Free Session

I want to offer a free session to a deserving family for Thanksgiving & also for celebrating completion of my first year as a photographer! I do plan to do 2 such sessions on a yearly basis. I had done a similar free photography session for Mothers Day & I got so many wonderful stories from deserving Moms

You can either nominate yourself or someone you know. Please send me your (or their) story and I will announce the winner on my facebook page on October 19 so do 'like me' to stay tuned as well to get the update on the winner and also to keep in touch with me & see my photography work.. http://www.facebook.com/tiaphotography.net

The session will be on October 28th in Santa Clara so you have the pictures ahead of time to get printed for holidays!

Tia Photography First year journey!

I can't believe I reached this milestone :) I recently took pictures of a 9 month old whose Mom told me it was her dream to do a photosession for her daughter. I was so touched and perhaps that is why I feel so passionate about Children's photography. I am able to provide pictures that families will cherish forever. I want to thank all the wonderful Families for letting me photograph your children for giving me the love, support & encouragement. I am really touched & humbled...

How did it all start?

Photography started off as a hobby last year, my 1st year goal was to set up a portfolio of beautiful newborn images. I did that & much more than I ever imagined! I had families contact me for Childrens photography, Family sessions, Maternity, Cake Smash and I ended up having a portfolio in all these areas.. .I just couldn't refuse a single family & I just kept going, literally burning the mid-night oil & waking up early mornings finishing up my photo edits & spending my weekends on photo-sessions. With a full-time job and an active toddler, it was really tough but I enjoyed every minute of it!

Next year goals?

I am still trying to figure out my 2nd year goals but one thing I do know is that I'd like to take it a little slow and not do as many sessions as I did in the first year, I do want to do a lot more of nature photography which I absolutely love !! and I also want to do more volunteering photography for children or for families who probably cannot afford to hire professionals, I don't know how to go about doing it but that is one of my goals..
