In-home family photos are probably my favorite way to document my CTP families. The images and moments we capture just feel so authentic and true to who you are. Getting ready for family photos – whether they’re at your home or on location – does require a little bit of prep work. As your Maryland […]

Another year is coming to an end at Christina Tundo Photography. Every year, I sit down to do this wrap up blog and it’s such a special time. Honestly, it sounds super dorky but this is like my own end of year holiday party. Join in the celebrations as I recap how 2023 went for […]

One of the things that’s most important to me as a family photographer is capturing photos of your family that actually feel like YOU. There’s certainly a place for the photo of everyone smiling at the camera for your holiday card. But the photos that you’re going to display in your home are the ones […]

One of the recent couples I photographed a maternity session for has welcomed their baby girl to the world! I had the honor of capturing their newborn portraits at home to celebrate. Their newborn session also featured their little one’s aunt, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Having them there made their lifestyle newborn portraits even more meaningful […]

M and E are the cutest! During my peony parenthood portraits (which are always super popular) in Gaithersburg, I photographed M and E in a mommy and me session. Mom realized that she doesn’t have a lot of photos of just her and her kids, so she planned a session for her and her little […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
