about the Artist
My name is Tania and I am a full-service maternity, newborn, infant, motherhood, and family photographer based in Lansing, Michigan.
I love to work with local families, with whom I can cultivate a lasting relationship over the years, and prefer to invest as much as I can into a small number of people, so that those special few can get the very best of me.
I am a firm believer in the power and importance of printing your photos. When we make this a priority, and make it easy to encounter printed photos in our home on a regular basis, it makes a real difference in everyone’s sense of belonging, appreciation for one another, and long-term happiness.
In order to receive the greatest benefit and make a lasting impact, the method in which we print our photos also matters. The materials, craftsmanship, and other characteristics of a printed photo will determine its longevity, and as a result, your ability to pass it down to your children, grandchildren, and beyond. With this in mind, I have curated a selection of only the best print offerings for you to choose from, from the finest print labs in the country.
As we cast our vision for the photos we will create of and for your family, our motivation will be to ensure that your loved ones will be able to see something beautiful in themselves and each other everyday, remember the love that you share, and know their place at the center of your heart, now and always.
the process
1. Inquiry, Consultation, & Scheduling
Submit an inquiry, meet via an introductory video call to confirm we're the right fit for each other, then return your signed contract and pay your creative fee to begin.
2. Planning Your Session(s)
We’ll go over all of the important details to ensure your session goes smoothly and you get the photos you’ve been dreaming of. I’ll get to know you and your family more and we will discuss the overall vision for your session, along with the location, wardrobe, and the type of artwork you’d like me to create for you using your photos.
3. Session Day
Relaxed and natural, in the comfort of your home year-round or in a beautiful outdoor location May - October. In-home sessions receive additional lighting support as-needed to achieve a natural-light look regardless of the weather or time of year. Outdoor sessions are scheduled a minimum of 2.5 hours before sunset to ensure sufficient and consistent lighting.
4. Image Reveal and Ordering Meeting
View the images from your session, choose your favorites, review artwork suggestions that I’ve pre-designed for you based on our pre-session planning, and purchase the printed artwork and digital archives you’d love to keep and/or gift.
5. Product Inspection, Delivery, and Wall Art Installation
I will personally inspect every print to ensure everything is just right, then we’ll schedule a time for me to hand-deliver and install it for you so you can start enjoying your artwork as soon as possible and for many years to come.
