As I sit down to write my 2025 end of year wrap up, I’m filled with gratitude and a deep sense of fulfillment. Every year, this post gives me the chance to pause, reflect, and truly see the work. I don’t mean just the images, but the relationships, growth, and intention behind them. This year, […]

Choosing a Maryland/DC Family Photographer can feel overwhelming, especially with so many options out there.

I’m sharing what to look for, what questions […]

Every family has their own story. Some are loud and messy, filled with belly laughs and crayon drawings on the walls. Others are quiet and steady, marked by knowing glances and well-worn routines. Some families look like the ones we grew up with, and others look entirely different—bound by love, not tradition. What unites them […]

I am going to let you in on a secret as a family photographer… having natural and effortless family photos actually does take some effort. A huge part of my job is helping you feel comfortable and confident throughout your session so that your final images feel so natural. Many families tell me that they’re […]

Christina Tundo Photography is SIX!!! It has been an amazing journey and every day I am SO thankful for the families that trust me with their memories year after year as their favorite Maryland family photographer! This business exists because of all of you – and I can’t say how special that feeling is, even […]

I am so excited to be sharing my first family feature with you! I’ve been photographing the K Family since 2018. I documented their engagement session (2018), wedding in January of 2019, post wedding reception party, extended family photos, milestones for their son, and most recently spring portraits of their family with their 2 little […]

If I were to ever specialize in one thing, in-home family photo sessions might be it. I recently photographed this beautiful family in their Baltimore home and their session reminded me just how obsessed I am with in-home family photos. I was so happy when they raved about how stress-free the session was throughout our […]

There is a running joke that Maryland could have all 4 seasons in a week, but it is SO true. In one week, we could see rain, snow, extreme heat, windy days, and storms… as well as gorgeous blue sky sunny days. But, as a Maryland family photographer, the weather definitely has an impact on […]

I love seeing families grow and change – it might be the most special part of my job! When Melanie of Melanie Jean Photography contacted me to document her family again to welcome their new daughter home, I was so honored. It feels like it was just yesterday, in the full-fledged pandemic, when I was […]

When planning your family photo session, there’s so much to think about. From locations, to the perfect outfits, to what time of day and who’s going to be taking your photos, a lot is already happening in the planning process. As a family photographer, I’ve also learned that the stress of family photos doesn’t end […]

The H Family is just the sweetest! They’re about to welcome baby #2, so we met for a gorgeous Lake Kittamaqundi maternity photos together to celebrate this big life change. Both mom and dad are nature lovers (and so is their little girl!), so it was important to find somewhere that would speak to their […]

In the DMV, many locations that my clients and I both love require photography permits. While planning a session, it can feel annoying or overwhelming to think about “one more thing” to organize before your session, photography permits really do matter. These locations use them for a variety of reasons. From maintaining the location, supporting […]

I’m not going to lie – one of my favorite messages to receive from a family is: “I have news, we are expecting.” My second most favorite message is: “Will you photograph our family when the baby arrives?” I absolutely love photographing families as they grow – whether it’s a new family to me, or […]
