Tana is so wonderful and talented! We couldn't be happier with both our engagement and wedding photos. She absolutely nailed it and was so, so great to work with. She is down-to-earth and made the process simple. We love how our photos don't look staged and they have so much life/fun in them. We highly recommend her for all your life photography needs!

DON'T HESITATE, HIRE TANA (and her husband Cody for videography). They truly are the packaged deal - talented, kind, and FUN! From the moment we met Tana at our engagement pictures we knew she would make our wedding day feel like a dream, not to mention take the most gorgeous photos. We are absolutely OBSESSED with our photos. Tana and Cody make you feel like you've been their friends for years. We absolutely love them and know we will hire them to capture all of our big life events in the future!

HIRE. TANA. IMMEDIATELY!!!!!! Our wedding photos came out PERFECT. Her photography is magic - she captured every moment, big and small. They are truly the best photos we could have asked for and more - she put so much time into editing and perfecting the photos before sending them over to us. We received so many compliments from friends and family, saying that they were the best wedding photos they have ever seen (and we'd have to agree). Not only is Tana an incredible photographer, but she's a remarkable person as well. She is so comfortable to be around and such an absolute gem of a person. She goes above and beyond to make sure you are getting the best of the best photos, and she is so accommodating and kind. We cannot wait to use her for future photography - pregnancy, babies, dogs, cats, holiday cards, etc. I would recommend Tana to ANYONE needing a photographer for any event - nobody can do it better!!!!

Stop searching for a photographer right now-- Tana is the one!! From the first time we chatted on the phone we knew there was no one else that could capture our day as well as her. She made us feel so at ease right from the start and fit in perfect with our friends and family. She captured our day so beautifully, it was like a dream. She captured all the emotion of the day as well as the details. We also hired her husband Cody to do our videography and they were the absolute dream team. We love you Tana!

I can't say too many wonderful things about Tana and her husband Cody. We are so so so thankful for them and their talents! They took our engagement and wedding photos and we could not have been more over the moon with the results. Friends and family told us that they were the most beautiful, natural, fun wedding photos that they'd ever seen. They captured the spirit of the day and the spirit of our relationship beautifully. Not only were the results beyond our expectations, but they were SO MUCH FUN AND SO SWEET to work with. They put us both instantly at ease and their chill, friendly, creative, professional, adventurous vibes matched us exactly.

Each photo that Tana takes is a piece of art, and my new husband and I are over the freaking moon about each and every photo she took on our wedding day. She captured our exact vibe and all of the magic that was in the air - you can seriously feel the happiness pouring out of each picture! She's not only a wonderful human, but she puts a refreshing energy back into wedding photos. I would 1000% recommend Tana over and over again!

Where do I begin... not only is Tana's work absolutely incredible, her presence is an absolute joy. Her ability to capture the emotion of a moment in a simple photograph is beyond anything I could even begin to express in words. While I thought my wedding day looked absolutely beautiful, the day captured through Tana's lens looked 10x better than I even remembered or ever dreamed it would be. If the pictures weren't enough, Tana herself is an incredible person. She has the ability to read every situation, and positions herself so she can capture every special moment without inhibiting it. Tana's skill in every facet of what she does is incomparable to anything I've ever seen or experienced. Tana is truly the total package in a photographer. I will sing her praises as I relive the beautiful memories she captured for years to come.

Tana is absolutely amazing at what she does, and I have been nothing but incredibly blown away by her work! She is so much fun and makes any photoshoot that you're doing with her so comfortable and natural. She is very flexible and easy going which I think is so important for a photographer. Our engagement and wedding photos were absolutely stunning. It rained all day during our outdoor wedding and Tana still managed to provide us with nothing but beautiful and fun photos out in the rain! I cannot wait for future photoshoots to come!!

Tana is excellent at what she does and has such a unique, beautiful style. Tana shot our wedding and was everything we hoped and more in a photographer. Tana was flexible, fun, and added a light and positive presence to our day. Tana catered her work to our style and made sure to get the shots we wanted. One of the things that makes her stick out is her personal style that could take any wedding and make it look like the photos belong in the Knot or Vogue. I would highly recommend her to anyone- you don't find unique and caring individuals like her in this industry very often

I cannot say enough good things about Tana. I have been waiting a long time to be able to have her as my photographer. It was without question that I had to have her capture one of the most important events of my entire life. Tana captures so much more than a photo... in a month, a year, 10 years etc. if you want to be able to re-live the way you felt during this special time of your life, she is with out a doubt the photographer you will want to have. I have seen her work for years and I had high expectations, she has thus far exceeded those expectations. I plan on having her capture all the most important times of my life even after my wedding. They are not just ordinary smile at the camera photos that most people have, they are photos that capture love, admiration, appreciation, attraction, and so much more. I honestly believe you will regret not having her as your photographer, for any occasion.

Tana is a dream to work with. Attentive to detail while seeing the big picture, she can get the artsiest of shots and still impress with the family photos for grandma. We had her all day with a second shooter and I wouldn't change a thing. Reasonably priced, great communication, fun, happy, professional, amazing person. We love Tana!
