I booked Tanya off of Instagram as I am not from the Nashville area. I have to admit I was a little nervous meeting her as this was my first time doing any type of photoshoot. She knew exactly how to work it! I trusted her with the location and she went above my expectations. She truly knows what she is doing! After looking through my photos, I cannot find a picture I do not like. They all came out amazing . I wish I was local because without a doubt I'd book her for my wedding.

We worked with Tanya during a recent engagement photo shoot in Nashville. Neither myself or my partner had experience with professional photography, but Tanya made us feel so comfortable and provided excellent tips to ensure we looked fantastic in our photos. We have received so many compliments since posting our pictures & are thrilled with our experience! We highly recommend Tanya for your next photo shoot!

Hello, I'm Tatiana, a Nashville-based wedding and family photographer with a passion for capturing unique love stories. If you've landed on this page, chances are you're getting ready for your engagement session. Congratulations! This is an exciting step on your journey towards your wedding day.
&nbsp;
An engagement session is not just about taking some beautiful photos for your save-the-date cards. It's also a golden opportunity to get to know your photographer and get comfortable in front of the camera. To help you prepare for this exciting experience, here are some tips on outfit choices, location selection, and posing ideas.
&nbsp;
Outfit Choices: Your outfits should reflect your personalities and the overall feel you want for the session. Coordinate your outfits without matching exactly. Try to choose colors that complement each other and avoid bold patterns that may distract from your faces. Remember, comfort is key. If you feel good, it'll shine through in your photos.
&nbsp;
Location Selection: Choose a location that holds meaning for both of you. This could be the place you first met, your favorite hangout spot, or even your own home. If you're drawing a blank, don't worry! I've photographed in numerous locations and can provide suggestions based on your preferences.
&nbsp;
Posing Ideas: Don't stress too much about posing. It's my job as your photographer to guide you. That being said, feel free to gather inspiration from photos you admire. Share them with me so I can understand your likes and dislikes. Remember, the goal is to look natural and in love, not stiff and posed.
&nbsp;
The most important thing to remember is that this session is about celebrating your love and commitment to each other. Relax, have fun, and trust in me to capture your unique love story. After all, I'm not just a photographer but a storyteller, here to make your special moments unforgettable.
&nbsp;
Whether you're local to Nashville or planning a destination engagement, I'm excited to meet you and help bring your vision to life. Let's create something beautiful together!

Preparing for Your Engagement Session: A Guide for Couples

In today&rsquo;s digital age, where every moment is captured on smartphones and shared on social media, the value of printed photographs is often overlooked.
However, printing your photos in albums and photo books holds significant importance. This article explores the reasons why printed photographs remain essential and how they can add lasting value to your cherished memories.
&nbsp;
<h3 style="text-align: center; line-height: 2;">Tangible Memories</h3>
One of the primary reasons to print your photos is to create tangible memories. Unlike digital files that can be lost or forgotten in the vastness of your device storage, printed photos offer a physical connection to your past. Holding an album or a photo book in your hands evokes emotions and memories in a way that digital images cannot replicate.
&nbsp;
<h3 style="text-align: center; line-height: 2;">Longevity and Preservation</h3>
After your photoshoot, you can order a custom photo book or album from me. We&rsquo;ll discuss the size and various cover options to ensure it fits your style.
A beautifully crafted photo book not only preserves your special moments but also makes a wonderful gift for your family, allowing them to cherish your memories too.
&nbsp;
<h3 style="text-align: center; line-height: 2;">Aesthetic Appeal</h3>
Photo albums and books are not just about preserving memories; they are also about presenting them beautifully. With various design options, layouts, and high-quality printing, photo books can turn your wedding photographs into a stunning piece of art. They provide a curated experience, allowing you to tell your story in a visually appealing manner.
&nbsp;
<h3 style="text-align: center; line-height: 2;">Emotional Connection</h3>
A boudoir photoshoot makes an unforgettable wedding gift for your groom. Presenting these intimate and elegant photos in a beautifully designed album adds a special touch.
This personalized gift not only surprises your groom but also creates a keepsake of your love and confidence that he will treasure forever. Give him a gift he will never forget.
&nbsp;
<h3 style="text-align: center; line-height: 2;">Personal Touch</h3>
Creating a photo book or album is a personalized process. You can choose the images that matter most, arrange them in a meaningful sequence, and add personal notes or captions.
This personal touch makes your photo album a unique reflection of your wedding day, capturing the essence of your special moments in a way that digital slideshows cannot.
&nbsp;
Feel free to contact me if you want to learn more about albums, photo books, wall canvases, or magazine-style glossy photo books. I look forward to hearing your ideas and helping you create beautiful keepsakes of your special moments.
