Hey Friends, I`m Tanya Porter

I am originally from Russia, but moved to the U.S. in 2017.  I'm married, and I'm the mom of a wonderful 7-year-old. boy. I have a bachelor's degree in Economics, which I got in Russia. I'm currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education at CMU. My full-time job is as an Instruction Aide in Special Education in Columbia Public Schools.

Working with children daily helps me understand them better and find an individual approach to each child during my photo sessions.

I'm a lifestyle and family photographer who also enjoys studio sessions. My passion is to capture authentic emotions, love, and connection. The photographs we create together will become timeless keepsakes — preserving your most special moments for years to come.
