Hi, I’m Tina — the photographer, storyteller, and mama behind TinaMarie Photography.

I’m based in Southeast Michigan, and I specialize in photographing families, seniors, newborns, couples, and all the beautiful chapters in between. Photography has been part of my heart for as long as I can remember, but it truly came alive when I realized how quickly life moves—especially as a wife and mom of five amazing girls. Watching my own children grow, change, and step into new seasons opened my eyes to how important it is to freeze the moments we never want to lose.

I believe photography is more than just pictures.

It’s connection.

It’s emotion.

It’s storytelling.

It’s the ability to look back years from now and remember exactly how a moment felt.

My goal with every session is simple: to create images that feel real, warm, and full of heart.

I want your gallery to reflect your personalities, the way you laugh together, the way you hold your babies, the way your senior lights up in their element. I don’t force stiff poses or overly perfect moments—because the magic is always found in the natural, honest pieces of your story.

As a mama, I know that getting in front of the camera isn’t always easy, especially during the busy seasons of life. That’s why I focus on guiding you in a way that feels comfortable, natural, and fun. I’ll fix your hair, adjust tiny details, make your kids laugh, and help you feel confident and relaxed. I’m here to create a session experience that feels effortless from start to finish.

Whether I’m photographing a tiny newborn curled into mama’s chest, a senior stepping confidently into their future, or a family just being themselves, I put my whole heart into making sure every image reflects love, connection, and authenticity. These moments—your moments—matter. And I treat them that way.

When I’m not behind the camera, you can usually find me with my girls, cheering them on in their sports, editing with a coffee in hand, or chasing golden hour at our favorite spots around Plymouth, Northville, Livonia, Westland, and the Metro Detroit area. Family is at the center of everything I do, and that passion naturally flows into the way I photograph the families, babies, and seniors who trust me with their memories.

If you’re looking for a photographer who truly sees you, who celebrates your story, and who captures your life with honesty and heart — I’d be honored to be a part of your journey.

I can’t wait to create something beautiful together.
