Families & couples / Nassau County
The whole family, just as you are. Easy direction, genuine expressions, and photographs with a place in your family's story.
A family photograph can hold several stories at once: a child's expression, the way a couple leans together, a grandparent's hand. Tatiana plans family and couples sessions for Garden City clients with those details in mind. Her style combines clean composition with vintage warmth, leaving space for movement and the unscripted moments around a posed portrait.
Selected photographs from Tatiana's portfolio
For a Garden City family session, start with the setting that will make your people comfortable. A home session can include a favorite corner, a garden or a front step, subject to the available light and space. An outdoor session offers room to move. Share a few details about your preferred location before booking so that access, shade and the practicalities can be considered.
Tell Tatiana the children's ages, the times they tend to feel happiest and anything that helps them warm up. Bring a familiar comfort item if useful and choose clothing that allows sitting, walking and being held. A simple outfit palette can keep attention on faces without asking everyone to dress identically. Family sessions are not a test of whether a child can sit perfectly still.
Include the people who matter. For a larger group, make a short list of the combinations you would most like: everyone together, grandparents with children, individual families or a couple on their own. Sharing this ahead of time helps the session flow. A couples-only session can be quieter and more personal, with direction that feels natural rather than rigid.
If you prefer a Nassau County park over a home setting, confirm the park's photography permissions during planning. A public park is not automatically available for a professional session.
Before your session
Yes, extended-family portraits can be part of the plan. Include the total number of people and the group combinations you want in your inquiry so timing and location can be discussed.
No. Start with clothing everyone feels comfortable in and a small group of complementary colors. Tatiana can discuss wardrobe direction when planning your session.
Outdoor plans depend on conditions. Discuss an alternate location or date with Tatiana before the session; do not assume an indoor venue is available without confirmation.
Yes. The family and couples offering also works for two people. Tell Tatiana whether you are marking an anniversary, a milestone or simply a season together.
