August 30th where has the year gone?  Just a really quick chat  with a super cool post.  Amelia and Jeremy thank you for sharing your three little men you know how much I adored photographing your beautiful family they are the coolest little kids so much fun with loads of free spirit.

Thank you to Jacinta, Jess and the girls at St Martins for my beautiful flowers I am looking forward to sharing your images very soon check back soon to enjoy.

I was asked today at my gray st studio “How does it feel knowing that you have created all these amazing images” and I must say, “I am truly humble”.  I do what I do because I love it so much and yes I earn an income and employ two other staff along with supporting my three children, However my business is here for you to receive emotive, inspiring, gorgeous imagery. It is, what it is today, due to all the different people that I have met that value what I can create for their families to enjoy for a lifetime.  Photography is my passion and I am grateful everyday that I can give the gift of photography to so many people.

lots of hugs Tanya

OMG you have had tophoto overload right?  Three posts in a matter of days what is going on?  Well the peer pressure just became to much to handle.  Just kidding I have felt that it was time to have more presence and share more of what I have been doing.  I apologize now as I am trying to upload many more shoots and I would be around seventy to ninety people behind.  “OMG” I hear you say where do I fit all these photo sessions in.  I will do my best to load everyone that I have photographed in the last six months on my little journal over the next few months if that makes sense.  Keeping very busy and loving that thrill and honor that people invite me into their lives to create pieces of art for their homes.    I do get butterflies  with every shoot that I am invited to do still to this day.  But it keeps me wanting to create more and I feel I am producing some of the best work that I can ever have dreamed of.  My new shooting studio is amazing a little old church.  In fact it is  one of the oldest buildings in Mount Gambier we have been having so much fun creating new imagery and trying new things.  If you would like to be part of the tanya o’leary photography journal we would love to hear from you.  our number is 08 87 255550

For now this is little Allegra isn’t she just to die for!

My biggest web post ever I really wanted to share the joy of how three children can connect with each other so loving and honest, this makes my heart sing with happiness.  Penni and Tom it has been such a privilege to capture your wonderful children over the last nearly five years.  (Wow that time really has flown)  I am finding it really hard  to write exactly what I am feeling but I will give it my best shot.   For those of you who know me you would know that I am a very genuine and sincere person giving all that I can give and to be welcomed into peoples lives means so much to me that what I can create is looked upon as art and not just another photo.  Penni you have always given me this freedom to capture your children at different stages in their childhood and this is really something special.   Thank you it means so much to me love Tan xx

I would like to ask all my viewers if  you were a colour what colour would you be.  please leave your thoughts in the comments field and I would love to see if we have a record of comments especially since it is a record of how big this post is.  Come on don’t be shy it will make my day maybe even my year.  lots of hugs and kisses.
