Tanya Sinnett Photography

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. Often the engagement session is the first time we work together. Not for Shane and Amanda, I did a family session with them in 201[...]

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[...]

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[...]

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[...]

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 [...]

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. They have had many date nights and walks with their beloved pup Buffy. Buffy was pretty thrilled to be back at their date spot. She was running around on her leash back and forth across the sand. I wish I had a quarter o[...]

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).

I was very excited to meet them and their grown children with their li[...]

Tristan & Samantha Downtown Chatham Engagement Session | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer

Of course we faced a day of rain leading up to their engagement session. We made the decision to go forward with their photography session but changed their original Erieau location for Downtown Chatham. I think it worked perfectly. As soon as I saw Samm walking towards me in her pale blue dress I smiled. I loved the way it looked with the colourful Retro Su[...]

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.

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.

Thankfully the massive storm happ[...]

Delve & Lorene Engagement Session | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer

What a great time I had photographing Delve and Lorene for their engagement session. We met up at Brander Park in Port Lambton. I think its fair to say we were all blown away by the beauty of the park and we all wanted to run away because of the bugs. We didn't think to bring bug spray and the mosquitoes were hungry. Not that I think the bug spray would ha[...]

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[...]
