I love the balmy feeling of sunbeams on my skin and the scent of salt air. I love the way it smells just before it rains, when the tree leaves turn over to catch the rain drops. I love the vibrant colors of autumn and the warm feeling of cozy sweaters. I love to sit wrapped snug in a knit blanket sipping a cup of cocoa and watching the silently falling snow, to see it in the sunlight like a million gleaming diamonds. I love living in Maine, enjoying the best of all of the seasons and sharing my visions of them with all of my friends, old and new.
I am a portrait photographer specializing in children's portraiture and high school seniors. I work mostly throughout Maine and New Hampshire but am available to travel pretty much anywhere. My work has been published in both calendars and magazines and has been on display in galleries both here in Maine and at the National Lighthouse Museum in Staten Island, New York.
Testimonials
We couldn't have wished for a better photographer to photograph our sunrise ceremony! I was coming to Maine to elope with my fiance. I worked with Tina for several months leading up to the wedding day via email. After ironing out all the details of what we wanted - the day finally arrived and she went above and beyond our expectations! She was so helpful and creative and incredibly accommodating - agreeing to meet us on the beach at 5am. She has so many great ideas for poses and pays attention to the smallest detail. The photos were delivered in a timely fashion and were absolutely fabulous. She has since taken family photos for us with our first child and we still love looking at the photos on the wall of our wedding day. I hope to continue to have Tina photograph our growing family in the years to come. ~Robin
My family was in town and I wanted to get some family photos taken at the beach for my parents as a gift. Tina was on time and was able to get the attention of 3 very active children. The family shots were amazing and her candid shots were spectacular. I will definitely use Tina Bark Photography again! ~ Stephanie
Man, I don't even know where to start!! She's absolutely fabulous to work with, she's punctual, professional and joyful. I mean really, the early morning beach shoots are brutal but she's so happy and excited that it makes you feel the same way and you have loads of fun!! When she did my senior pictures she told me her ideas, I told her mine and we got some amazing photos from it! I don't know anyone else who you could just meet and feel comfortable with like Tina. Yes she's your photographer but she also makes it feel like you're having fun with a friend. I've had several shoots with her and I haven't been the least bit disappointed. PHENOMENAL EXPERIENCE! If you have the chance to do so, I'd definitely hire Tina. ~ Jenna
