Serving West Vancouver families
West Vancouver Maternity & Newborn Photographer
Calm, fully guided maternity and newborn sessions in a private North Shore studio, a quick drive east from West Vancouver.
Your North Shore neighbour
A quick drive along the Upper Levels.
From Ambleside and Dundarave to the British Properties and Caulfeild, my Lynn Valley studio is a quick drive east along the Upper Levels Highway, often about 15 to 20 minutes.
Your session is planned around you, and I guide you through every pose, so you can relax and enjoy the experience, whether you’re 32 weeks pregnant or just home with your newborn.
Sessions
Find your session
Maternity
Choose from over 70 gowns and feel beautiful in every portrait. Best between 29 and 35 weeks.
Newborn
Classic or natural, your choice, with family portraits included. Best within the first few weeks.
Headshots & Portraits
Modern, fully guided headshots and portraits, even if you don’t love being photographed.
Expecting? Book your maternity and newborn sessions together during your pregnancy, and your maternity session fee is complimentary. I only take a limited number of newborns each month, so reaching out early is the best way to get the dates you’d like.

“I was initially hesitant about even doing a maternity shoot, but she immediately made me feel relaxed and calm from the moment we arrived.”
Jessica · Maternity
“My husband and I were able to enjoy a quiet morning while Tanja worked her magic with our little guy! Our pictures are stunning and the album we purchased is gorgeous.”
Katie · Newborn
“We took pictures a little later than is standard for newborn shots (at 8 weeks old)… she rolled with it, pulled out all the tricks and got fantastic shots.”
