2020 Year in Review | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Photographer

I always love looking back and putting together my Year in Review blogpost. Thinking about the ups and downs 2020 provided has me feeling super impressed. Not just with myself for rolling with the punches, but for my couples who have had to make all sorts of changes and adjustments to their wedding plans.  I have been so lucky and I have the most amazing cli[...]

Keely and Emmi | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Family Photographer

How lucky am I to have had the opportunity to photograph these sisters before another school year starts. These gorgeous girls are home for the summer and their Mom wanted to make sure we could fit in a photography session. I was so happy to take photos of the girls in Downtown Chatham. I love the Retro Suites block near William street. The historic buildin[...]

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. I was so excited to meet little J and learn a little more about their Dairy Farm and where they had come from. I was fascinated to learn they were not Chatham-Kent originals but decided to make this their home. I'm a little bias since I've grown [...]

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). His Mom allowed him to come up with the theme of his birthday photography session. He wanted to plan a robbery of his beloved Winnie the Pooh bear and have himself be t[...]

Isherwood Family | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Photographer

I had the pleasure of meeting up with one of my past Bride & Grooms last weekend for an extended family session.  Jackie and Rob were married in at the Retro Suites Hotel in the Summer of 2017.  It's so hard to believe their wedding was  almost two years ago. You can have a look back at their  Chatham-Kent Summer Wedding here. This family session was bo[...]

Maternity Photos | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Photographer

Sarah and Woulter invited me to their Ridgetown farm this week to capture some maternity pictures for them. What a warm, welcoming couple to get to know.

Devlaminck Family | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Photographer

I love the fact that I get to see families grow. It's such an honour to have you come back to me year after year to capture your milestones and memories. Sara is not just a client she is a friend and someone I look up to. She has such a big heart. I really admire her passion for children and giving them the best opportunities. Not just her own children...an[...]

Gielen Lifestyle Family Session | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Photographer

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. We met for the first time at the end of August for their maternity pictures. It was a super windy day but we braved Erieau beach.  I'm so glad we did. It wasn't long after their maternity session that they w[...]

Schmelefske Family | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Family Photographer

The Schmelefske Family took advantage of the whole bunch of them getting together this summer to arrange a family photography session.  What a great way to capture some memories that will last a life time. Beth contacted me roughly 9 months before their family shoot to make arrangements. I was very excited to meet them and their grown children with their li[...]

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[...]

2017 Year in Review | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Photographer

Christmas is fast approaching and I must admit I have been slacking with the blog. Let me quickly share some of my favourite images from the Guy family session.

I have been lucky enough to photograph this family over t[...]

Chatham Family Photography Session | Tanya Sinnett Photography

I was excited to meet Jennifer in person for her family photography session. We had first spoken over the phone followed by emails to plan their fall family photos.  Of course we didn't plan for summer weather at the end of October. Regardless, we had a great time chatting and me photographing her beautiful family. Little Miss N is as happy as can be. She e[...]

D'Aliasi Family | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Family Photographer

I want to talk about how organized this family was. They booked their fall family photo session about 10 months in advance. I truly appreciated how organized and how coordinated they were. On top of that they were a lot of fun. They were game for any of my suggestions during their family shoot. Let me share some of my favourite images from their family phot[...]

Miss A has a fabulous imagination,[...]

A quick little blogpost before I head out for my next session. Spring is here and family sessions are in full force.

The leaves are not quite out and we had rain looming on the h[...]

Lauren and her Squad | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Photography

A quick little Monday post to show off Lauren and her amazing squad. Everyone deserves to have friends like these. I couldn't have imagined how much fun I would have when I drove out to Wheatley to photograph this group. They instantly made me feel like one of them. All so warm, funny and caring. When you have been friends as long as these girls it is so mu[...]

It's All About Family | Tanya Sinnett Chatham Ontario Family Photographer

Last November I had the pleasure of meeting Paula for an extended family session with her husbands family. What a treat to be able to photograph her side of the family now. There is so much warmth, respect and love between all of them. We had so many laughs during their session and it was all around a great time for me. At one point I was crying I was laughi[...]

Fern & Her Girls

Fern is one of those ladies you just want to get to know and be around. She has an infectious laugh, big smile and caring heart. Our paths crossed many moons ago when I was in college and again when I started working after having my daughter. Clearly I was meant to know this wonderful strong spirit of a lady. Fern has three amazing and unique daughters. Dan[...]

Family Photography Chatham-Kent, Ontario |Tanya Sinnett Photography

Rachael booked their family photography session for when they would be back in the Chatham-Kent area as they have moved hours away. This photography session was booked as a gift for their Mom.

Jessica had contacted me t[...]

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[...]

Verbeek-Abrantes Family | Tanya Sinnett Photography |Chatham Ontario

In the summer I had the pleasure of photographing Chris' sisters wedding.  It was a beautiful day filled with love and family. How honoured I was when Katie contacted me to do their family pictures.

Dan, Sarah & Mr C | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Family Photography

I had the pleasure of meeting Sarah, Dan and Mr C back in the summer when I did a large family shoot for them. It was an amazing time at their family cottage in Rondeau celebrating her great grandmothers birthday. When Sarah gave me a call a few weeks ago to do fall photos near their home in Chatham I was thrilled. I just adored this sweet little family whe[...]

Verbeek Family | Muirkirk Ontario | Tanya Sinnett Photography

I am so happy to share this gorgeous family session with you. Helena contacted me to do their family photos on their farm.

We had a nice little valley full of golden fall [...]

Dieleman Family | Tanya Sinnett Photography | Chatham-Kent, Ontario

Grace and Bill also contacted me way back in the summer to schedule their fall family photos. I tell you, October session dates book up quickly and I am not kidding!

Deb and Fred | Tanya Sinnett Family Photography | Chatham, ON

What an adorable couple. I really enjoyed spending an evening getting to know Deb and Fred for their pictures. I met up with Deb and Fred at the popular Wilson's Conservation Area. We had a gorgeous mild fall evening to walk around, chat and sometimes stop to take pictures.  Between the two of them they have 8 children. I jokingly called them the Brady bu[...]

We started the evening[...]

Jessome Family Pictures | Chatham-Kent Family Photography

It has been years since I saw Matt last. We used to work in the same building back before I had my son (5 years ago) and before he had any children.  With the magic of facebook we could still see what was happening in each others lives and Matt saw that I now was a photographer. I was ecstatic when he messaged me last month to set up a family photography se[...]

Walker Family Session | Chatham-Kent Family Photography

Friday night I got to photograph one of my favourite families in one of my favourite locations. Erieau Ontario is such a great location to do your family photos at. I love the tall grass and the pier and how just changing my angle can make for a completely different scene. Let me share some of my favourite pictures from their recent family session. ~Tany[...]

Mary & Jess | Friendship Photography Session - Chatham, Ontario

I was excited when Mary and Jess contacted me to do a photography session with them. They are two best friends wanting to get lasting photos of their friendship before life changes.

Extended Family Photography Session | Chatham Ontario

I love taking your family pictures on your property. I have said it many times and I will continue to say it. This session was special, not only were the photos taken on the family farm located just on the outskirts of Chatham,  but the session included the whole family. Looking back on this family session I have a smile on my face as I recall the gorgeou[...]

Tanya Sinnett Photography | Lifestyle Photography Session

I love looking back at my past sessions. It always puts a smile on my face. I had the pleasure of photographing my cousins third child (first daughter) for her newborn photos. We also took the time to capture a few family images as well. What I really enjoyed about this session was being able to be in their home and observe them. It is a wonderful expe[...]

Bowden Family Photography Session Chatham Kent Ontario

I am missing the fall. Today is actually fairly mild. I only wish for snow during this time of year. It brings more magic to Christmas I feel. Even though it is not freezing I am still longing for the gorgeous colours and backdrop the fall season provides for my pictures. I always wish it lasted longer. Have a look at this family photography session do[...]

Down in the Gulley - Fall family Photography Session in Blenheim Ontario

It’s not every day that I am asked to go to a clients home to do their photos. I certainly love when I get the opportunity to do so. I had no idea what to expect at this location. I was pleasantly surprised to find a dream setting to do their family session. There were gorgeous trees and shrubs, ponds, docks and bridges. Honestly, I could shoot there ever[...]
