I was expecting my second child and knew I wanted to get newborn photos done since I never got the chance with my first. When I looked at Tatianas instagram, I knew that her work was exactly the vision I was going for. I contacted Tatiana and she responded immediately. The day of the photoshoot, Tatiana immediately had such a sweet, calm and nurturing personality. I say back and watched her photograph my son and was impressed with her professionalism and talent. She also managed to capture my eldest daughter along with her baby brother beautiful! I cant to receive the photos and hang them up

Recently had my newborn pictures done with Tatiana. I am absolutely in love with the way the pictures came out. I was worried about my baby not wanting to cooperate because he is very alert but she was able to work her magic and eventually he fell asleep. She is very gentle with the baby, and is very gifted in her craft. I would recommend Tatiana to everyone! 10/10 service
