Tanya Eivin, founder of Tanya Eivin Photography, has transformed her background as a stage mom in New York's entertainment industry into a thriving boutique photography studio with locations in Austin, Texas, and Long Island, New York. Her journey illustrates how insider knowledge of the competitive world of actors and headshots can be leveraged to create a business that serves a broader clientele.
Eivin's experience working with agents, casting directors, and headshot photographers gave her a unique perspective on what makes a compelling image. After relocating to Austin, she founded her studio with the initial goal of helping actors gain a competitive edge through headshots that authentically 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 has since expanded its services to include corporate headshots, branding photography, fine art portraits, and boudoir sessions. Eivin's philosophy, 'YOUR STORY. YOUR LEGACY,' underpins every photoshoot, aiming to create a comfortable and empowering experience that helps clients rediscover self-esteem and celebrate their unique stories.
Among the studio's signature offerings are the HER STORY™: AGELESS BEAUTY and HEY STRANGER™ portrait experiences. HER STORY™ celebrates women by reflecting their resilience, strength, and unique spirit, while HEY STRANGER™ is a journey of rediscovery, helping clients reconnect with their vibrant core.
Eivin's journey from stage mom to photography studio owner underscores the importance of understanding an industry's nuances and translating that expertise into a service that resonates with a wider audience.
