Family photos are often associated with the early years when children are small, growing up so quickly that every moment feels fleeting. However, as the Butler family recently discovered during their photo session, capturing family memories is just as important when the children are adults.

Jeremy & Lindsay Spring Wedding | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer
One thing I know about Jeremy and Lindsay is that neither of them like to be the center of attention. During our meetings and time together they both expressed their nerves of having all eyes on them. It was nearly impossible to not look at this gorgeous bride and groom. Not only were they both stunning on their wedding day, they were also full of laughter a[...]

Colin & Victoria Winter Engagement Session | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer
I was so excited that Victoria & Colin wanted to do a winter engagement session. I think the winter season is overlooked far too much. It can create some really beautiful images.

Let me[...]

I was so excited to finally meet Mitch & Bela in person. Up until their engagement session we had only had virtual meetings and emails exchanged.

They totally embrac[...]

Jamie & Michelle Best Wedding Day | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer
It sounds so cliché but it's true, COVID can't stop love. It certainly didn't get in the way of Michelle and Jamie making their day happen. Did they have to reorganize almost every detail of their day? Yes. But at the end all that mattered was their love and making it paper official. They were able to celebrate with the people closest to them and live strea[...]
Koop Family Photography Session | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Photographer
I had so much fun meeting the Koop family. They drove from London, Ontario to meet me here in Chatham Kent for their family photos. We had an absolutely gorgeous fall day for their session. It was mild and golden and just so lovely getting to know all of them.

Jeremy & Bridget Wedding Day | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer
I’ve been trying to find the time to put together a worthy blogpost for this wonderful couple. If anyone knows a photographer, they know how crazy the fall season is. I feel like when winter hits I’m going to be a bear and hibernate.
Bridget and Jeremy tied the knot in September after their original date had to move because of…COVID. It honestly didn’t dam[...]
Steve & Kourtney Engagement Session | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer
I thought I would quickly put a little blogpost together from Steve and Kourtney's recent engagement session. When the fall weather is right it is oh so right.

This was actually the first time we me[...]

I tell ya, the last month has gone by in a blur. If you know a photographer please give them a hug because fall is a little crazy for them. By hug, I mean virtual of course because...COVID.

2020...the year that shall not be named. It has really done a number on everyone. Every business has been affected and every person in some way.

It's no secret that I love engagement sessions. I pry and want to hear all the details about how the proposal went, if someone was surprised, how you met etc. I adore seeing the inside jokes and really getting to know my clients.

Andrew & Angela Summer Engagement Session | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer
I had the pleasure of meeting up with Andrew and Angela at their home. They wanted to make sure we were able to capture some images of their fur babies before we started the engagement session.

After some quick pics at home we[...]
Matt & Yettie Intimate Wedding | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer
Intimate weddings are where it's at now.

Matt and Yettie we[...]
Daniel & Kassandra Maternity Pictures | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Family and Wedding Photographer
It has been a while since I have done a new blogpost. COVID had me shut down (like the rest of the world) for some time. I wasn't able to get behind my camera and capture the beautiful moments that make my heart happy. I did try some selfies for a bit but realized I was a terrible subject and difficult to work with. HAHA I started to paint with water colours[...]
Pat & Brenda Downtown Chatham Engagement Session | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer
When my Mom and her boyfriend Pat came home from their cruise a few weeks ago, I had them over for dinner. I wanted to see pictures and hear all about their adventures.

Jason & Alyssa Maternity Photo Shoot | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Family Photographer
January can be a slow month for photography. At least for me. I do welcome the break and the time to re-energize but I start to get a little stir crazy too. Thankfully I have a lot of photographer friends who can relate to this feeling.
Amy Malott Photography volunteered her sister-in law for this fun shoot. As you can see she is expecting. Amy brought alo[...]

Mike & Crystal Links of Kent Wedding | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer
There are so many things that come to mind when I think back to Mike and Crystals Wedding Day.

Pierre & Kim Engagement Session | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer
Pierre and Kim...Kim and Pierre...where do I even begin to describe these two and the fun we had at their engagement session.

I am pretty sure we became bff's during their [...]
Matt & Yettie Petrolia Engagement Session | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer
I loved getting to know Matt and Yettie at their recent engagement photo session. Yettie is so out going and exuding sunshine. Matt is quiet and gentle. He was very concerned with Yettie being too cold during the photography session. Together they make for a sweet partnership.
Their session started with me meeting at Matt's parents home. They had me drive [...]

Carlee and Steven had a beautiful fall wedding this year. They chose to have their wedding ceremony at the lovely Greenhill Gardens in Wilkesports. This was a charming setting for their outdoor ceremony as well as a fabulous location for their wedding pictures.

Dan & Jessica Wedding Day | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer
Dan & Jess had their wedding earlier this month. Jess made a stunning bride and looked like a princess in her wedding dress.

Their ceremony and reception was held[...]

Kyle & Kate's Country Barn Wedding | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer
I'm so happy to share Kyle & Kate's beautiful Country Church Wedding. Their wedding day was held on a sweltering fall weekend. Yes...sweltering.

Kates dress was so elegant and absolu[...]
The Roy Family | Tanya Sinnett Photography Chatham-Kent Family Photographer
I had the best time photographing the Roy family last week. With a potential storm in the forecast we made the decision to move their session time up early. I'm so thankful we made that call as the storm hit on my way home from their photography session.

Erieau Family Photography Session | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Family Photographer
When one of my past Brides contacted me about doing family photos when her son and his family came for a visit I immediately jumped up and said yes!

Klessens Family Session | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Family Photographer
I had the pleasure of meeting with Laura and Bart on their farm this week to take their first ever family photos.

Lucas & Amber Wedding Day! {Tanya Sinnett Chatham Kent Wedding Photographer}
Amber and Lucas are an amazing young couple that I had the pleasure of photographing their wedding. It was incredible to watch them together.

He holds the car (or in their case truck) door open for her to get[...]
Tristan & Samantha Wedding | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer
Two weeks ago I had the privilege of photographing Samantha and Tristan's wedding at the gorgeous Links of Kent Golf Club. Months of planing go into your special day but what you can't plan for is Mother Nature. Rain was in the forecast (like every day it seems) and their outdoor ceremony needed to be moved inside. Thank goodness it was, the worst of the s[...]
Dan & Jess Port Stanley Engagement Photos | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer
How could I say no when Dan and Jess asked me to do their engagement session in Port Stanley Ontario? This was a special location for them.

I wish I had a quarter o[...]
Mike & Crystal Engagement and Family Photos | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer
We ended up with a beautiful Sunday evening for Mike and Crystals engagement session. It was iffy with a rain storm in the afternoon but we waited it out and were lucky enough to have a dry session.

For Mike and Crystals engagement photos they brough[...]
Elliott Birthday Shoot | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Family Photographer
When Elliott's Mom contacted me to do a fun birthday shoot I was game. Elliott dreams of becoming a police officer (and I so hope that happens and these images can be used at his graduation).

What a Spring we've been having here in Southern Ontario. We've had so many rain days that I'm about ready to build an ark. Thankfully Mother Nature decided to be kind to us last week for Steven and Carlee's Engagement Photos. The sun even decided to come out for us.
I met with Steven and Carlee at Two Creeks Conservation Area in Wheatley Ontario for their[...]
The Huys Family Photography Session | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Photographer
I was absolutely thrilled to have the Huys family in front of my camera once again. This family holds a special place in my heart.

On top of the joy of seeing their boys grow they are also incredibly fun to work with.
Their recent[...]

These two are a sweet young coupl[...]
Ryan & Amy Wallaceburg Wedding | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer
Ryan & Amy got married this Fall. If you recall we had a very wet Autumn. It seemed as though it rained every single Saturday. This one was no different.

Thankfully the Sydenham Curling Club was where their reception was to be held and offer[...]

One of the many perks of my job is getting to meet the incredible families I get to photograph. The Gielen family is just one of those amazing families.

Ryan & Trina Erieau Engagement Session | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Photographer
I had the pleasure of meeting up with Ryan and Trina last week for their Engagement Session. We met in Erieau Ontario. This was their first visit to this quaint little town. I absolutely love doing engagement sessions out there. There is something about the beach and the water that I find very romantic.
Trina and Ryan will be celebrating their wedding day [...]
Austin & Kim Chatham Kent Wedding | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer
Where to start? Austin and Kim are one of those couples you know were definitely made for each other. You could feel their love and respect they each held for the other. From the way Austin would glance at Kim. To how Kim would softly look at him. How they were able to make each other laugh and their hands automatically reached for each other. It was magical[...]
Ian & Jocelyn Engagement Session | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Photographer
I had the pleasure of photographing Ian and Joceyln for their engagement photos. This is actually the first time they have had professional photos taken together.
The two of them were so fun and easy to work with but I must admit Duke their lab stole the show. I loved how he hopped through the wheat field with so much joy.
Thankfully the massive storm happ[...]

Downtown Chatham Family Session | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Photographer

Barrette Family | Tanya Sinnett Photography London Ontario
I just adore this family and don't get to seem them nearly enough. It was fantastic to meet up with them at Gibbons Park in London Ontario. This is the first time they have had professional family photos done.
With toddlers you just have to go with the show and let them run the program. They have a mind of their own and that is ok with me. It's real and aut[...]

The two of them made me feel like one of their gro[...]
