Hi, We're Tina Marie Studio

Are you expecting and thinking about scheduling newborn photography in Tampa but have a million questions? Don’t worry—I’m here to help!

At Tina Marie Studio, I specialize in capturing the love, warmth, and tiny details of your baby’s first days so you can cherish them forever. Let’s walk through the most common questions I get from parents like you.

“What should I look for when hiring a newborn photographer?”

First, make sure your photographer is trained in newborn safety and has plenty of experience working with babies. At Tina Marie Studio, I bring a unique blend of photography skills and neonatal therapy expertise. As a certified neonatal therapist, I’ve completed extensive training in developmentally appropriate handling and positioning of babies—ensuring your little one is safe and comfortable during every pose.

For more information about neonatal therapy, check out the National Association of Neonatal Therapists. I believe every baby deserves to be photographed in a safe, loving way that captures their unique story.


“What can I expect during a Tampa newborn photography session?”

My sessions are calm, warm, and relaxed. I create a cozy environment with soft wraps, neutral colors, and beautiful natural light—perfect for those sleepy, snuggly moments. You can even be part of the photos! Parents and siblings are always welcome.

We’ll take our time, with plenty of breaks for feeding, cuddles, and diaper changes. I’ll guide you every step of the way so you feel confident and at ease.

“Do I need to bring anything?”

You don’t have to bring much—I have soft, neutral wraps and simple props that match my timeless style. If you’d like to include something special, like a family heirloom or a favorite swaddle, I’d love to make it part of your session. If you’re looking for unique baby items, check out local shops like Oat Co or Ellie B’s here in Tampa.


“When will I get my photos?”

Your photos will be ready to view about 2-3 weeks after your session. We’ll meet for a special viewing appointment where you can choose your favorite images and design beautiful artwork for your home. I’ll guide you through everything—from selecting prints and albums to deciding on frames that match your style. I trust top-quality vendors like Indie Print CoRed Tree Albums, and The Photographer’s Framer to create heirloom pieces you’ll love forever.

“How much does newborn photography in Tampa cost?”

Newborn photography is an investment in memories you’ll treasure forever. At Tina Marie Studio, sessions start at $700 and go up depending on the artwork you choose. I offer a beautiful Keepsake Collection that captures your motherhood journey from bump to baby’s first year—so you never miss a milestone.

This collection includes:
✨ Maternity session
✨ Newborn session
✨ Milestone sessions
✨ A complete album or wall art to showcase your family’s story


“Why is newborn photography worth it?”

Your baby is only this tiny once. These photos freeze time, letting you relive those sweet, sleepy days again and again. They’re more than just pictures—they’re love letters to your baby, showing them how cherished they’ve been since the very start.

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.
