Tanya Sinnett Photography

This year has been crazy busy! I certainly am not complaining, but it has left little time for me to make blogposts. These posts are so important to not only showcase some of my favourite images from sessions but also so people searching for a photographer can find me and see my work. So, let me share some of my favourite photos from Kody & Desirea's eng[...]

Mat & Samantha Beach Maternity Session | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Photographer

I love reconnecting with past Brides and Grooms. I'm excited to see where life is taking them. Having the opportunity to work with Mat & Samantha again did not leave me disappointed. These two tied the knot last fall in an intimate backyard wedding. You can visit their wedding post here. Covid and lockdowns were not about to slow these two down on their[...]

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[...]

Deacon Family Photography Session | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Photographer

The next two months are pretty crazy busy. That's how it goes as a photographer. Some weeks nothing and other weeks you are scrambling to fit everyone it. I'll take the busy. In the meantime, let me share some of my favourite images from the Deacon family shoot. They honestly were so fun to work with and I like to think they thought I was pretty funny.

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. If you know me you know I love taking pictures of fur babies and get super excited if they are included in your photography session. After some quick pics at home 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. Little did I know they had a big adventure to share with me. Pat had purposed to my Mom on the balcony of their room. It had been something he was planning to do for some time, he was waitin[...]

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[...]

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. From our first meeting at a local coffee shop I knew we would get along perfectly. They not only got my sense of humour and laughed at my jokes but they were equally hilarious themselves. I am pretty sure we became bff's during their [...]

Steven & Carlee Wilkesport Wedding | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer

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. I started the day at their home in Wallaceburg where Carlee was just about finished her make-up a[...]

Darren & Jodi Downtown Chatham Engagement Session | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer

Jodi and Darren had booked the afternoon off from work and were driving in from Leamington for their engagement session. Sure enough it was a rainy day and no option to reschedule. What were we to do? We went with it. I had some umbrellas in the back of my car and we just had fun playing and dancing in the rain. I loved how willing the two of them were to ge[...]

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. Dan certainly cleaned up well and I loved the little touch of wearing pug socks. Of course they had their own pug join them for the ceremony. Buffy was happy to watch her parents tie the knot. Their ceremony and reception was held[...]

Mat & Sam Engagement Photos | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer

Mat and Sam rocked their engagement session last week. We met in Blenheim to start their session and ended at one of my favourite locations, Erieau. I was so excited that they included their fur babies for their engagement photos. Goose and Bella were adorable and so well behaved. Mat and Sam really know what they are doing when it comes to animals. It may [...]

Stephens Family Photo Shoot | Tanya Sinnett Chatham Kent Family & Wedding Photographer

The last time this family was in front of my camera little Mr X was one. It had been a few years and Mom realized that it was time to update that family photo hanging in their home. These two little guys were full of energy for their family session. I can assure you all that I love it. I love seeing them run and giggle and feel so comfortable around me they [...]

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. I can say these two have a knack for picking extreme weather situations for their photography sessions. We did their engagement photos on a very frigid December afternoon. 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. This bunch made their session so much fun. We shared laughs as I guided them into their poses. There wer[...]

Chris & Hilary Links of Kent Wedding | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer

I had the pleasure of photographing Chris and Hilary's Wedding day last week. It was a perfect fall day. The temperature was gorgeous, the fluffy clouds perfect and the love was evident. Not only the love between Hilary and Chris but the love their families had for them. Clearly their parents were waiting for this wedding day to happen and make things offici[...]

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! From working with Sylvia in the past I have gotten to know just how much her family means to her. It can be difficult when your grown children move away and you don't get the chance to see them as much as you wo[...]

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 [...]

Lucas & Amber Wedding Day! {Tanya Sinnett Chatham Kent Wedding Photographer}

3

Amber and Lucas are an amazing young couple that I had the pleasure of photographing their wedding. It was incredible to watch them together. Amber has a million and one facts stored in her brain and Lucas just smiles and looks at her in awe as she retrieves any of them during a conversation. 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[...]

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. This is the wettest Spring I can recall. The farmers are still trying to plant and we are already into June. 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). 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[...]

Steven & Carlee Engagement Session | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer

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. They were one of the first families to ever book me for a photography session and they have come back many times over the years. On top of the joy of seeing their boys grow they are also incredibly fun to work with. Their recent[...]

Trevor & Alex Engagement Session | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer

Alex looked so beautiful when she pulled up for their recent engagement session. She had her wedding make-up trial done for their engagement photos (which I always recommend doing) and she was positively glowing. During their egagement photography session it was so clear to me how comfortable these two are together. We had nothing but laughs shared between [...]

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[...]

Holtby Family Photography Session | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Photographer

“Do what you love, love what you do, and with all your heart give yourself to it.” ― Roy T. Bennett I couldn't love what I do anymore. Everyday and each session I walk away feeling truly blessed that this is my job. I get to make connections with the most wonderful people. I get a glimpse at their family life, at their relationships and sometimes at the[...]

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. I am so excited for them to welcome their first child and pleased we could capture these images in their forever home. This is the home they will raise their family as well as their many, many farm animals.[...]

Kyle & Kate Engagement Session | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer

I finally had the privileged of meeting Kyle and Kate this week. The crazy week between Christmas and New Years Eve. Both are not living locally so all of our communications have been over the phone or the web. Thankfully they were able to make it to Chatham-Kent for the holidays and we squeezed in their engagement session. These two are a sweet young coupl[...]

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[...]

Kyle & Nikki Wedding Day | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Ontario Photographer

Kyle and Nikki recently got married at the Rochester Place Golf Course & Resort in Belle River. It was my first time photographing at this location. What a beautiful venue with the golf course for scenery. Plus you had the option of renting cabins to stay the night of the wedding or even before hand to get ready for the wedding in. That's just what Kyle [...]

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[...]

Ryan & Trina Erieau Engagement Session | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Photographer

2

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 [...]

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[...]

Austin & Kim Erieau Engagement Session | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer

I couldn't wait to share the beautiful images from Austin and Kim's recent engagement session. They are such a lovely young couple. I'm really looking forward to their June Wedding.

Lucas & Amber Spring Engagement | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Photographer

A quick little blogpost of Lucas & Amber's Spring Engagement Session.

2018-2019 Wedding Bookings | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer

Happy Engagement Season! This is a time of year where a lot of wedding inquiries come in. All those Christmas and New Year Engagements and now the fun part, planning the big day. If you are in the beginning stages of planing I highly recommend booking the vendors you want as soon as you can. Often we book 1-2 years in advance. I have limited availability l[...]

2017 Year in Review | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Photographer

2017 has come to an end. The year flew by. I had so much fun meeting so many new clients and making new friends. I'm sad to see 2017 end but I'm very excited to see what 2018 has in store. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your 2017, whether it was for family pictures or wedding pictures I loved it all. Let me share a few of my favourite images from [...]

Guy Family Photography Session | 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[...]

Johnny & Kaila Engagement Session | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Photographer

Johnny and Kaila drove up to Chatham-Kent last weekend for a rainy engagement session. We spent the first half of our time exploring the private property of a friend where we will be doing their wedding photos. We couldn't have asked for a more gorgeous location. After we left the property we headed to Erieau Ontario. This is always a popular choice for eng[...]

Ryan & Colleen Engagement Session | Tanya Sinnett Chatham Kent Photographer

I met up with Ryan and Colleen at the beautiful Greenhill Gardens in Wilkesport, Ontario for their Engagement Pictures. We had the most amazing fall weather for their session. Golden light, warm air and beautiful sunset. I was surprised and pleased when Ryan brought his antique Chevrolet for their engagement session. It is clear he takes a lot of pride in i[...]

Tyler & Suzanne Deer Run Golf Course Wedding | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer

Tyler and Suzanne are an extremely sweet couple. Their love of games had me reflecting on my own relationship with my husband. Gaming can bring people together and forge friendships. They even had guests drive hours to their wedding that they met through gaming. Tyler and Suzanne spent the morning getting ready in family homes. They currently live in Ottawa[...]

Summer Family Photography Session | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Family Photographer

I love summer and all the warm golden evenings it gives me. All the more time to fit in family photography sessions with some of my favourite families. It was roughly a year ago that I last had this family in front of my camera. At that time Sara was expecting Mr G. You can take a look at their last family session here. Sara's Family Session 2016 I had so[...]

Chris & Katie's Wedding Day | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer

I was so excited to be the photographer for Chris and Katie's Spring Wedding here in Chatham-Kent. I've had various opportunities to meet them and photograph them over the last few years.

Tyler & Suzanne Engagement Session | Tanya Sinnett Wedding Photography

I was so excited to meet Tyler and Suzanne for their engagement session. They flew in from Ottawa that day to meet up with me. It was our first time meeting in 'real' life and I couldn't have been happier with them. They have a lot in common. Both work in IT, both like games (like me) and both are extremely easy to get a long with. It is very clear how much[...]

Johnny & Tina Engagement| Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Engagement Photographer

After rain had caused their Engagement Session to be reschedule two previous times, I received a text that morning from Tina. "Rain or shine we are taking photos today." I was excited to meet this adventurous couple. Luckily, by the afternoon the rain had stopped and we had the most gorgeous evening to do their engagement pictures. I met up with Johnny and [...]

Mark & Jennifer Maternity Photography Session | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Photographer

I read a quote recently that said October is to Photographers what April is to Accountants. Boy does that ring true as I try to keep up with my sessions and weddings. This is a beautiful but busy time of year. So with that said let me be quick and share a few images from Jennifer and Marks Maternity session we did in Tilbury Ontario. I loved this park and th[...]

Just the Kids Family Photography Session | Tanya Sinnett Chatham Ontario Photographer

I was thrilled to meet up with Angela and her children for their family photography session. Unfortunately Angela was feeling under the weather so it was just the kids for this session. I was able to photograph four of the cutest kids ever! Each with their own personality and charm. I had a blast checking out their gorgeous property that was full of flowers [...]

Jacob & Jordan Chatham-Kent Wedding | Tanya Sinnett Photography

Jacob and Jordan are an amazing couple. They worked all summer to prepare their property for their intimate wedding. Unfortunately you can't always count on the weather to cooperate. There was an impressive storm that came in right after their outdoor ceremony started. The couple and guests took cover quickly and waited for the worse of it to pass. It didn'[...]

Chris & Sabrina Farm Wedding | Tanya Sinnett Chatham Wedding Photographer

Chris and Sabrina like many others had a memorable wedding day. They planned all the details for their special day from afar with the help of Kim, a wedding planer at Blossoming Dream.

Julie contacted me early in her pregnancy to make sure she could schedule me for their maternity photos. I was honoured and excited to meet her and her growing family. Right away I felt like we were old friends. Her photography session was relaxed and fun. I loved all her outfit choices. Their two pups were a little over eager to get into pictures but manag[...]

Smyth Family Photography Session in Erieau | Tanya Sinnett Chatham Family Photographer

When Mary contacted me to do her family photos she had said it had been a number of years since they had any done. In fact, during their family photography session I learned that her son may have been glued into their last set since he wasn't there for the pictures. I'm sure it makes for a funny story now but there really is nothing like updating your family[...]

Chris & Sabrina Chatham-Kent Engagement Session | Tanya Sinnett Chatham Ontario Photographer

I was thrilled to finally meet Chris and Sabrina. All of our communications have been through e-mail, text and the dreaded facetime. I find it so awkward to meet people over a device. I feel like its a little more difficult to communicate and really get a feel for me and my personality. So needless to say I was happy to be able to meet them face to face for [...]

Jacob & Jordan Engagement Photography Session | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Photographer

When we were discussing locations for Jacob and Jordan's engagement session we decided the best place would be their farm. This will be the same location for their summer wedding. What a great way to get a feel for the property as well as plan out where we would be doing their wedding photos. Jacob and Jordan are two of the most down to earth people I have [...]

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.

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.

Walker Family Session | Chatham-Kent Family Photography

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.

Looking back on this family session I have a smile on my face as I recall the gorgeou[...]

Summertime and the Living's Easy | Erieau Family Beach Photography Session

I have been slacking on the blog post lately. As I was shoveling my driveway I started thinking of warmer days. I can’t wait for some gorgeous evenings with some nice golden light. Where it doesn’t get dark before dinner. I know Spring is around the corner and busy times are just ahead. Well during my reminiscing this session came to mind. Jason is ano[...]

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[...]
