Kind Words from Kind Souls

"Talya has this insane ability to notice the smallest details and turn them into something truly beautiful. She is not merely capturing images, but the essence of a soul, a moment.

Her way of working with light, movement, and the surroundings felt effortless, but you could tell it was so intentional.

She gave just enough direction to make everything flow naturally, and I felt like I could completely trust her vision. Every part of the process felt like a creative collaboration.

And the photos? Breathtaking!! Each one reveals something so real and full of life. If you’re looking for someone who can genuinely reflect your essence and make the whole process unforgettable, Talya is your girl."

love letters

"Talya Herring is a dream to work with! She has a talent for finding the perfect angles and lighting, and I was blown away by how easy she made everything feel. 

Talya's editing skills are also amazing and she goes above and beyond to make sure the final photos match your vision. She spends so much time fine-tuning every detail to ensure they're exactly how you want them. I was amazed at how much thought and care she put into each image- absolutely prefect.
 
If you want a photographer who truly listens, is wildly non-judgmental, understands your style, and delivers incredible results, Talya is your person."

-Ivy

  • How do I schedule a session?
    Beep me if you want to reach me. Seriously, by whatsapp at 054.205.6365 or email talyaherringphotography@gmail.com are the easiest. Once we check availability, we will have a consultation call to discuss your vision, location, outfit options. If you want to read some of my thoughts about the prep, check out my blog post here. I will follow up with an email with all the neeeded information, a contract and a questionaire so I can know ages and names.
  • Where do you photograph?
    I have lots of locations in the Tel Aviv area, but I am happy to travel for an extra charge.
  • How long does it take to recieve photos?
    I pride myself on my fast turnaround and will send out photos within two weeks, with some sneak peaks along the way just to tease you
  • Can you send all the photos you shoot?
    I spend hours in post production after our photoshoot. This includes culling out duplicate images, test shots, shots with bad expressions and other pictures that don't feel right. I will take lots of photos to make sure I have the perfect focus and I don’t expect you to have the expertise or the time to zoom into each image to select the one with the sharpest focus... so don't worry I spend hours doing that on my end, making sure you get to enjoy the best of the best. As you can tell, my photography style celebrates candid laughs and emotional connection and that means, sometimes some of those facial expressions can be a tad unflattering. Trust me, I'm protecting everyone involved.
  • What's your photography style?
    I've always been documenting with photos since I can remember. I took the hobby up a notch three years ago when I took a photography course and delved deeper into the world of professional photography. I'm always on the lookout for sharp lines, bright light, balanced compositions and most imporantly - personality. Images should be expressive. I'm here to capture photography that captivates your story in a way that feels unique to you.
  • When should I schedule my session?
    I actually wrote a blog post about that! Check it out here
  • What if my family is terrible at taking photos?
    When I photograph a family, I crave real smiles. I try to create a space, allowing them to express their love, their connection. Nothing overtly dramatic like a lifetime movie, and nothing boring. Just the way you are. The way you want to show your love for each other and the place you’re in right now. I don't expect everyone to be on their best behavior, but I have some tricks up my sleeve to get those shots. For more thoughts on posing and prep before your photoshoot, check out my post here.
"Working with Talya was an incredible experience—she was so amazing and supportive throughout the entire process. She perfectly captured all the emotions, love, and even the nerves we were feeling on our special day.
 
The photos are beyond anything I could have imagined. I can't get over how beautifully they captured our fun and loving spirits.
 
I cannot thank Talya enough for these memories that we’ll treasure forever!"
