I had an amazing experience working with Tanya for a portrait session! She is not only a true professional but also incredibly creative, kind, and client-oriented. From the very beginning, she made me feel completely relaxed and confident in front of the camera- a rare and special skill. Tania truly works with the mission to bring a smile to your face and make you feel happy. It’s clear that her goal is not just to take beautiful photos, but to make the entire experience uplifting and enjoyable. I originally hoped to get maybe 5 good photos, but I was blown away by the results - I couldn’t stop at just a few and ended up choosing over 20 favorites! Her ability to capture genuine expressions and make the whole process feel fun and effortless is truly impressive. I was so happy with the experience that I came back again for a professional photoshoot for my business—and once again, Tania delivered beyond expectations. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for beautiful, authentic, and joyful portraits! More...

I got a gift certificate for a photo shoot with Tanya as a baby shower present to my friend - and it turned out to be the best gift ever! It wasn’t just about capturing the moment of pregnancy, it was a full-on, creative experience! Tanya guided her through everything, helping her find a unique look, and made the whole shoot feel special. The final photos were stunning! Just beyond anything my friend expected. Truly a gift that will be cherished for a lifetime! More...

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
It’s not just about the camera or the lighting — though those matter. The real secret is connection. A great photograph happens when there’s trust between the subject and the photographer. When the person in front of the lens feels seen, understood, and safe to express something real — that’s when the magic happens.
Technically, yes — it’s about composition, light, color, and timing. But emotionally? It’s about presence. You have to feel the moment as much as you frame it. The job of a photographer isn’t just to capture a face — it’s to capture a feeling, a story, an essence.
That’s the art. That’s the secret.
What do you love most about your job?
I love being able to take someone’s vision or emotion and turn it into a piece of art. Whether it’s a maternity session full of anticipation and grace, or a timeless portrait that celebrates who you are right now — helping people feel seen, celebrated, and beautiful is what drives me.
Photography, for me, is more than creating images. It’s about connection, storytelling, and freezing moments that will live on long after the day is over. That’s the magic I get to be part of — and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
Why should our clients choose you?
Because I don’t just take pictures — I create a personalized experience that’s designed around you. From the very first consultation to the final delivery of your images, I’m fully invested in making sure you feel confident, seen, and beautifully represented in every frame.
With years of experience in luxury maternity and fine art portraiture — and multiple international awards for my work — I bring both technical expertise and artistic vision to every session. But more importantly, I take time to understand your story, your style, and what this moment means to you.
