Tanya Eivin, founder of Tanya Eivin Photography, has transformed her background in the entertainment industry into a thriving boutique photography studio with locations in Austin, Texas, and Long Island, New York. Her journey began as a mother navigating the competitive world of New York entertainment with her actor daughter, gaining firsthand insight into the importance of compelling headshots.
Eivin's years working with agents, casting directors, and photographers gave her a unique perspective on capturing authentic images. After relocating to Austin, she founded her studio with the goal of helping actors gain a competitive edge through headshots that truly represent them. 'I saw firsthand how crucial a great headshot is in the entertainment industry,' Eivin said. 'It's more than just a picture; it's a business card, a first impression, and a key to opening doors.'
The studio's services have expanded beyond actor headshots to include corporate headshots, branding photography, fine art portraits, and boudoir sessions. Central to Eivin's philosophy is the belief that everyone deserves a powerful portrait. Her approach, encapsulated in the motto 'YOUR STORY. YOUR LEGACY,' focuses on creating a comfortable, empowering experience that helps clients rediscover self-esteem and celebrate their unique stories.
Signature offerings include the HER STORY™: AGELESS BEAUTY and HEY STRANGER™ portrait experiences. HER STORY™ celebrates women's resilience, strength, and spirit, while HEY STRANGER™ guides clients in reconnecting with their vibrant core. These experiences reflect Eivin's commitment to capturing more than just physical appearance.
Eivin's transition from stage mom to studio owner underscores the value of industry knowledge in building a successful photography business. For more about her journey and philosophy, visit the About page. To book a session, see the Contact page.
