A "Meant to Be" Baby

What a beauty of a day it was for a maternity photo shoot at Bowring Park!

And a beautiful mama to be!

Paula and Dale have a fairy tale story if ever I've heard one. They had both been longing to be parents, but it never came to be for a very long time.

Then sweet serendipity happened. 

You know, that unexpected meeting that changes your life . . .

Paula and Dale decided to start a family and 

two weeks later they were pregnant.

I like Paula's description. This is a meant to be baby. 

As you can imagine, they are both over the moon happy!

This will be one special and well loved little boy!

Thank you so much for allowing me to capture these

precious memories! I am humbled.

Here's your sneak peek, guys! I hope you enjoy!

Cheers, Tina B

The Lovely Lauren

Yay!! The weather cooperated today for Tina B Photography!

Yes, just for the lovely Lauren and I! :)

The light in Bowring Park this afternoon was absolutely dreamy! 

The stuff that fairy tales are made of.

Just perfect to create some beautiful memories for Lauren, her dad and her mom. 

You see, Lauren, their one and only daughter, is graduating Grade 8.

So, I arrived a little early to scout out the park and find the best spots. 

It's safe to say I have a new favourite shot! 

It's the only one I showed Dad on the back of my camera. 

I'm sorry, Duane, I have to say it . . . It made dad cry. That my friends, is a sign of a great portrait. One that causes an emotional reaction. 

After all, his beautiful baby girl is growing up.

Both Duane and Michelle are two proud parents. It is easy to see. 

Congrats Lauren. I hope you have fun tonight!

Thank you for allowing me to help create some forever memories.

A Modern Day Rosie the Riveter

There's a quote from the photography world which goes like this:

"Which of my photographs is my favourite? The one I'm going to take tomorrow."

There's a new favourite or two at Tina B Photography from today's photo shoot with the strong, creative, beautiful Vanessa! Truth be told, this genre of photography is my absolute favourite. 

And how could it not be! You see, I believe there is beauty in everything and everyone. I think that's why I love to shoot with a rugged, worn backdrop. Old root cellars, peeling red paint on an old barn or the historical backdrop of the old bunkers at Cape Spear.

I also believe there is beauty in each and every one of us and that we don't get in front of the camera often enough. Our photographs will be our memories long after we've forgotten. Remember what it feels like to look through an old photo album and recall precious memories? That time that Nan laughed so hard she was red in the face. Or that girls' trip to Vegas. Or that time when I bought those red shoes.

Today's photo shoot was such fun! Spending time with a strong, confident, beautiful woman who has recently accomplished the completion of a Masters degree in social work. How lucky am I?

Vanessa, you embody Rosie the Riveter! You can accomplish anything you set your mind to AND look good doing it! :)

I hope you had as much fun as I did. Thank you for stepping in front of my camera lens!

Oh, the Places She'll Go!

This past weekend at Tina B Photography was, once again, the most fun!

I had the privilege of doing a ballerina photo shoot 

with the beautiful and talented Maddie. 

And in one of the most beautiful places, Cape Spear, Newfoundland.

I could not wait to get back to my computer

and share this beauty with all of you!

Now if you've spent any time looking around my Facebook page, you may have seen 

the beautiful Maddie before. 

Check out this sweetness . . .

A much younger, but still just as beautiful Maddie. 

I wonder if her Mom and Dad knew back then

just where this little lady would take them.

The wonderful thing is that I've gotten to know who Maddie is through her Mom.

From the outside looking in I would use words like 

a talented, athletic, intelligent, grounded, responsible,

beautiful woman with true convictions.

This young lady is well on her way to knowing who she is and 

is not afraid to let the world know.

Seems to me like you and Francis have done a

fabulous job, Joselynn. <3 p="">

Thank you for allowing me the pleasure of having Maddie in 

front of my camera lens.

Believe me, it was totally my pleasure!

Cheers, Tina B

Truly a Gem

Every time there's a photoshoot at Tina B Photography 

it's an exciting day! 

Today, however, was an extra exciting day!

How often do you get the special privilege of photographing 

your childhood friend's daughter in her high school prom dress?!

Yes, you read it right. 

Lisa was practically my third sister growing up in Stanhope. 

She was a permanent fixture in our home. Fast forward to 2015 and she has 

a daughter graduating high school. 

Unbelievable! And obviously you and Mark did a fantastic job raising Bethany! 

She truly is a gem.

I had picked out these books for Bethany's photoshoot only to discover that she had actually read one of them. It was meant to be! I got goosebumps! Yes I did! ;)

Lisa, thank you so much for affording me the privilege today. I had a blast and I hope you all did, too.

Here's a little sneak peek!

All Things Vintage

Tina B was in her glee today!

 I've loved all things vintage since living in a house in Virginia 

filled with antiques from our landlady's antique shop.

Today I had the privilege of photographing a family in all of their vintage style! 

And let me tell you, they rocked it!

Remember this little jewel?

And this little charmer?

I can't believe it's been a year! Check out the cuteness overload!

What did I tell you?! 

These two cuties have the personality, character and soul 

that can only be found in all things vintage!

Adventures with Peter Rabbit

Our third little model of the day for 

Easter Mini Sessions at Tina B Photography was the lovely Eve! 

It is quite obvious that Eve dearly loves both her "mama" and her "dada." 

She wanted both of them close by for her adventures with Peter Rabbit! :)

Once she warmed up to the camera she was a natural! Loved her sweet, pink knitted dress which I think gave her mini session a beautiful vintage feel! She loved to see herself on the back of my camera! :) SUCH FUN!

Thank you guys for coming out to visit today! 

I had a great time capturing some forever memories.

Here's your sneak peek! Hope you enjoy!
