The mission of Little Dove Photography is to capture life’s joy; each chapter in life, the special moments, the places and people.

We believe in keeping things simple and as natural as possible - to let our client’s true personalities shine through. We want our photo sessions to be relaxed and as comfortable as possible so that the end result is a priceless memory to treasure forever.

Meet Tanja.

Tanja loves being able to create lasting memories for you and your family, to be able to give you those beautiful forever keepsakes. For her, the best images are not only the perfectly posed shots but the spontaneous ones, where the kids are cracking up at her mum-jokes, your youngest gives you the biggest cuddle or when you get that first look from your groom as you walk down the aisle, those are the precious moments that you’ll want to keep forever.

Tanja first studied photography in Amsterdam in 2002, then spent another two years in Wellington studying photography at Massey.

During that time she started creating images for magazines of food, cafe’s, restaurants, interiors as well as documenting weddings, portraiture and pre-school portraits with the wonderful people at Inspire Photography. She’s now based in sunny Snells Beach, North Auckland with her beautiful family.

We know having your photo taken can feel a little scary sometimes, so we’ll just hang out and guide you to the nice light and a pretty backdrop where you can have fun and enjoy the moment.

We’re always happy to talk about any special photo ideas or requirements you may have, so please flick us an email or a message and we’ll catch up over a coconut latte.
