Hi I’m Tanya

 I love family. I love photos. I haven't always loved "family photos." Hear me out, hear me out! It took me a long time to figure out my groove in this industry and it came down to this one simple trick.... I don't like boring photos! I don't like carbon copy, same old, same old family photos that don't look any different from the next person’s family photos.

We are all spectacularly different, so why do everyone's family photos tend to look the same?

It's in our differences that we shine. Our differences are our gift to this world!

Who am I?

I am a closet Nanna. Not in the literal sense, but in the I just want to bake bread, grow my own food, tend my chickens type of sense. I live as slowly as I can in a world that just keeps turning up the dial. I am a mum to four amazing humans, two littlies and two bigs and all four of them grow too fast for my liking. I am a wife to a husband who encourages me to follow my crazy dreams and live a creative life. A chocolate labby and three nutbag chickens round out this wild ride and we all kick about in a tiny corner of the world called Perth, in Western Australia. I walk the line between lifestyle and documentary with a spattering of everything else in between. Life is dynamic and I wouldn't want to hold to one set of rules to photograph your family if the rules didn't apply. And just quietly, they rarely do. Rules are boring.
