The BE YOU campaign - a TRANSFORMATIVE experience

What’s included?

  • Experience a custom portrait session tailored to your dreams – whether you prefer a glamorous look, a boudoir session, or a mix of both. In our pre-consultation we’ll discuss all the details involved from wardrobe to make-up, your personal story and looks you love. Don’t know what to wear? Pick from our client closet and studio props such as couture style wings and tulle gowns.

  • When was the last time you had your hair and make-up done? You will enjoy getting pampered and photo ready. It is your personal choice whether you would like a more natural make-up to be the best version of yourself or try our full glam make-over. The spotlight is yours either way! Our Professional Hair and Make-up artist will make you look and feel fabulous .

  • We understand the transformative power of a portrait session. It's not just about capturing stunning images; it's about discovering your inner strength and radiating confidence. Feeling a little nervous? That’s ok. I will guide you through your photoshoot with the most flattering poses to help you look and feel like the rockstar that you are! I promise, you will leave the studio with an extra boost of confidence!

  • You are a work of art! A few days after your photoshoot, we will schedule your custom image reveal to view your beautiful portraits! You choose your complimentary photo and if you desire additional images, you purchase the images you love! Single portraits are $250 and collections start at $1500.

  • We believe that every woman has a powerful story to tell. That's why our Be You Magazine celebrates the journeys, triumphs, and challenges of strong and inspiring women - just like yours!

    We invite you to join this movement of authenticity and self-expression. Share your personal story and inspire others with your journey. Your voice matters, and your story has the power to touch hearts and uplift others.

  • As part of our Be You Campaign, we host a gallery style celebration event where all the amazing women featured in our campaign come together to for an evening filled with joy, connection, and a shared sense of empowerment.

Love Notes: what other women are saying

  • “I was anxious in the beginning as I was not sure what to expect. However, Tanja made me feel secure, beautiful and empowered. It was so much fun. I felt beautiful, I felt as though I mattered and I felt like what I think a model would feel like the 1st time. The photoshoot permitted me to see myself on the outside. To “see” my outer beauty. To see all of my different personalities which exist inside of myself. This was purely for me. To unlock and shed the part of me which believed for so long I wasn’t worthy of myself. I thank the universe and creator each day for Tanja. She captured all of my beings. She is truly gifted”.

    Chantalle

  • “The whole experience has been a dream, understanding, thoughtful, listening, and very experienced photographer Tanja is the shining star. Thank you from the bottom of my heart”

    Katarzyna

  • "I was just excited before the session. I loved getting the hair and makeup done because it doesn’t happen on a regular for me. I knew what kind of pictures I wanted to do so I was ready. After the session, I felt empowered. I did something I always wanted to do. I finally was fearless enough to do it! And the pictures turned out more beautiful than I imagined!"

    Vanessa

  • “One of the very best decisions I’ve made for myself! I had the time of my life being pampered and having so much fun at the shoot! I cherish my photos and have shown them to everyone! I am so happy I did it!”

    Cheryl

  • “I wanted to thank you so much for this wonderful experience of the photo session and seeing the final product. It was wrapped so nicely I was afraid to open it. But I used the gloves and enjoyed looking at the photos over and over. I so appreciate you sharing your talent to produce such great work!”

    Jenny

  • “It was AMAZING!!!!! I treated myself to the session as an early birthday gift and I loved the personalization of it all! It all came together at the right time!!!”
