Hey, i'm tina d
I'm your local photographer behind the lens, capturing life’s most meaningful moments. Born and raised on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, I know and love this coastline deeply, though there’s always more to explore.
I’m a mum, a wife, a daughter, a sister, and a friend to many. I'm a big believer in embracing the beautiful chaos of family life, while staying connected to what matters most: creativity, connection, and presence. I’m drawn to the quiet, in-between moments, the laughter, the love, and the authenticity that makes your story uniquely yours.
Whether it’s a family session, a milestone event, or your business, I approach every shoot with care and a relaxed, natural style, documenting your story honestly and beautifully.

Coffee is non-negotiable — strong, daily, and usually my first priority.

STEP 01
enquire
Send an enquiry via email, phone or DM with your preferred session type, and I'll contact you to guide you through the entire process. I’ll find an available date that suits us both and once confirmed, I’ll send you a simple booking link to secure your session. From there, we’ll bring your vision to life.
STEP 02
your session
I'll always contact you the week and day of your session to confirm time and location, just in case the weather isn't behaving for us, or there is an unlikely event that the session needs to be reschduled. My sessions are relaxed and conversational, allowing you to stay present while I capture natural, candid moments with you and your loved ones.
STEP 03
Gallery delivery
After your session, you’ll receive a sneak peek, followed by your full proofing gallery to view and select your favourite images.
FAQ
This is my first photoshoot, what do i need to know?
To be honest, not much. Come as you are and feel relaxed, I’ll guide you through the session, so there’s no need to worry about anything. Most importantly, just be present and enjoy the moment while I capture it naturally for you. If you have little ones, I find most of my families organise a special treat for them towards the end of the session or just after.
Are the travel expenses included in your packages?
Within Sydney’s Northern Beaches and North Shore - yes. Locations outside this area may incur a small travel fee.
Can you recommend any locations?
Absolutely, there are SO many beautiful locations and i'm more than happy to make some recommendations or work with your chosen location.
i'm not 'great' in front of the camera - what do i do?
Don't worry, i will guide you every step of the way throughout your session, from candid moments to natural poses, i'll make sure you feel comfortable at every moment. I even try to crack some of my best dad jokes and often get the kids involved in playing 'photographer'.
what on earth do i wear?
Almost anything if fine, but I will work with you on an overall look and feel and have many examples of work i can show you to help you and your family decide on what to wear. Generally, neutrals are always good, and avoid anything patterned or with big large logos, unless that's your vibe and we will totally work with that.
