Washington DC’s premier portrait photographer  

“Thank you Tina for the amazing photos and more importantly the amazing experience. You are an amazing photographer and pretty special person.”

Tina instantly makes you feel comfortable once you walk into the studio. She gives you an experience from beginning to end. The photoshoot will always be a great memory of mine. She will guide you during the whole process and get all your angles!! I loved my photos! They were beautiful!”

“I am in love with the portraits Tina took of me. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2022 and struggled with self image issues after all my surgeries. I saw that Tina was going to be at the same conference I was going to and booked her.

I just wanted to see myself in photos as beautiful, strong, vulnerable and healed topped with joy and love. She delivered it all. It’s exactly what I needed. Thank you Tina for being apart of my healing journey!”

“Tina is absolutely fabulous! Shooting with her is so much fun- she is open to hearing your ideas and shares her insights for poses which gives a sense of ease and flow. (I know I needed her direction;)). You will love a day with Tina! 10/10 recommend.”

“Thank you, Tina for empowering me to be the best sexy version of myself. I am grateful for the experience and the opportunity to get to work with you. You are a talented photographer.”

“Once I saw Tina's fabulous work with her modern portrait shoots, I decided that I really wanted nice pictures of myself. As a successful, single woman in my mid-thirties I decided that I wanted to celebrate the person that I am and capture this beautiful moment in my life. I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I have ever made

This entire experience was so amazing. When I decided to do the shoot, one of the reasons was because I feel like I am more confident now than I ever have been. But participating in the shoot the day of and receiving my photos has completely blown my mind. Some times I look at my photos and think "That's me. I'm such a gorgeous, strong, bad ass." And other times I look at them and I can't believe that person in the photos is me. Tina truly captured all the different sides of me during the shoot and I couldn't be happier.

This was truly one of the best experiences I have ever had. Tina is so wonderful to work with. She made the whole experience easy and comfortable. I could not be more happy with my decision to do the shoot and the resulting photos. Cannot wait to do another shoot in the future!”

“There is nothing like the Tina Leu experience. She captures the best version of you, and whatever comes out that is not the best, she does a complete 180 to show you that it IS your best. Many local photographers focus on family pictures but Tina is truly one-of-a-kind and focuses on the individual with a particular interest in skin in all its shapes and forms.

Tina did a couples shoot with us which isn't a regular offering, but Tina DELIVERED. My husband and I have built an incredible life for ourselves and it was great to create a piece of art with her that perfectly displays how it all started - with just us two. I adore Tina and her work forever!!!”

“I see myself in a whole new light. I am much more comfortable with my strengths and feel better about emphasizing my natural features/style!

Tina has made my self-esteem rise higher than it’s ever been before! She is the most encouraging, motivational, and kindhearted photographer out there! I am forever grateful.”

“Working with Tina was an incredible gift. I’m very critical of myself, so I was a bit nervous about how a photo shoot would go. But from moment I walked in I felt at ease. The hair/makeup stylist made me feel glamorous and gorgeous, while still keeping the look natural.

When being photographed, Tina kept the room comfortable, kept me moving, laughing and enjoy the experience. I did not feel awkward, instead it felt like I was celebrating myself and all that I have overcame and accomplished. Thank you Tina for this once in a lifetime opportunity. I could not be more pleased.”

“Tina of Tina Leu Fotos was the BEST photography experience I have ever had!! She made me feel free to be me! We laughed the entire time and she used that to her advantage to capture the best of me.

From the moment I walked in she had a variety beverages with a personalized sign to greet me, she asked me what kind of music would make me feel comfortable and relaxed. She was very professional the ENTIRE time.

Tina's passion shines through the quality of her work. This wasn't a photoshoot, it was a photography EXPERIENCE! I would recommend Tina 100%.”

“Tina provides a safe space where a different side of you feels empowered to come out and be captured in front of the camera. This is the best gift for yourself, friend or family member to have an unforgettable experience.”

“This experience has definitely boosted my confidence. The photos really captured me and how I'd like to see myself all the time: powerful, sexy, joyful, and a queen!”

“I am typically a commercial-print model and I was looking for something with edge and class and that’s exactly what I got. My expectations were exceeded.

I typically am not "wowed" at my photos. I was TOTALLY "WOWED" by my pics with Tina. YOU WILL NOT REGRET THIS INVESTMENT!!

Honestly, no one has been able to capture me the way that Tina has. She provides such a wonderful experience during each session. I am so glad I shot with her and EXPERIENCED Tina Leu!”

“Tina is amazing! I actually booked Tina on a last minute cancellation with only two days to prepare. Despite the short turn around, I didn’t feel anything but appreciation and respect from Tina as if we had been planning for months. From constant email communication to personal touching points via social media, this experience was one of the only photo shoots that I have felt comfortable to be myself.

Tina makes the whole day seamless, from a welcome sign, drinks and music to your own personal hair and make up team with your own clothing rack. No detail is missed and she will make you feel like you are the queen the whole day and there after.

You will be blown away how Tina is able to capture true inner beauty in such an artistic way. You won’t feel cheated or “fake” once you go through your reveal. Tina prides herself on highlighting your body in its nature state to enhance ones self love and confidence. She is truly incredible. Tina I can’t thank you enough, I will for sure be a repeat customer!”

“It’s still hard to believe it’s me in the pictures! I love the photos and am so glad Tina was able to capture me in this way…

Even if you have doubts (big or small), do the shoot. You won’t regret it and you may even find that it wakes up a side of you that was asleep for a while!”

“I just wanted to capture this very moment in my life! For me! Practicing self-care! Self-love! It was everything I could have hoped for. Excellent preparation, positive energy.

Tina truly cares and I felt welcomed. I recommend this photoshoot experience to anyone who would like to capture a moment in time.

Allow yourself to feel special and make a few hours just about you. Tina is an incredible artist and you will enjoy working with her. She is the best!”

“It's an empowering experience! Tina makes you feel very comfortable and you'd be surprised how you feel after the shoot and when you receive your final photos. It's perfect for anyone who wants to see themselves in a different way. You can step into a different version of yourself. It was a super fun experience and such a confidence booster.”

“It was such an empowering experience and the moment of the photo reveal was exciting but also a sense of relief. This incredibly talented woman was able to capture me in a way that I had never imagined.

Friends and family have commented on how I can now see myself how the rest of the world sees me.

I will never be able to express my gratitude for Tina. Her work is stunning and I highly recommend that you jump at any opportunity to work with her.”

“Tina, YOU ROCK. You really take the time to make sure you get the perfect pictures. You're patient, funny, professional and most of all very gifted with a camera. WOW.”

“Tina is brilliant at making you feel comfortable and capturing the real you. I’m happy that we captured me at 40 and living my best life.”

“I had no idea the emotion and excitement I would experience when Tina revealed the photos to me. I stood in awe for a few moments, taking it all in. I looked at myself with confidence, grace and love.”

”[This experience] helped me recognize my personal power and influence, and it has caused me to work harder to teach those lessons to my daughter. Tina made me feel at ease and the photos were beautiful.”

“No experience has ever come close to the Modern Portrait Experience with Tina Leu Fotos. Tina’s professionalism and attention to detail was noticeable from the start.

She created a BEAUTIFUL video that took my breath away revealing the images and some cinematic video clips she took on the day of the photo shoot.”

“I felt like the photos Tina took really stood out in the sense that they seemed to capture a person's truest essence or soul. The experience and portraits helped me see aspects of myself I never realized, namely strength and beauty, mixed with femininity.”

“Tina is truly one of a kind. From day 1 at our client consult, I could tell how much she values her customers and how passionate she is.

On the day of the reveal, I literally became so emotional because not only were my photos beautiful, but they had turned out beyond my wildest expectations.

I cannot emphasize how much Tina is a master at her craft and took my initial vision to another level.”
