Wilmington, NC
Wedding & Family Photographer
Capturing the honest, breathtaking moments of your intimate wedding day and the beautiful chaos of your family life
I'm here to create art from your life with honest, emotive images.
What if your photo session felt less like posing for pictures…
No pressure for perfect smiles.
No expectations for perfectly behaved children. And certainly no stiff and awkward poses.
Just a chance to slow down, hold your people close, and soak in the season you're living before it becomes a memory.
And more like pressing pause on a season you never want to forget?

Hi, I'm tanya
I capture intimate weddings, elopements, and the beautiful chaos at every stage of family life in and around Wilmington, NC.
My focus is on crafting a relaxed and fun experience tailored with intentional prompts, natural movement, and a documentary approach that tells the story of each of your life' s seasons in an honest, artful way.
Whether you are a bride wanting to skip the rigid poses so you can focus entirely on each other, or a mom worried your fast-moving kids won't sit still— you can take a deep breath. I live for the wild energy and unscripted moments, catching genuine laughter and tender moments precisely when you are all just being yourselves.
Let’s skip the perfection, embrace the play, and document the moments you will want to hold onto forever.
I look forward to serving you.
