About
Heya! My approach is to treat you like were old friends and get you up and moving to get authentic emotionally rich photos. None of that cheesey prom posing here. For engagement/couples sessions I love to start by giving you silly scenarios to act out (don't worry I will show you EXACTLY what I mean so there's no room awkwardness) then we move in to more challenging posing. I promise to never leave you hanging and will keep an eye on all your limbs to make sure you look great! For weddings my approach is to capture things as they naturally unfold. I LIVE for the little moments, the intimate kisses and the unopposed beauty of a wedding day. That being said, I am not afraid to be like "why don't we have mom stand there you and put you dress on here because the light is BANGING in this corner." I call it "Curated reality" It's your authentic wedding day with my expertise to made sure it's beautifully documented. I blog all my sessions so definitely check that out on my site!

Hired on Thumbtack

I’ve never hired a photographer before, and Tia was helpful in answering all of my questions. I live in New York and having someone who knew the turf in New Orleans meant a lot to me since I wanted our shoot to be representative of our engagement and my love for NOLA. Tia was so understanding! As we headed to meet her, an impromptu parade popped up and we sat in an uber for half hour trying to get to her. I was sure that the shoot wouldn’t happen, but she kept in touch with me and waited for us— we were essentially an hour late! I was beside myself in a crappy mood, with no desire to take lovey photos but her positive demeanor and genuine interest in our story truly made me feel at ease and lifted my spirits— never mind that the gal took so much more time away from her own schedule to photograph us. We moved through the French quarter fairly quickly, taking snaps by colorful walls and doors and with some backdrop of classic New Orleans. Many of the photos are closeups of us laughing hard and some have that New Orleans charm that I really desired. We got our photos promptly and were able to review them and share them. I would recommend Tia for any and all of your photography needs. She’s so cool and so badass, we left NOLA feeling like we made a new friend.

Tia was amazing! She was so flexible and accommodating, and her work is gorgeous. We wanted to get family photos with our pup while he wast still little, and even though puppy energy can be exhausting, Tia didn't seem phased at all. I love how dedicated to the craft she is, too (I'm sure there are grass stains on her legs as proof!). The pictures are exactly what we hoped for: adorable, sweet, and some are hilarious!

We had a lovely engagement shoot with Tia, and I would recommend her to friends and family. While my husband wasn't particularly excited about the idea of having photos taken, I was hoping for high-quality professional photos to share with our Save-the-Dates. Tia ended up taking us on what felt like a casual walking tour of the prettiest parts of the French Quarter, where we stopped now and again for a few photos before continuing on our walk. Her laid-back yet professional demeanor meant she didn't push us to do cheesy poses or feel awkward during the shoot, which made for great photographs! I'd gladly hire Tia again for future photography needs.

I had a really positive experience with Tia. I wanted headshots and some professional/casual photos for my new business' website, but this really didn't know what I wanted with any detail, and she helped walk me through the process, chose some locations, helped with wardrobe selection. As someone who is self proclaimed unphotogenic, she was particularly excellent about helping me pose in flattering angles. She even let me take a silly picture! This was a relaxing, quality experience, and the final product looks great.
