My name is Tina, and I LOVE what I do!

My passion for photography began back in high school. Whenever my friends and I went anywhere, I was always the one with the camera. I would take photographs everywhere we went. Today, I have the privilege of photographing the most precious moments in your lives and I couldn’t be happier to have this honor.

I am a daughter, a wife, a mother, a business owner and a photographer. I married the love of my life in ’94. Paul and I dated for 3 years before we said “I do” and, in fact, I almost canceled our first date. I am very glad today that I didn’t cancel the date. We have two lovely children. Alex, who was born in 1999, and Elise, who was born in 2001. They mean everything to us! Alex is extremely inquisitive and intelligent and Elise is very creative and imaginative. To me family is everything and that is why I like helping families to preserve a piece of their history.

I am an active member of the Professional Photographers of America and the Connecticut Professional Photographers Association. In 2002, I was president of the Connecticut Professional Photographers Association. I am the recipient of numerous and prestigious awards for my photography including the Fuji Masterpiece Award, Hallmark Award (Best in Show Color Portrait), Roland Laramie Award (Highest Scoring Print), the Reuben Schaller Award (Best Portrait of a Child), the Gerri Karamesini Memorial Award (for best use of props in a photograph) and the Portrait Court of Honor.

My photographic aim is to not only capture an image, but to also capture the heart behind the image. I believe that my clients deserve only the very best, and I am committed to making sure their portraits reflect the finest artistic quality. I work really hard at seeing the person that is inside and then photographing them in a way that captures their true personality.

I look forward to getting to know you and learning about your photographic needs as the first step toward a long-lasting photographer-client relationship. It is my goal to be your only choice for professional photography throughout the years. Once you become a part of the Uniquely Yours family, you will surely feel the same way!

A personal work of art can be created for you… either at my studio, at your home or on location of your choice. Uniquely Yours Photography is committed to creating a lasting keepsake that you and your family will treasure forever.
