my life behind the lens
Hello, I'm Tanya.
I am a Southern Minnesota based photographer. I live in the small town of Waseca where I was born and raised. I am a mother of two, a wife, and a dog mom. You will find that I very easily get distracted in the world of photography. I always have my camera somewhere easily accessible so I'm ready for that next moment to capture. If I'm not behind my camera, you will find that I'm always soaking up the chaos of motherhood, because time is a thief and has a tendency to just slip away.
If you ever see me out and about, I'm likely seeking out new locations to capture those next moments. If I ever have down time, one of my favorite things to do is grab a book by Colleen Hoover. Anything Colleen Hoover is a must read. Fun fact about me? I almost always have a Red Bull or Iced Coffee with me, and if it's not with me then I already drank it all. All of my energy has to come from somewhere, right?
Family, engagement, wedding, & senior photography.
You will never have more time than you do right now.
I do my photography outdoors in nature, and if you ask me why, my answer is easy. Sunrise, sunset, the bright and bold greens, to the fall colors. Even the snow covered ground. I love being outdoors and getting the fresh air. And did I mention how beautiful your pictures will always turn out? Nature never disappoints and neither will I!
