Welcome to EVOKE- I'm Tina
Mother to 3 of the spunkiest, funkiest awesome kiddos. They're the spark that lights my soul and I'm SO lucky to be their momma. They're always my biggest muse and it's pretty cool how they're always down to let me photograph them.
My better half is Denis- He's patient, kind, full of energy, and is always ready for an adventure. He continuously inspires and motivates me to follow my dreams and be the best version of myself through his unwavering support.
I am a native Floridian for generations... I love learning about the history of Florida and enjoying everything this wild place has to offer. The fam and I love to go on adventures, take the old Land Rover or 4 wheelers off-road, watch some live music, discover a gem while thrifting, or enjoy a yummy dinner we made together. I have a thirst to experience every aspect of life so I'm out here living it up!
A peek at our crazy beautiful life...
Adventures of me and the kiddos.
How did I get into photography?
At 16, I started teaching at a modeling school, where we worked with children on how to walk on a runway, fashion & makeup trends, and best of all they had their very own photo sessions...It was there that I watched countless shy girls burst with confidence and find their own beautiful self and personality.
The owners could see I was really into the photography side and gave me my very own introduction to Photoshop. I quickly became obsessed in how to make an already beautiful photo really pop! This lead to me eventually picking up a camera of my own.
I worked there on and off into my 30's while also owning my photography business. It was the most fun and the best part was the self esteem and growth I saw in these kids.
What I came to realize- it wasn't just a photoshoot, it was also a confidence boost.
Getting dolled up and having a great time shooting is something I want everyone to experience; Who doesn't love and feel great when they see a great photo of themself?
This is something I want to do for you! Let's take some great photos and have fun while doing it!
