TANYA ST PHOTOGRAPHY

I’m Tanya — a portrait specialist based in Aberdeen, Scotland, dedicated to capturing the real, confident you. Portrait photography for me is about more than pretty lighting and flattering angles: it’s about creating a space where people feel relaxed, empowered and free to be themselves. Whether you want a personal beauty shoot, headshot for LinkedIn, or images that support your personal brand, my approach centres on warmth, care and authenticity. My style is gentle and conversational. I work unobtrusively to capture natural expressions and real moments while offering subtle direction when needed — the result is professional portraits that look and feel like you, not like a posed image. I draw on years of experience working with individuals of all ages and backgrounds to help camera-shy clients feel at ease, and to bring out the different sides of someone’s character when they want something bolder or more stylised. Working with me is a collaborative experience. I begin by listening to your ideas and the look you’re aiming for, then offer guidance on styling, outfits and tones so everything in the frame supports the final image. If you’d like, I can recommend trusted hair and make-up artists and coordinate the details — helping to make the whole session smooth, simple and enjoyable. My sessions are tailored to your needs: relaxed and fun for a personal shoot, or more focused and polished for a professional headshot. While portrait work is my speciality, my background in wedding and family photography informs the way I capture emotion and connection — always attentive to moments that feel truthful and timeless. I pride myself on creating an atmosphere where clients leave feeling confident and delighted with their images. If you’re looking for a portrait studio in Aberdeen that combines technical skill with a caring, human approach, I’d love to help you make images that matter. Get in touch and let’s plan a session that reflects who you are and how you want to be seen.
