About Tanja
I am a photographer living and loving in London, Ontario, Canada with my partner Jason and our two girls, Chloe and Melody. I am a lover of coffee, my garden, and a perfect Golden Retriever.
I find joy in creating images that spark something untapped inside the viewer. I've always been an in-depth examiner of Life (philosophy degree, say what?). Photography allows me to stop a moment and really drink it in.
I aim to give you a whole story in a single snapshot. Your story.
Relish this remembrance.
Family Sessions
I especially enjoy shooting a Day in the Life of a family.
Family photo journalism is the un-posed, non-directed photography of everyday life.
Most families wish to make time for some traditional portraits but the energy just POPS when looking back at an unscripted moment of togetherness!
In these sessions, my goal is to capture and preserve this season of life for you and your family, so that you can look back on these photographs and be transported back to a day that might otherwise had become a distant memory.
On the day of your session, I will come to your home, or meet you at another location that has meaning to you and your family. I will make photographs from a photojournalistic approach as you and your family or friends interact naturally, just as you would on a day when a photographer was not present.
I want these photos to capture the true essence of your family, your relationships, and the stage of life you are currently experiencing. I want it to be real, in all its tantrum-ing, messy, teary, silly, beautiful glory. I want to capture this chapter in your story, so that you can look back and remember exactly how it looked and felt at this very moment. I want to preserve this piece of your legacy for you to pass on to your children, and their children.

WHEN AND HOW DO WE BOOK?
As a work-at-home mum, I offer a limited number of sessions each month to ensure I have ample time to spend curating your story before, during and after your session, while still caring for my family. Once you have contacted me via email (tanja.rohn@me.com) we will get to know each other via Skype or meet for some sweet caffeine. I only book four weddings per summer. Contact me early!
Next, I'll send you a contract to read, sign and return with your deposit. I accept cash, check or Paypal. Your family session or wedding is not booked until you have completed and returned the session agreement and paid the retainer.
WILL OUR PHOTOS BE ONLINE? WE'RE KINDA PRIVATE.
While I love sharing photographs from my sessions because they inspire other families to document their lives in this way, please know that your session is about YOU and YOUR FAMILY. I am here to help you record these memories FOR YOU. So please, please, do not hesitate to talk to me if you have reservations about me sharing images from your session on my website. I will absolutely respect your privacy if you wish to keep these images off social media.
WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR?
You should wear whatever you are most comfortable in. My work is to tell your story, so there is no need to dress up or wear matching colors or any of that (in fact, please don’t!) - just be YOU. For your information, neutral colors tend to photograph well and I would prefer if you steered away from anything super bright/neon or anything with big logos or characters as they can be distracting. However, if your child insists on wearing their Paw Patrol t-shirt, that is TOTALLY FINE. The key here is to capture everyone’s true character and personality. So if you wear jeans and flip flops everyday, wear jeans and flip flops! Do not put on a dress! I will happily provide specific wardrobe guidance if you are open to leveling up from your every day.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I HAVE TO CANCEL?
I understand that life sometimes gets in the way of our plans-- kids get sick, unexpected things happen, and you may have to cancel our session. I just ask that you try to give me 24 hours notice if at all possible. We will then find a date to re-schedule.
