Tianna Jarrett-Williams is a maternity and newborn photographer based in Birmingham, United Kingdom where she has a small studio near to the city centre. Her love for this speciality grew from her past career as a professional and registered nurse and midwife. Whilst photography began as a hobby after the birth of her first daughter, she quickly fell in love with the craft and soon became consumed by the desire to be creative. After navigating a few specialities, Tianna settled on the art of pregnancy, motherhood and newborn photography because these genres in coalescence with her passion for women becoming mothers and their journey through motherhood inspires her daily. Whilst the primary focus is on maternity and newborn photography, Tianna does enjoy creative and styled projects with a special interest in culture which often can be appreciated in her work. Tianna lives with her two young children Zara and Olivia; and long term partner Ashley, near Birmingham.

Miramar Florida Newborn Photographer Capturing Life’s First Moments: The Story of Jenice Garcia 

In the quiet corners of Miramar, Florida, where the soft glow of natural light meets the delicate stillness of a sleeping baby, Jenice Garcia has built more than a photography studio — she has created a sanctuary for families. As the founder of My First Photo, Jenice is a full-time newborn photographer with over eight years of experience and a reputation for artistry, empathy, and purpose.

Celebrating Differences, Capturing Love

When her first son was diagnosed with autism, Jenice faced one of the most challenging moments of her life. “For a while, I believed I had to stop working to be a good mom,” she recalls. “Then I realized that by taking care of my passion, I was becoming a better version of myself for my children.” That realization fueled her purpose — to support families, especially those with neurodiverse children, through photography.

Today, her studio is a safe, welcoming space for all kinds of families. Her personal journey has helped her connect deeply with parents who often feel unseen or overwhelmed. “I know what it’s like,” Jenice says. “And I want them to feel peace and joy in these precious moments.”

Beyond her photography work as a Miramar Florida Newborn Photographer, Jenice recently launched an online academy to train both aspiring photographers and mothers who want to capture their children’s lives more beautifully. She is a proud member of APNPI – Accredited Professional Newborn Photographers International, as well as Professional Photographers of America and has earned multiple international photography awards including 2nd place in the recent APNPI Image Competition.

A devoted mother of three, a homeschooling parent, and a woman of strong faith, Jenice balances her roles with a holistic lifestyle and an unwavering belief in her mission: to turn fleeting moments into lifelong memories.

Whether it’s a quiet portrait of a newborn’s yawn or a touching moment between a mother and her child, Jenice Garcia doesn’t just take photos — she tells stories of love, strength, and new beginnings.
