Portraits & couples / Nassau County
Understated portraits, expressive details. A considered setting and a little vintage warmth for the people who matter most.
For Old Westbury portrait inquiries, Tatiana begins with the person, not the backdrop. A garden-inspired portrait, a personal milestone or a couples session should feel connected to your own taste. TMZ Photography brings minimal composition and vintage character together, with attention to expression, texture and light. The result starts with a thoughtful conversation about the mood you want and where the photographs will live.
Selected photographs from Tatiana's portfolio
If Old Westbury Gardens is your preferred setting, mention it early. The venue has its own portrait-photography permission process, and access must be arranged separately before a session there can be confirmed. Tatiana can discuss the photographic plan, but a photography inquiry does not reserve the venue. Ask about current availability, restrictions and costs directly with the location during planning.
A private home or garden may be a more meaningful setting than a formal venue. Discuss the available space, the light at different times and whether you want the background to be recognizable or simply provide texture. A location does not have to be elaborate to make an expressive photograph. If you prefer a studio-style portrait, ask about arrangements before settling on a date.
A flowing fabric, an heirloom piece of jewelry or a favorite jacket can give a portrait character. Choose one or two details that feel like you and allow the composition to stay simple. For couples, consider complementary colors without matching everything. The selected photographs illustrate Tatiana's broader portfolio; they are not presented as sessions photographed at Old Westbury Gardens or as a venue partnership.

Before your session
No. The venue's permission, availability and any required costs must be confirmed separately. Mention your preferred location in the initial inquiry.
That can be discussed. Describe the available space and the people involved so Tatiana can assess the photographic plan with you.
Start with comfortable clothing you enjoy wearing, then consider colors and textures that complement the setting. Keep changes manageable and discuss the mood beforehand.
Share the full group and desired photographs before booking. Tatiana can recommend an appropriate session plan rather than adding unplanned group work on the day.
