Hello, I’m Tina. I’m originally from Petaluma, a small dairy town in Northern California. After spending 11+ years in Austin, Texas (where I first picked up a camera!), I now call Asheville, North Carolina my home. You’ll find me running in the mountains with my dog, Jones, eating vegetarian tacos, and spending time at live music shows with a beer in hand.
I was first inspired to learn about photography when I was competing in ultra marathons around the world. My experiences were captured by the incredible race photographers (see above) - and I will be forever grateful to them. Certainly taking pictures seemed easier than running 150 miles across the desert, right? While the jury is still out on which is harder, I’ve found a passion for trying to capture feelings in photographs.
I’m a “natural setting” photographer, meaning I don’t really want to be in a studio. I believe in working with natural light, nature, and real settings to achieve the most authentic and beautiful photos.
Let’s have some fun y’all.
