behind the lens
I'M Tate
mom of three, former nurse, and the photographer who gets it.
I became a family and newborn photographer to give moms the photos they’ve always dreamed of — the kind where they look beautiful, feel confident, and see the real joy in their family reflected back at them. I see you, and I’ll make sure your family does too.
Dallas - Ft. Worth Based newborn + Family photographer
My style is a blend of timeless portraits and candid moments — creating an elevated, relaxed experience that captures the real joy in your family while making sure that every mom looks and feels amazing. The result is a collection of authentic, joyful images you’ll love now and cherish for years to come.
