 fine art SCHOOL PORTRAITS in RICHMOND, VA & beyond

 

I strive to provide an exceptional experience to all families attending the schools who have chosen me to photograph their students. As opposed to large, corporate photography services, I only take on a few, select schools so that I can provide outstanding customer service and exquisite images. 

My goal is to capture the spirit of the children by never forcing a smile or using awkward poses. I just let the child be authentic. The results are genuine and timeless portraits that are far from the conventional photos we have become accustomed to. 

I create a no-stress and fun experience for your children and take pride in providing an environment where the kids can relax and be themselves, naturally.

PRAISE for

TANIA del CARMEN


Working with Tania and Julian was a pleasure from beginning to end. They created an outdoor photo studio to photograph our preschool and camp children. Watching them encourage even the shyest child to have their picture taken was sheer magic. I (and the parents) love that they are able to photograph the actual spirit of their child. Superhero poses, jumping contests, and ballerina twirls helped each student to show off their true personality. They are very easy to work with and professional. If you are looking to break away from the traditional, stock ‘school photo’ pose, you could not ask for a better photographer than Tania del Carmen! We can’t wait for them to come back.

— Anna l, Parent
I just wanted to send you a quick note to express my gratitude for these beautiful photos. I feel like I’ve been given the most wonderful gift!!! My husband and I are both photographers and I have to say sometimes it’s really hard to pick up the camera and capture professional photos on your days off. These are not the school photos of the past. I’m just blown away. You are so talented! I look forward to purchasing these and will sing your praises. I hope to work together again (We need family photos)! I hope you enjoy your holidays.
— Heather & Jonathan M, Parents
Their attention to detail and flexibility made the entire process seamless for our staff. Highly recommended!
— Jennifer F, School Administrator
It is a pleasure and delight to work with Tania and Julian! They are true professionals and have raised school photos to a whole new level! Tania has a keen eye for finding the authentic personality of each child and makes each one shine. The photographs are thoughtfully and joyfully taken and represent the uniqueness of each child. The children are treated with great respect throughout the process. Our teachers were very impressed with the whole process and greatly appreciated Tania and Julian’s gentle, joyful manner. It was amazing to see how they were able to make each child feel comfortable and relaxed, allowing their true beauty to show through each photograph. Our parents were ecstatic about the photos and were very pleased with what they received. From start to finish, Tania and Julian were very organized, on time, and thorough. They are flexible and patient, and it was a pleasure to work with them. We can’t wait to have them represent our children again! I highly recommend Tania! Any school or parent will be delightfully surprised and happy with their experience!
