ABOUT ME

Hello wonderful person! I'm so glad that you found your way to this page to get to know me a little better.

Now... where to begin? 

I am a mother of two & loving every bit of it! I'm someone who really tries to keep things real. It's so easy, this time of age, to really filter & curate what you want others to see through social media tools. Now, I'm not saying that I'm perfect. I definitely feel like I fail sometimes, but I really, truly try my best to be simply me. I'm full Filipino & love everything about it! I'm married to the coolest & tallest dude on the block. His name is Dan & he really is 6'7ft! He is the biggest supporter in my life & my rock. I wouldn't being doing what I love if it wasn't worth for him. I studied photography in college & never would have dreamed for it to be the career that is it today. To all my past, current, & future clients - I wouldn't be where I am today without you! It is such a honor to be brought into people's lives to photograph the  big moments. Ever since I was a little girl, I've always thought about how there are billions of people on this earth & each and every one of them is experiencing something in their lives. Me being a photographer has given me the chance to somehow be a part of some of these peoples lives & capture a moment for them to remember forever. Just being welcomed into a life & a big moment is so special to me. It is only my honor to help tell their story through my imagery. 

There's so much more that makes me, me. I love my family,  coffee, fries, light, my dog, & coffee. I'm always an open book & I want to get to know you & your story. Feel free to reach out whenever! You can find me on social media (links down below) & on email tinaraephoto@gmail.com. I hope to hear from you in the future!
