• 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!

TESTIMONIALS

What my happy clients are saying.

Joanie

[After seeing retouched images] Wow—wonderful! At first I almost couldn’t tell on the retouched versions, as I could still see all my laugh lines. Then I downloaded them and looked side by side [with the original photos]. The retouching is amazing—the coloring is better and I can see just the slight “upgrades.” It’s terrific. And thank you for doing this so very quickly!

My thanks again. You are a true pro!

I was in desperate need of quality professional photo for my job search. Tamzin put me at ease during the photo shoot, and proposed numerous styles and angles. [The final portrait] exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Tamzin—she’s great!

Estefania Tamzin is great! I needed headshots done in a hurry and Tamzin was there to save the day! She was flexible and easy to work with. She is an artist and her business acumen is top notch. - Estefania
