Tia was absolutely lovely to work with. She was so patient with me and my husband, and she really helped us feel at ease during our session. We had a lot of fun during the maternity shoot and ultimately LOVE how the photos turned out. Tia will be our go to photographer for other life events. Thank you, Tia!!

About Storyline & Co
Hi, I’m Tigist the photographer and creative director behind Storyline & Co. At Storyline & Co., I believe photographs should do more than document how a moment looked they should preserve how it felt. My approach blends thoughtful direction with genuine, unscripted moments to create imagery that feels elevated, personal, and true to you. From the moment you inquire, my goal is to make the entire experience seamless and intentional. I help with everything from location and wardrobe guidance to creative concepts and posing, while still leaving room for the natural moments that often become the most meaningful photographs. I photograph families, maternity, couples, weddings, personal branding, headshots, and special events throughout Northern Virginia, Washington, D.C., Maryland, and beyond. I’m also bilingual and fluent in Amharic, and I’m always happy to work with clients and families who feel more comfortable communicating in either English or Amharic. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll usually find me spending time with my family, traveling, cooking, crocheting, or finding another creative project to get lost in. Creativity has always been a meaningful part of my life, and I bring that same care and passion to every Storyline & Co. session. If you have an idea that feels a little different, I’d love to hear it. Some of my favorite photographs begin with a simple idea and become something completely unexpected. Let’s create something worth keeping.
Reviews
We booked Storyline and Co for our engagement photos in DC. Tia was amazing to work with from the start! She was extremely responsive, helped us plan the best time for our photos, and sent over a collaborative mood board to make sure we were on the same page with what we were envisioning! On the day of, she was flexible when our first chosen location ended up being closed, waited out some rain with us, and went over our shoot time without a second thought! She stayed in communication with me through her editing process as well and made sure I liked her style of editing! Within a week, we had a beautiful album of pictures that we will cherish forever! Thank you Tia!
My family and I scheduled a maternity shoot with Tia, and it was such a great experience! Tia was responsive, full of great ideas, and very organized from start to finish. She sent us location suggestions along with attire color recommendations, which made planning everything so easy. She arrived early and made the entire experience feel effortless. We’re so happy we met her! She was especially wonderful with our little one and was soooo patient with him. You can truly tell that she loves what she does. We absolutely loved our experience and would highly recommend Tia! 🤍
Tigist did an amazing job with our maternity photo shoot. She was incredibly responsive and offered thoughtful guidance from the very beginning, helping us with ideas and preparation for the session. She captured beautiful shots both in her studio and outdoors, even suggesting great locations that matched our style. Throughout the shoot, she created a comfortable and relaxed environment, which made the whole experience enjoyable. She also delivered the photo gallery right on time. We’re really happy with the results and highly recommend her!
Tia was available for my engagement photos pretty last minute. She arrived discreetly for my proposal and was very professional. She took amazing photos and added good vibez and energy to the day. I definitely recommend her for your photography needs.
