaningful.
Wardrobe & Styling Support
Choosing what to wear for your newborn photos can feel like one more thing on your already full plate — especially when you’re navigating postpartum recovery and sleepless nights. As your Tampa newborn photographer, I make the process simple and stress-free with a curated client wardrobe and personalized styling support.
You’ll have access to a handpicked collection of dresses and gowns selected for their flattering silhouettes, soft textures, and timeless style — perfect for creating those light, airy portraits you’ll treasure forever. Whether you envision something elegant and romantic, modern and minimal, or cozy and relaxed for an at-home session, I’ll help you find the perfect look to complement your location and your family’s style.
We’ll also coordinate outfits for your partner and children so everyone looks cohesive yet comfortable. From soft knits and linen rompers for siblings to neutral, well-fitted pieces for dads, every detail is designed to keep the focus on connection and emotion. My personal stylist is available to guide you through color palettes, textures, and accessories, ensuring your whole family looks effortless in front of the camera.
The goal is simple: you feel comfortable, confident, and completely yourself — without the stress of last-minute shopping or second-guessing your choices.
Artwork & Keepsakes
Your newborn portraits are more than just beautiful images — they’re the very first chapter of your baby’s life story. These early days pass in the blink of an eye, which is why I believe they deserve more than to be tucked away on a hard drive or lost in a camera roll.
As a full-service Tampa newborn photographer, I offer heirloom-quality artwork designed to bring your memories into your daily life. Picture a linen-bound album you can page through with your child as they grow, or a framed print displayed in the nursery — a constant reminder of those tiny fingers, sleepy stretches, and the love that surrounded your baby from the very start.
Every collection includes a print credit so your memories live beyond the screen. You’ll be able to choose from handcrafted albums, fine art matted prints, and custom wall galleries — each made to last for generations. I’ll guide you through selecting pieces that complement your home’s style and feel, ensuring your artwork is as intentional as the photographs themselves.
Because these fleeting moments are too precious to be forgotten — they’re meant to be seen, touched, and treasured for a lifetime.
When to Schedule Your Newborn Photos
Pair Your Newborn Session With Maternity or Milestone Photography
The ideal window for newborn photography is typically within the first 7-21 days after birth. During this time, babies are sleepier, curl naturally into those sweet womb-like poses, and are less likely to be disturbed during transitions. That said, beautiful newborn portraits can be captured at any age — especially with my lifestyle approach that focuses on connection over perfect posing.
Many clients choose to bundle their maternity, newborn, and milestone sessions through The Baby Membership, which includes multiple sessions during your baby’s first year. This allows you to capture everything from pregnancy glow to sleepy newborn snuggles and beyond.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Should I book before or after my baby arrives?
A: It’s best to reserve your session during your second or early third trimester. This guarantees availability around your due date. Once your baby arrives, we’ll set a firm session date that works for your family’s recovery and comfort.
Q: What if my baby arrives earlier or later than expected?
A: I keep my calendar flexible to accommodate early and late arrivals. If your little one comes sooner (or needs extra time in the NICU), we’ll adjust your date as needed. My experience as a neonatal therapist means I’m especially comfortable with preemies and babies with medical needs.
Q: How long does a newborn session last?
A: Sessions typically last 2–3 hours, allowing time for feeding, soothing, and breaks as needed. My approach is baby-led, meaning we follow your newborn’s cues and never rush the process.
Q: What if my baby is fussy the entire session?
A: It’s more common than you think for newborns to have fussy moments during a shoot. We’ll take breaks for feeding, rocking, or diaper changes, and I’ll use gentle techniques to help soothe your baby. My calm, unhurried pace ensures we still capture beautiful, natural images, even if your baby isn’t sleeping the entire time.
Q: Can siblings and parents be included in the session?
A: Absolutely — in fact, I encourage it. Including parents and siblings adds depth and meaning to your newborn gallery. We’ll plan outfits and poses that make everyone feel comfortable and connected.
Q: When will I see my images?
A: Your private online gallery will be ready in about 2–3 weeks. Once you open it, you’ll have 24 hours to preview and decide on your package.

Tampa Portrait photographer
Hello, I'm Tina
For sentimental people with full hearts, growing families, and phones full of photos they keep meaning to print.
I’m Tina — a sentimental heart with a love for telling stories through photographs. As a certified neonatal therapist and speech-language pathologist with NICU experience, I bring an extra layer of care and expertise to newborn sessions.
When I first picked up my camera over five years ago, I knew I didn’t just want to take “pretty pictures.” I wanted to capture connection — the quiet anticipation before a baby arrives, the sleepy warmth of a newborn in your arms, the joyful chaos of toddlers, and the unspoken bond between two people in love.
I work with couples and families across Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Wesley Chapel, Brandon, and surrounding Gulf Coast areas, creating portraits that feel natural, light-filled, and full of emotion. When the session is over, I’ll help you turn your images into artwork you’ll treasure for decades.
I know these first days can feel like a blur — equal parts exhaustion, wonder, and a love so big it’s almost too much to hold.
My heart for newborn photography is to give you something that time can’t take away: a way to remember the tiny details, the way their fingers curled around yours, and the quiet weight of them in your arms.
Whether we’re in my sunlit Tampa studio or curled up in your living room, I’ll create a calm, gentle space where you can simply be together. No rush. No pressure. Just love, captured as it is right now — perfectly imperfect, and entirely yours.
Because one day, these will be the pictures you reach for when you want to remember exactly how it felt to bring them home.
