MEET

THE PHOTOGRAPHER 

A VERY WARM

WELCOME

I’m a forty-something year old Mum (to two scrumptious boys!) living in Aston Clinton with my husband Jim who I met at university when I was still a teen (just)! We survived a year of me studying abroad in Pisa (I am obsessed with Italy) and I went on to do a Masters in Art History at the Courtauld Institute of Art.

I was never far from a camera, but academically, my creative side was never fulfilled.

In 2011, Jim and I were able to take a career break to travel, and in that time I was surgically attached to my camera, visiting 15 countries in 7 months, I took 1000’s of photos! Having always enjoyed photography, the photos I took on that trip gave me the confidence to pursue it as a career, and when I returned to the UK it seemed like the perfect opportunity to embrace my passion for my hobby professionally.

In 2012 I took a Diploma in Wedding Photography, and have been taking photographs ever since. In 2020 when my youngest was one, I finally gave up the day job in London and embraced photography full time. I haven’t looked back. 

I love dancing around the house, eating crisps, drinking coffee, all things Italian, and trail running and I hate bad manners!

I love people and I love a natter, so please give me a call and we can talk about your photo requirements.

Bluebell Mini Sessions 2024

Bluebell mini sessions excite me so much because they're when my family sessions start up for the year. I'm an outdoor family photography so over the winter, I don't tend to capture my families. Once the weather gets warmer and the leaves start to appear on the trees,...

Family Celebration Photos

Have you ever considered getting a photographer for a family celebration event? Is is such a great way to capture your whole family having a good time and you can enjoy the party, and be in the photos too! I know how hard it is to get the whole family together....

PERFECTLY CAPTURED

 

I can’t recommend Tanya highly enough, we are absolutely thrilled with our photos! I’ve got 3 kids and have had professional photos taken in studios with the first 2, but with covid restrictions- that wasn’t possible with my new baby, so I got in touch with Tanya and I’m so glad I did! She is hands down the best photographer I’ve ever used! We had so much fun and the photos have perfectly captured our family exactly as we are! You even get a sense of our personalities! My eldest is so camera shy and I was sure that we wouldn’t get any photos of a smile, but Tanya made him relax and got plenty of lovely smiley photos! I will definitely be using her again in the future!
