Hi! I am Tintin, a newborn and family photographer located in Virginia beach, VA.

I am the face behind the camera of your newborn photoshoot!

Ever wondering why my business is called Light & Grace Photography? That’s because I am a believer and I want to shed light in all my family and friends’ lives and you’re among them! For me, photography is not just a job; it’s a calling and a way to serve others. I consider it a true blessing to be able to freeze precious moments and to celebrate the profound connection between you and your family through photography.

I take the time to understand your unique vision and preferences, customizing each portrait experience exclusively for you. I promise you will never feel rushed or inconvenienced. Whether it’s via email, phone calls, or text messages, I am readily available to answer your questions and offer suggestions throughout the entire process.

Worried about awkward posing and unruly toddlers? – You’re in good hands!

I totally get how awkward it can be in front of the camera—I feel ya because I’ve been there myself, always feeling awkward when having my own pictures taken! But don’t worry, I’m here to make this easy-peasy for you. I’ve honed my skills in helping you feel relaxed and confident while having your photo taken during your newborn or family photoshoot. If posing feels daunting or unfamiliar, don’t fret—I’ll be there to guide you through every movement, ensuring you look your best in every shot. 

And hey, the little ones? No problem! I’ve got a bag of tricks to capture those genuine smiles from your littles. Get ready – you will for sure see me bust out my silliest moves or make the funniest noise to get the shots you and your little ones deserve. They not only work for kids, oftentimes work for adults too! 😀
