June 13, 2013 by Tanya Boggs Leave a Comment

“Keep Your Money Where Your Heart Is”, is one of the many slogans of our great Lowcountry Local First organization. LLF is dedicated to cultivating local prosperity. Here at Tanya Boggs Photography we are proud members of LLF and hosted the June Member Mixer at our studio in downtown Charleston.

Thanks to everyone who came out to play and mingle. And thanks to Gaulart & Maliclet, also known as Fast & French or G&M, for providing a beautiful and yummy spread!

And we couldn’t miss the opportunity to set up a photo booth to capture some of the fun! Take a look…

Valentine’s Day Kissing Booth {Photobooth, Charleston, SC}

February has flown by but I wanted to share the LOVE from Tanya Boggs Photography. Since March is here with a bit of a cold snap, I thought I’d help warm you up with the glow of love and a Valentine’s Kissing Booth.

We had SO MUCH FUN! Thanks to everyone who stopped by and played with us. And for those that missed out, we hope you’ll join us next year.

We had kids of ALL ages come by. And Buddy, the sweetest dog, paid us a visit as well. And of course, there was lots of kissing. Below are some sample images from the booth.

Enjoy. And stay warm!

Cheers,
Tanya

Happy 2013 from Tanya Boggs Photography: Our Year in Review!

January 8, 2013 by Tanya Boggs Leave a Comment

Ready or not, 2013 has arrived! And we are so excited about some of the things we have planned this year.

But first we thought it would be fun to review the highlights of 2012, show you some of our favorite families, and share some of our successes.

We started last year by moving into a studio downtown. Our apartment was BUSTING at the seams before that. January also began with a new logo and a new website for our growing business. And those decisions certainly set us up on the right path for 2012!

In February, we were thrilled to photograph the red carpet entry at the Leukemia Society’s Annual Ball. We also set up a photo booth inside the event. The combination of the music and dancing h ad everyone a little loose and willing to pose for the fun!

Patrick and I were thrilled to participate in a national fundraiser for Operation Smile, called Celebration of Smiles. And thanks to some of you, we raised over $700 and saved 3 smiles! We’ll be doing that again this year, so look for it in April.

Dining with Friends

We were also honored to be the photographer for Dining with Friends, Charleston, an annual local fundraiser for Lowcountry AIDS services.

Tanya Boggs Photography did some work on a couple of features in Mt. Pleasant Magazine.

Riverside Designers

We worked with Jennifer Ferrell of Riverside Designers on several projects. One of which will be published in the upcoming winter issue of Charleston Home + Design. Jennifer designs beautiful spaces that make our job really easy! And when we bought our house this past year, Jennifer was one of the first people we called!

In the studio with Helene

A personal highlight for me this year, was getting a brief moment to work with Helene Dujardin in the studio here at TBP. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Helene during a very exciting time in her life as she transitioned from a food photographer and blogger extraordinaire to the Senior Photographer at Oxmoor House. And I was lucky enough to spend a few hours playing with our food and learning from one of the best in the business.

And finally, we spent 2012 photographing FAMILIES! And we photographed some really fantastic families that we adore! Below are some of our favorites:

Don’t Play with your Food! {Photography, Charleston, SC}

Isn’t that what your mother used to say? Well around here, we’ve decided NOT to listen!

Recently I have been all fired up and inspired to play around with food photography. I think no matter what you’re interests or specialties, it’s always good to stretch your boundaries and learn new skills.

So I was lucky enough to spend a few hours playing in the studio with Helene Dujardin. She is a well-known food photographer and writes a fantastic blog called Tartelette. She also wrote a book Plate to Pixel: Digital Food Photography & Styling. While she was here she gave me a few quick tips and we were off and running. It was fantastic to spend time in the studio shooting with another photographer! That doesn’t happen often enough.

Just a couple of hours with Helene and I was HOOKED! And I’ve been dreaming up new things to photograph ever since. In fact, I’ve already been back in the studio playing with my food… again.

So far one of my favorite things about photographing food is that I always have a willing model. When I feel inspired, I can get to work!

Take a look below at some of the fun I’ve been having! What do you think? Does it make you want to play with your food too?

Dining with Friends 2012, Lowcountry AIDS Services

July 10, 2012 by Tanya Boggs Leave a Comment

On Saturday, May 5th, 2012, I had the pleasure of photographing the 20th anniversary of Dining with Friends here in Charleston, SC. This is a huge fundraiser for Lowcountry AIDS Services (LAS) and has been going strong since I lived here a lifetime ago.

Individuals host parties and open their homes to friends for dinner in an effort to raise money and awareness for those living with HIV/AIDS in the Tri-County area. To end the evening there is a Dining with Friends Finale at the Charleston Maritime Center where party hosts turn in their funds and together with their guests enjoy a champagne and dessert reception from Charleston’s finest restaurants along with live music and dancing!

I was so excited to get re-acquainted with this terrific event and even more thrilled to be asked to be the event photographer. Take a look at all the fun and yummy goodies! Don’t you just wish you were there?

Please consider hosting a party and participating next year. I know I will!
