• You know you need a professional portrait, but dread the thought of having your picture taken. You know how important a good portrait is for your website, blog, online dating and social media profiles. You know that viewers are making immediate, unconscious judgments of you based on your profile portrait—or lack thereof—compelling them to either engage or to move on. 

    I know… and I feel your pain—I don’t like to be photographed either, and I used to be a model! But it’s all about first impressions—made in seconds, often correct, hard to change. So I’m really glad you’re here, because I can help you make the very best first impression wherever your portrait is seen!

    I specialize in creating captivating portraits—without the pain!—for people and businesses in the DC-metro area. Whether it’s a headshot that’s all-business for your LinkedIn profile and website about-me page; a casual but polished shot for your blog or branding; or a capture of the most vivacious, irresistible version of you for online dating, social media, or sharing with loved ones, I guarantee the experience will be fun, memorable, and—most important—painless. NEW: in-studio dog portraits!

    Are you ready for a pain-free portrait experience? Contact me today to chat or to schedule a session: call 301-509-1747 or email me.

ABOUT ME… NUTSHELL VERSION

I’m Tamzin—a portrait photographer who creates pain-free portraits for personal branding, business and social media, online dating profiles, or simply for personal enjoyment (recently added: dog portraits!), serving all kinds of people and businesses in the Washington, DC area. I love hiking with my husband and dog, cooking and eating whole foods, Crossfit workouts and weightlifting, good dark chocolate and barbeque. I’m also a productivity junkie, a life hacker, and can’t seem to settle on a hair style.

Thanks for stopping by… Poke around to learn more about me and my work, my services, the experience, what clients are saying and other good stuff. I hope you enjoy your visit!

Today was a ton of fun and you had me at ease the whole time. Certainly not as painful as I thought it would be, although it did take me an hour to warm up after we were done [photographing outdoors]. I’m excited to push a ton of business your way… Thanks, you are the best!

Michael I used Tamzin for professional head shots of our senior management team. She provided clear and prompt communication and was quick to fit us into her schedule. During the shoot, she was very professional and put her subjects at ease. The final photos we received were excellent. - Michael
