SF BAY AREA LIFESTYLE PHOTOGRAPHY — COUPLE, MATERNITY, FAMILY, PET, AND ALL YOUR PRECIOUS MOMENTS.
Your Picture-Perfect moments, Captured with love!
HEARTFELT PORTRAITS WITH CINEMATIC SOUL
I focus on capturing genuine moments that reveal your true personality, from natural expressions to the subtle gestures that make you uniquely you. By blending candid storytelling with thoughtful posing guidance, I create heartwarming, cinematic images with vivid color, strong contrast, and a balanced mix of cool and warm tones.
So glad you're here! I am Tina.
I'm the photographer and designer behind tjsnap :) I’ve been living in the San Francisco Bay Area for 15+ years—a place that’s shaped so much of who I am, both personally and creatively. I offer photography services in both English and Korean, with a focus on lifestyle portraits for individuals, couples, families, and pets.
With a background in graphic design, I bring a strong sense of composition, color, and visual storytelling into my photography. This blend allows me to merge my love for design with my passion for connecting with people and telling meaningful, human stories. I care deeply about creating sessions that feel honest, warm, and true to you.
It’s always an honor to be invited into someone’s life, even for a brief moment, to create something meaningful together. If you’re looking for a photographer who will tell your story with care and heart, I’d love to connect. Let’s talk about your picture-perfect moments today!

Tina is everything you could want in a photographer—friendly, professional, and talented! You can clearly see that she is very passionate about capturing special moments and genuinely wants you to have a great time during the session. We were so happy with how the photos turned out—they’ve quickly become our favorite pictures as a couple! We adore every single image. You won’t regret having your photos taken by Tina. We can’t recommend her highly enough! — L & S

We had an amazing experience working with Tina! We are a couple visiting from Mexico, and this session was for a very special moment, our marriage proposal. She made everything incredibly easy from the beginning. During the shoot, she guided us with poses and helped us feel natural and comfortable the entire time, which made a huge difference in the photos. Her professionalism and positive attitude really stood out. Tina is also extremely dedicated and available, she truly goes above and beyond to make sure everything turns out perfectly. We would absolutely book with her again if we return to San Francisco! Highly recommended!— J & M

티나작가님과 좋은 계기로 촬영하게 되었습니다. 지금껏 여러번 사진 촬영을 해보았지만 이렇게 즐겁고 마음 편한 촬영은 처음이었던 것 같아요. 처음 장소 결정부터 모든 사전 준비과정들도 세심하게 배려해서 리드해주시고, 촬영 내내 디렉션과 리액션도 너무 밝게 해주셔서 어색하지않고 즐겁게 촬영했어요. 특히 강아지가 처음 하는 촬영이라 어려울까 걱정했는데 작가님이 전문적으로 잘 이끌어주셔서 정말 즐거운 추억이 된 것 같아요. 특히 촬영본 받은 후에는 너무 마음에 들어서 몇시간 내내 사진만 봤네요! 언제든지 가족 촬영 혹은 추억 남길 일이있으면 또 작가님께 부탁드릴 것 같아요. 커플 스냅, 가족 스냅, 반려동물 스냅 모두 정말 추천합니다! :) — P & L & T

Absolutely loved my session with Tina. She showed up early to scout out the best spots and guided us through the shoot with confidence and warmth. She’s fantastic with dogs. Our golden, Milly immediately felt comfortable with her. And, she managed to capture moments that genuinely felt like “us.” The final photos are stunning, and the entire experience was efficient, friendly, and stress-free. If you’re looking for a photographer who delivers beautiful work and is wonderful to work with, she’s the one. I’d highly recommend her. — A & S & M
🖤WHAT MY CLIENTS SAID🖤
Tina was incredibly kind, warm, and easy to connect with. We exchanged ideas ahead of time about what we were looking for and the best spots in our home, and she completely got our vibe. She agreed to do the shoot at home, which made the experience feel personal, intimate, and relaxed. We’re usually not very comfortable in front of a camera, but Tina made us feel completely at ease. She brought such positive energy, added fun touches with a few thoughtful items, and made the whole session effortless and joyful. The quality and style of the pictures are stunning and captured who we are so beautifully. Tina is an absolute joy to work with, incredibly talented, and we would recommend her with our eyes closed for any photoshoot. — H & F

첫 반려견과 함께 찍은 사진이 없어 늘 마음에 후회가 남아 있던 저는, 예든이와는 꼭 추억을 남기겠다고 다짐했고 Pet & I 세션으로 촬영하게 되었어요. 작가님도 강아지를 키우고 계셔서 그런지 확실히 다른 섬세함이 느껴졌고, 겁이 많은 예든이도 티나님의 “펍컵!” 소리에 집중하며 촬영에 잘 참여해 주었어요! 무엇보다 초보라 어색했던 저희도 따뜻하게 응원해 주신 덕분에 자연스러운 표정과 포즈로 촬영할 수 있었습니다. 펫로스로 힘들어하던 시기에 찾아와준 저의 작은 천사와 잊지 못할 추억을 만들어 주셔서 진심으로 감사드려요! 오래오래도록 간직하고 싶은 사진들이에요~:) — G & E
