Van Damme Family Photography Session | Tanya Sinnett Photography (Chatham-Kent)

I have been photographing this family for a few years now. They usually have me come out to their farm before Christmas to photograph their family. Despite the cold we always manage to have a good time. Little Miss M is growing into a lovely little girl. No longer the toddler. It amazes me how quickly they grow up. She can tell me about school now and namin[...]

Brewer Family Photography Session | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Photographer

What an adorable family I had the pleasure of photographing. The little girls had such a timeless look to them. I mentioned to their mother that the youngest looked like she was out of a 1940's story book. Jenn found me after I did family photos for one of their closest friends. It is so flattering and an honour when I hear I am being recommended. I love al[...]

Colby Family | Tanya Sinnett Chatham Family Photographer

April is a fellow photographer and also my best friend. It's only natural that we trade photography sessions each year. When we are together it is like two siblings. We bicker, we laugh we have silent conversations in our heads that only the two of us get. I have known her for half my life! Only recently did I realize she is the only person I talk to on the[...]

Myers Fall Family Photos | Chatham, Ontario | Tanya Sinnett Photography

I was so excited when Tanya booked me for their fall family photos. Not only their fall family photos but their first ever family pictures. We decided to stick close to home and did their pictures at Maple City Cemetery. Tanya was a little nervous with how her son might react to a stranger taking his picture. He is shy like my son so I could understand her[...]
