Lover of open space and rugged mountain tops.

Brand and Product photographer with a soft spot for Heart-centered small businesses and wildly organic humans.

As a photographer at Tanja Kopper Photography, I find immense joy in small productions yielding remarkable results and in collaborating with individuals who share a deep love for art and nature. However, above all else, my identity is rooted in motherhood. I am a devoted mother to my children and of course my animals.

The experience of single motherhood in a foreign country has underscored the significance of family in my life. It fuels my desire to embark on adventures and explore the world with my boys. Despite the challenges faced over the past 12 years, even amidst the perpetual sunshine of California, I have learned to seek out beauty and appreciate the subtle glimmers of light dancing through the trees.

I absolutely resonate with your desire for a blend of adventure and calm in creating beautiful images. As a Gemini myself, I understand the duality that comes with craving both the wild and the serene. Finding the balance between capturing the untamed beauty of the outdoors and the structured elegance of a studio setting is where true magic happens.

If you are an adventurous individual or a unique business looking to collaborate on creating striking images in the wilderness, count me in. I thrive on the energy of the wild, just as much as I appreciate the stillness of working in a studio with clean lines and negative space.
