Dinofa Photography Blog bio picture

{Welcome to Dinofa Photography Blog}

we are tim and lauren…a husband and wife photography team based in linwood, new jersey. we specialize in shooting modern lifestyle portraits for newborns, kids, pets, and couples. this blog follows both of our personal and professional lives, and features images from the sessions we shoot, the places we travel and the friends and family members that mean so much to us. it’s basically like our own personal photo album combined with an information source for our current and potential clients with a sprinkle of randomness thrown in. this site is a little more informal and we just want to give everyone a sense of who we are, and what we are all about, so kick back and take some time to peek around and get to know us a bit better.

- enjoy.

4 Families 9 Kids

we had an incredible shoot last week with four gorgeous families down at kennedy park in somers point. the first family to show up was rachel, devon, taylor, olivia, and sammy…  followed by bess and moe… third was lila… and last but not least was piper.  we never met any of the kids before they showed up for their session.  the kids were all extraordinarily beautiful and we were so impressed with how great everyone got along with one other.  thank you for allowing us to spend the afternoon with all of you and for giving us the opportunity to document this special time in your lives through photographs. now for the photos and slideshow.  enjoy.

rachel.  - her eyes are just stunning.  i think she could hypnotize you with a glance.

devon.  - looks like he could become a rock star.  but not the high school musical type, right dev?

taylor. - would have no problem stepping up for her brother and taking the lead in the high school musical.  plus, she would get to hang out with zac efron.  oh, how dreamy.

olivia. - was all about the fun.  when it came time to snap a photo of her, she oozed smiles and laughter.

sammy. - rocking the fur.  rocking the pig tails.  too cute.

bess. - was the opposite of shy.  she was willing to do cartwheels on command without hesitation.  personality + looks.  what a combo.

moe. -  seriously, can he get any cuter?  moe was my little homeboy during the shoot.

lila. - everything you want in a little girl… innocent, sweet and soaking in all the little pleasures of life.

piper. - wow, this is so urban outfitters.  she took a little while to warm up to fact that she was involved in a photo shoot.  eventually she gave in and i was able to grab some of my favorite images of the day with her.

5 Months

guess who turned 5 months old today?  drum roll please ……..

it’s baby meadow !!!!

Window Light

i spotted these cool stripes of light coming through our living room blinds the other day and thought it would make for a very interesting image.  it certainly doesn’t hurt that it’s cascading on lauren’s beautiful face.

Dinofa Photography Website

just thought i would give everyone a heads up that we have updated our portfolio site with some new pics from this year.  give it a “look see” if you haven’t been over in a while.  thanks - tim & lauren

The Petrella Family

i was extremely excited when the petrella family booked us for their family portrait session last month.  besides being an absolute joy to photograph, they had a vision of what they wanted and i was honored that they chose me to be the photographer to bring it to life.  the goal of the shoot was to capture a few real life images in a modern, hip, edgy, and somewhat moody way.  it was so much fun creating select focusing, lens blurs, and textures to the photos.  thanks gang for being so cool and getting dirty with me, hope you likey….

here’s a little infrared action.. i just love how it turned the autumn leaves to a powder white against the dark sky.

i almost went blind trying to snag this picture, but i just couldn’t pass up those killer shadows.

Just a Peek

just a peek at the radtastic photo session we had with the petrella family last week…. more awesome soon.

Look-a-Likes

as most of the parents out there know when you have a new baby everybody likes to comment on who the baby looks like.  they say things like - she has her dad’s eyes, her mom’s nose, her big sister’s lips.  the list goes on and on.  lately, the most common comment has been how much meadow looks like her big sis lily. you guys can judge for yourselves.

Soltys Family

we had an awesome shoot the other day with kendall, elizabeth and their two sons, jason and vaughn.  we met kendall earlier this year when we hired him to install our new kitchen which is absolutely beautiful, modern and quite unique.  lauren says how much she loves it everyday.  thank you kendalls kitchens!  with the soltys family the weather was iffy for a little while and we almost had to cancel.  luckily the rain held off just long enough to roll around in their front yard and take some killer portraits of the boys.  thank you for including us in a day in the life of your wonderful family…. we had a great time!  

WAY TO GO PHILLIES !!!!!!!

boys will be boys - and jason was no exception.  i think he did like 20 laps around the house while i was trying to get some photos of him. (;

i just love the lone tear drop and mood of this image…

Extra Extra…

read all about it.  lauren, zoe, and i had a little blurb printed about us in the region section of yesterdays paper from the press of atlantic city.  we were down at the park doing some test shots for our upcoming family shoot this thursday.  it just so happened that the photographer from the press was there and asked if he could take some photos of me - taking photos of lauren & zoe.

here is my view from the photo that they ran in the paper.
