We worked with Tanya for the Christmas Box photos. I have a 5 year old girl and a 1.5 year old boy. My daughter loves the camera and instantly clicked with Tanya. My son gave her a run for her money. We are in the clingy stage, but somehow, she made him laugh and got some GREAT shots. I was extremely impressed with her interactions with my children. We have taken photos over the years, but her connection with my kids made want to book her again in the future. Thank you, Tanya! read more

If you are looking for a newborn, holiday, milestone, or family photo session, look no further. Tanya is absolutely the best when it comes to capturing the perfect pictures for you and your family. This review was way overdue, we've used Tanya for our newborn, holiday and 1 year old photo sessions and I am sure for many more others to come. During our newborn session, both my husband and I were super stressed before the appointment, we just didn't know how our baby (10 days old) will be. Tanya put our fears to rest once we arrived, she walked us through the whole process and told us what to expect. She quickly calm our daughter down and put her to sleep so she can do her magic. My husband and I were so relaxed during the shoot, and what separated her from the rest was her ability to capture "the moment", all the pictures we received back were precious. Tanya was patient, professional, and motherly to our then newborn. During our holiday and 1 year old photo sessions, Tanya was the exact same, she made sure the whole family looked good, she even made sure my fly-aways are tamed. Tanya is really the best and I couldn't wait to see how our 1 year old photos turned out. read more

Such lovely pictures from such a talented photographer. After I found her site on line I booked a family photo session at a local lake. My children were a little misbehaved and Tanya was very patient with them and us. She got fantastic shots that I love and will treasure for the rest of my life. I highly recommend booking a session with Tanya. She rocks! read more

Tanya is THE BEST. Seriously. I'm so glad I found Tanya for my maternity shoot and my newborn's photos. I LOVE working with her, she is lively, cheerful, and just all-around amazing. She has such a good eye for photos and is very talented. I love all the photos she took. She made us feel so comfortable in our maternity shoot (and being 7.5 months pregnant, I was definitely not comfortable!), had really great ideas for the shots, and captured the best angles for both my husband and I. We went to a park in Hayward and the lighting was absolutely gorgeous. Tanya was SO amazing with our baby daughter, who was only 10 days old. She has a cozy studio where I could change my baby, had all these amenities like changing table, bathroom, and couches for me to breastfeed my newborn. Tanya really knows how to handle newborns. She has a fantastic set up with sound machines and space heater, and so many different colors headbands, swaddles, blankets, flowers, etc. for props. This is our first baby and I will absolutely book Tanya again for my next toddler & baby photoshoot. read more

I became a fan of Tanya Mally Photography on Facebook because I heard you could get good deals from her. I saw some of her work and it was adorable!! She also has an ad on The Bump....it was enough to make me "like" her. I scored an awesome Belly to Baby package which included 1 hour maternity session and one hour newborn session, in home. It was ridiculously cheap when you compared it to other photographers. My maternity session was amazing. She is so personable, loved shooting me, made my husband and I laugh. We got amazing shots which are priceless to us. I unexpectedly went into labor early and am so grateful Tanya got to capture these precious moments of my pregnancy. I love love LOVE our pictures. My twins were born premature and were not available for pictures right away. We finally set a date but ended up having to reschedule when one of our babies got sick. Tanya was so understanding and accommodating, she even let us reschedule to a Friday night. We had paid for the one hour newborn session but Tanya stayed much longer. It was important to her to get a good shot, even when my girls werent cooperating. She patiently waited until my daughters were photo ready. Our pictures are gorgeous and amazing and Tanya made that happen, I would recommend her to anyone, and encourage people to check out her gallery and Fan her on Facebook. She always has deals and she is sooooo affordable! Love love love her work. read more

I've got nothing but good things to say at Tanya Mally Photography! Tanya is amazing with my son and our photos turn out looking great. We've used her a couple times now and since the first time we knew she would be our photographer for everything! She is super accommodating and flexible, quick to respond to emails, always posting deals on Facebook... just a great lady running a great business. Can't say enough about her! Definitely recommend for anybody looking for pictures of any sort! read more

Tanya is the most amazing photographer!! More than that, she is an amazing person and so sweet to be around. I found Tanya from the great reviews on Yelp when I was looking to do a maternity shoot. I emailed Tanya and we decided on the "Belly to Baby" package- which consisted of a maternity shoot and a newborn shoot when our daughter was about a week old. Our maternity shoot was great. She even made my super shy husband feel completely at ease and I didn't feel self-conscious despite being 8 months pregnant. But the real test was the newborn shoot. Our baby girl was only 8 days old when we did the shoot. I was a tired new mommy who still wasn't quite sure how to calm my baby Audrey's sweet cries. Miss Tanya was SO patient with our little fussy one, and even got her to fall asleep (something I still hadn't figured out as a new mom). Audrey peed and pooped during the shoot, but Miss Tanya never made us feel bad about that and insisted it was the norm. If you are looking for a down to earth amazing photographer to capture your most special moments, Miss Tanya is that person!! =] read more

I booked a mini session with Tanya. Due to unforeseen miscommunication of the location we didn't see her on time for the shoot. Tanya was accommodating and offered to take the shoot on another day so that we do not lose out on the given deposit. She communicated well to set a date and time that worked best for both of us. Which I totally appreciated. Less than a week and a half and the shoot was on. At the shoot she was so kind and warm to my kids. She talked to my 2 years old just like a friend an warm up to her well. She made them feel excited for the photos. Tanya did an excellent job making them smile. I asked and she worked with all that can. She promised photos in two weeks. To my eyes I saw her email with the link within a week after the shoot. I love how our photos turned out. Very vivid and a live. She knows how to work the light. I would totally recommend her services to anyone. read more

Would give her 10 stars if I could :) A close friend of mine has been raving about Tanya for months. Finally I booked a package with her for an hour at Baker beach for $125. The trek out there was NO fun, but we really wanted family pics on the beach. We we're super late, but luckily she was able to squeeze us in and got some great shots. She is GREAT with children, I have 2 toddlers and they loved loved loved her. Well we all loved loved loved her. I cannot wait to see our pics and work with her again. Her prices are extremely reasonable and she always has some type of deal going on. read more

Miss Tanya is by FAR the BEST of the BEST. She is friendly, funny, personable, patient and GREAT with kids. She goes above and beyond to make sure you get great photos of your kiddos whether they are cooperative or not. She even has special Mini Sessions monthly that are available at AWESOME Prices.

Just be sure to contact her sooner than later as she books up really fast. Naturally. read more

I cant say enough good things about this woman! Not only were our pictures downright AMAZING, but she made the photo shoot fun. I felt like we were old friends. She was extremely patient with my 2 year old and came prepared with everything for pictures and entertainment. She was so prompt in getting them online which was great! When I saw my maternity photos I literally cried. She caught the love I feel for my family in her photos. We will use her again and again. If I could give her 10 stars I would! read more

My first pictures done by Tanya were Maternity photos for my daughter (now 2) then her newborn photos. I would NEVER go to anyone else. Her patience and calm demeanor...never giving up on getting the picture...I was speechless. She is truly an amazing talent. I have now received, maternity photos again and family photos, and multiple mini sessions and NEVER have walked away disappointed. She is the best of the best. My kids love her and I look forward to years of Tanya doing all my family photos. She is AWESOME read more

I have used Tanya multiple times. She was recommended to us for my first sons newborn photo shoot. Since then we have used her for family photos, additional newborn photo sessions, 1st birthdays, and sibling photos. We even used her for some very specific photos, and she created a masterpiece. I highly recommend her. She is great with the littles, energetic, prompt, and honest! read more

I have had the pleasure of having Tanya take my family pictures as well as A boudoir session! My family pictures we went to a local park in Fremont and the pictures she took captured my family perfectly. I adored every last picture. I also have had the pleasure of doing a Boudoir Experience. Tanya made me feel extremely comfortable and the outcome was nothing but AMAZING! I had to do a double take to realize it was actually me in the photographs! I have many upcoming special events and will for sure be booking Tanya for these events! Thanks again Tanya for the amazing photos!!! read more

Tanya is spectacular, a truly wonderful person with extraordinary photography talent. She was recommended to me by a friend who had family photos snapped by Tanya, and I remember being highly impressed by the quality of her work she did for my friend. My first impression of Tanya was quickly sealed when I watched her interact with my newborn (at the time), and again with her at her first birthday. She's confident in her talent, has no qualms about being goofy and playful to get kids to loosen up in front of the lens, and her eye for high-quality photos is impeccable. She books up VERY quickly, so if you're considering Tanya's talents to capture you moments on camera, get in touch with her ASAP. I really cannot say enough good things about Tanya's talents, work quality, and overall persona. read more

Tanya and her crew are AWESOME! I met Tanya in High School and am blessed to have kept in touch with her. She has been my family photographer for about 3 years now. She did our engagement and family session, our wedding and will do our trash the dress session. I have 4 children, and she was GREAT to make sure she got smiles from us and them for each picture. She listens to your needs and requests, and does her best to comply. She has a SUPER bubbly attitude and is a very caring person. She also offers a Photo Booth, which was a MAJOR hit at my wedding! I 100% recommend Tanya, and look forward to having her as our photographer for future events. read more

I have nothing but positive things to say about Tanya! I had my first photo shoot with her when I was pregnant and being pregnant you don't feel pretty at all and really don't want to show off your tummy but when I went there she made me feel so relaxed and made me feel beautiful inside and out! She truly knows how to make one feel comfortable. When I saw the outcome of the photos I was floored!!!!!! They were AMAZING!!!!!! She captured some beautiful moments with the hubby and I and truly captured flattering poses. The hubby and I then brought our newborn son in for his photos and I thought it was going to be a disaster! My son is a wiggle worm and doesn't just sit still...It's like you need to be on his terms, but Tanya was like the baby whisperer. She had him so calm we were able to get the shoot done in a snap! The photos came out sooooooo adorable it brought tears to our eyes! She captured some precious moments of him and even caught a few smiles in there. Her prices and packages are VERY reasonable too!!!! Let me just say you can't go wrong with Tanya Mally!!! She is very reliable, fun to work with, her packages are reasonably priced, great with kids and she will make you laugh and have a good time!!!! read more

All I have to say is I LOVE HER!!! She is so amazing and so down to earth. My husband even loves her and so does my daughter!!

She is great with my daughter and my daughter just laughs and laughs with her. She really has a heart of gold and is great with children. She responds to every email within 48 hours and just has amazing work. She always goes above and beyond our expectations. She is a true professional and can make anyone feel comfortable read more

Best Photographer Ever!!!! Tanya did my engagement pictures and my little sisters senior/graduation pictures and she did a fabulous job at a fair price. But she was hands down amazing last month when she shot my wedding photographs. She wasn't just a photographer either, she made sure I always had a drink in my hand, she carried bags from the bridal room to the ballroom, and even cleaned a spot off of my dress in between the ceremony and reception! Her sister Ashley helps with the weddings also and she is a doll too. While Tanya was photographing the ladies getting ready Ashley was at the other location shooting all the guys and they said she was awesome (and they were getting a little crazy ;) I highly recommend Tanya for all your photography needs!!!!!!! Oh....she also has a photo booth too and that was a huge hit at my wedding :) read more

Tanya did a newborn photography session for our daughter when she was 2 weeks old. Not only were the pictures creative, artistic and overall gorgeous in the end, but she went above and beyond what I even expected during the shoot. Tanya stuck with our fussy, crying baby for hours and braved countless explosions of bodily fluids all over her studio with a grace and professionalism that was unparalleled. I was beyond impressed. I am sold on Tanya for all future photography for our new family and would recommend her to anyone! read more

I just have to say Miss Tanya is one amazing person.

Tanya has great customer service, works around our schedules, offers great deals for prints (and has a super quick turn-around time for them), and is fun to work with! She's been our photographer twice and we have another session set up for this weekend. The first time we had Tanya, she took pics of my little girls (because portrait studio sessions were too formal and my kids didn't like to be there)... she made them feel comfortable and got FANTASTIC shots of them separately AND together (a rarity). I loved every picture in the proofs, and felt like she truly captured their personalities. My second experience with Tanya was a Boudoir session for my husband for Valentine's Day. He LOVED the photos. They were sexy, but tasteful. This weekend she'll be doing my girls' Spring photos. We'll continue to hire Tanya as our family photographer! read more

Can't say enough great things about Tanya's photography! She's awesome with the kids, I mean really gets them laughing and great smiles, which I can't do. The hardest part is picking the ones I frame because they are all perfect! read more
