Original Kids by Tanya Alexis photographs your children being themselves.  I believe that children are the perfect blend of innocence and wisdom.  Every time I meet with a client's children, I am honored to be reminded of this.  Their curiosity inspires me and pushes my creativity and my photography to new heights. I photograph them at home, at play, at ease, at peace, and occasionally mid-scream. I have only one rule, no one may utter the words "say cheese."

I focus on artistic & journalistic style photography.  If asked, I will be happy to do a few posed or staged pictures, but for the most part I prefer to give the child full reign.  If they love to dance, then by all means, I will photograph them dancing.  If they love to play sports, let's go outside and throw a ball around. 

What started out as a hobby, over a decade ago, now takes up all of my time.  I am first and foremost an artist, and second a photographer.

Ultimately, my goal for every session is to create photographs that reflect your child's originality, because...

when it comes down to it, we are "you know.....for kids!"
