On Making a Modern Photo Album

January 25th, 2012 by Tanya | Comments Off | Filed in Portraits, Products

This Winter I am ramping up my selection of studio sample albums. I have (finally!) narrowed down six amazing albums from various vendors in a range of sizes and prices that are sure to delight. More to come on each album, but today I’m sharing a sample layout I created from a recent family portrait session in Auburn, NH.

I favor album layouts that are either symmetrical or asymmetrical but they always have to be full bleed (image printed so it runs off the page) or on white. The photos should speak for themselves so I stay away from overly designed pages that include text, doodles, or layered images with borders. I want my album pages to be clean and modern looking and more importantly, to stand the test of time. The white background allows the photos to breathe in the same way a white gallery allows its artworks to breathe. (The gray border here is only to add separation between layout pages.)

Photographs age like fine wine you know, so it’s only right they are preserved with care.

Holiday Cards Are Rolling In!

December 20th, 2011 by Tanya | Comments Off | Filed in Portraits, Products

As you know, I put together a mini portrait session for families recently at a studio downtown. I just received the first holiday card from this adorable family from that session! (Here’s an admission: I designed this card and had them printed, so I knew exactly what to expect.) You can’t tell from this picture, but the cards are printed on thick postcard stock with an elegant pearl finish which is perfect for the sparkly season that is the holidays. Happiest of holidays to the Shaheen Family and yours.

And check out this cutie that came in the mail. We did a Fall portrait session earlier this year decked out in striped tights and a Missoni jacket designed for Target, which I hear was all the rage among mommies. I did not design this one, but it is a testament to how professional photos make everything better if I do say so myself. Merry Christmas to the Bakers!

And last but not least, a one-sided photo card made by Shutterfly from mom and daughter dynamic duo, Chloe and Meredith!

Downtown Manchester Holiday Portrait Peek

November 15th, 2011 by Tanya | Comments Off | Filed in Portraits, Studio

This past weekend I had my first ever mini holiday portrait session and it was so much fun! First off, the kids were dressed impeccably. (Thank you moms and dads! I aspire to be as stylish.) Secondly, I got to set up shop in a gorgeous studio in downtown Manchester which had plenty of natural light. (I usually shoot out of my smaller home studio or on-location, so this was quite a treat.) We had a ball tossing around over-sized plastic ornaments, playing with colorful lights, and running around wearing angel halos.

I set up a few colorful holiday scenes but also a crisp white backdrop so the children could move around more freely. A serene white backdrop is such a beautiful thing. It really showcases children, or any subject, in a clean, ‘this is me’ way.

Thank you to all the families who made this possible. I hope to make the mini holiday portrait session an annual tradition.

I know it’s early but…Happy Holidays!

Baby Ione’s Fall Portrait

November 8th, 2011 by Tanya | Comments Off | Filed in Portraits

Ione (i-own-ee) is very reserved with people she doesn’t know well but with the help of mom and dad she warmed right up. She did me a favor by sitting on the yellow velvet chair for a few minutes and then interacted with it in her own (even cuter) way by sticking her head through the back.

Ione, you are sweet and oh so stylish. Alyssa and Peter, congratulations on your beautiful little sprite.

Newborn Sweetness

November 4th, 2011 by Tanya | Comments Off | Filed in Portraits

Rosie was just under 3 months when I took these photos of her and even though she is so teeny tiny, she has a huge personality. She made a lot of eye contact with the camera and already seems to be very aware and engaged in her surroundings.

Rosie, I love your name and your sweet face! Congratulations to you Alex and Cristy! What a treasure.

Fielding a Photoshoot in Bedford

September 27th, 2011 by Tanya | Comments Off | Filed in Portraits

Since most kids have a ton of energy, it’s a lot of fun to capture them unleashing a bit of it in a wide open field. When Kara called to schedule this portrait session, I had just the spot! A tree-lined, hilly park in Bedford where the children could run and play. Wyatt, Adelyn, and I ran all around, rolled down the hills, picked some berries, and they even sat together and hugged each other for a few moments. I hope you agree that these photos capture their essence. Oh, to be young. It is so sweet.

The Cute Baby May

September 21st, 2011 by Tanya | Comments Off | Filed in Portraits

My home studio is filled with natural light, colorful blankets and fun furniture which serve as the perfect backdrop for photographing newborns. I photographed baby May on a selection of throws (including a sheepskin rug!) that complimented her sweet clothing. Here’s a peek. She’s apparently going through the “put everything in mouth’ phase. Hehe.

A Portrait at 22

September 15th, 2011 by Tanya | 3 Comments | Filed in Portraits

I received an email from a client asking if I would photograph her son who recently graduated from Columbia. She explained she wanted to capture him as he is today before his life moves on in new ways. At 22 you feel grown up and ready for the world. That optimism, energy, and willingness to have new experiences is a gift. I moved to NYC in my twenties and regard it as one of the most special places and times in my life.

Alex, best wishes to you as you go on your way. The world is your oyster. I’m pretty sure you know that.
