TANYA ST PHOTOGRAPHY

Tanya ST is a dedicated family photographer based in Aberdeen, specialising in natural, story-led family photography. With a lifelong passion for creating beautiful images and a background that combines sensitivity and technical skill, Tanya focuses on capturing the real, unscripted moments that make family life unique — a shared laugh, a tender glance, a child’s spontaneous curiosity. Why choose Tanya? Her approach is gentle, warm and unobtrusive. She believes the best family portraits come from relaxed sessions where everyone can be themselves. Tanya draws on her experience and her degree in Psychology to create a calm atmosphere that helps children and adults alike feel comfortable in front of the camera. Whether you prefer the intimacy of a home shoot, the freedom of the great outdoors around Aberdeen, or a local landmark that means something to your family, she tailors each session so the story you want to tell is at the heart of every image. What makes her approach special is a focus on emotion and connection rather than stiff posing. Tanya encourages playful interaction and movement so photographs feel alive and authentic. She has particular experience with newborns and babies, working patiently to ensure safety, comfort and gentle handling throughout the session. For slightly older children she uses prompts and games to bring out natural smiles and personalities, producing portraits that parents treasure for years. How Tanya works with families is straightforward and thoughtful: start with a friendly pre-shoot conversation to understand your wishes and suggest locations, styling and timing that suit your family’s rhythm. On the day she provides relaxed direction, helpful outfit and colour advice, and — when requested — can recommend an experienced stylist or make-up artist. The session is paced for your family, with plenty of time for real moments to emerge. Based in Aberdeen and ready to travel for meaningful shoots across Scotland, Tanya is positioned as a specialist in family and portrait photography. If you want family photos that feel personal, warm and true to who you are, Tanya ST offers an experienced, caring service that turns everyday bonds into lasting memories.
