Lunu Photography at a glance

Customers frequently praise the photographer for patience, posing direction, and creating a relaxed atmosphere during family, wedding, and holiday sessions. Positive reviews highlight reasonable pricing, quick turnarounds for digital files, and the inclusion of film photography. However, lower-rated reviews indicate a pattern of unresponsiveness to post-session inquiries, specifically regarding delays in delivering promised prints or film photos.

Tanya is an amazing photographer possesses a rare talent for capturing the essence of every moment. Her skills not just in technical expertise but in her ability to tell stories through the photographs. A “Mommy and Me" photo session captures love between a mother and a child in stunning details. We enjoyed working with Tanya a lot.

We did a mini Christmas photo session with Tanya. It took awhile to get our proofs back. Once we decided on the images we wanted, Tanya did get them back fairly quickly. Our package included prints. However, we have not received any of the prints. We have emailed Tanya several times and she has not responded to any of our emails in over two months.

Tatyana was amazing! She has taken photos of my family before, but this session was special because it was gifted to my husband and me for our 20th wedding anniversary. Tatyana made the session feel relaxed and fun, with no rushing or chaos. She gave wonderful ideas, and came prepared with props if needed. The…

Tatyana with Lunu Photography is seriously THE most talented Photographer I've ever met! She knows how to get the most perfect shots and is able to direct you exactly how to pose and where to look to make sure everything looks flawless! She is amazing with my toddler too, since he was 2 years old she has been Photographing our family and getting the best smiles from him! She will literally put on a 4 act play in order to get my toddler to smile at the camera, she's truly amazing!!! I don't know how she is able to get such perfect photos in such a short amount of time, I swear it's magic! She is so kind and fun to be around I look forward to seeing her every time we need photos! She's the best!!! I know so many Photographers in the area because I used to make photo props and I am familiar with all of their work, but Lunu Photography is my absolute favorite to work with, I can trust her to take the most timeless, classic, and magical photos! I wouldn't trust anyone else to capture our families precious memories! I highly recommend using Tatyana as your Photographer for EVERY occasion! Here are just a few screenshots of the photos she has taken for us over the years, I have so many more that I love!!!! I'm just so thankful I found her!!! Hire this amazing girl for your next event or family photoshoot!!!! It will be the best decision ever!!! I can't recommend her enough!!!

She went above and beyond capturing the day for very reasonable pricing and provided us cherished memories we can look back on. I love her shooting style and she made it extremely fun for our kids. I also love that she had a plan and didn’t waste a bunch of time thinking about what to do. Her work is very impressive and she is a joy!

Tanya was contacted to do our wedding through a third party company. She offered all on her own to take film photos on the wedding day in addition to the digital photos. She was great until she stopped responding to any messages after the day of the wedding. We received the digital photos and never received the film photos. We tried reaching out to Tanya via email, phone, Facebook and even through the third party company and she never replied to anyone regarding delivering the film photos that she offered all on her own to take for us. Would not recommend a photographer who ghosts you completely as soon as the payments are completed. Unbelievable.

Tanya from Lunu Photography was great. She went over and above to entertain and try to capture my stoic 2 years attention. She was also flexible enough to let us bring our dog, which made our session take a bit longer and added an additional level of chaos, but she remained kind, calm, and bubbly. Which I greatly appreciated!
