About
If you are more interested in quality portraits that are a reflection of who you truly are, than you are in a bargain basement prices, then you are the kind of customer I would love to work with. It is important to me that you enjoy your shoot and have a great product when we are finished. I love working with couples for romantic photos, special occasions, etc. I can do both studio, as well as more natural setting outside. I've had a lot of experience doing portraits on the beach, but would also like to use unique locations, such as gritty buildings, fields of flowers, gardens, and historical points of interest. It's a big PLUS if you're an adventurous person or couple, making your session fun and a great experience for both you and the photographer. I am also available for head shots, graduation, proposals and engagements, real estate, anything with just one or 2 people. I prefer working with one on one, or just 2 people. Looking like every other photographer is not my goal. Capturing my clients as they truly are, is. Having people relax and enjoy the shoot is important, whether they are fun-loving or more serious minded. Even serious people can relax and enjoy the session. When looking for a photographer, it is important to understand that taking the photos requires much less time than post production. Depending on the requirements for the shoot, each photo can take up to 30 minutes (sometimes more) to edit. So an hour-long shoot is often 2-3 days worth of editing. Please note, that the prices quoted in Thumbtack are estimates. Each shoot is different and prices may vary. It all depends on what you wish to purchase. I let my clients decide what they want and how many. The only required fee is the session fee, which is also the deposit. After that, YOU select the photos once they've been edited and you see your gallery. So if you are looking for a good experience, with portraits that show the real you, I am your photographer. If you appreciate quality, then let's talk!! I would love to get to know you and become a photographer you can trust. Integrity is my middle name! :)

Linda was excellent to work with! She made the entire process super easy. Her communication was great - always quick to respond leading up to the day of the pictures. She was early to the photo shoot and ready to go. She was great with our 2 year old and captured so many great moments of her on the beach. She had our pictures back so quickly, as we were eager to see them. We definitely weren’t disappointed! Despite it being very cold on the beach that day, the pictures turned out amazing! Linda knew what lighting was the best and allowed many different options for us to chose from. She had an a la carte option so we were able to chose what we wanted. I can’t wait to see our new family pictures hanging in our home! Thanks again, Linda! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone and we will definitely use her again if we decide to get more pictures taken!

We absolutely loved working with Linda on our family photos! The process was seamless from the beginning. Linda was always very responsive and even sent some emails ahead of time helping with wardrobe decisions. The day of the shoot she was ready to roll and was an absolute saint with our two little guys who weren’t having the best of days. She managed to get them smiling and took advantage of even documenting some of our ‘less than perfect’ moments. The highlight for our 5 and 3 year olds was getting special treats from Ms Linda’s ‘special bag’ 😉. My younger son is still sleeping with the stuffed bunny she gave him. We were so happy with all the photos when she sent them to us to review. Her turn around time on getting us the photos was super fast as well. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Tides of Time Photography!!

Linda was amazing! She responded right away and was so kind and helpful and then went above and beyond even with my 4 year old taking a while to warm up. She somehow caught amazing photos of my family (even with my youngest not cooperating at first) on the beach that we will cherish forever! I highly highly recommend her for your photography needs! We cannot wait to use her again for future photos. You will not be disappointed with Tides if Time Photography. She even had a cute treasure box my children got to pick prizes from at the end. But honestly the photos and the hour session were so great! She is very good at her job!

Linda was wonderful to work with and was patient with my family. When you have 2 boys that sometimes bicker with each other she smoothed things over and was able to capture great memories! Would highly recommend Linda for your portraits!

Amy, I loved meeting you and your boys!! They are very nice young men, and handsome lads! :) Believe me, girls bicker also! (I know) But you can tell when a family loves each other and yours does! You are a ray of sunshine and I'm sure that your sons have benefited from you being their mom!! Thank you for the glowing review! I am so appreciative that you took the time and had such lovely things to say!! Best to you!
