About Taunya Tae I was born in Iowa. But grew up overseas, as a navy brat, in places like: Ethiopia, Iceland, England, Virginia, Spain and Turkey. I returned to Virginia in 1992, and haven't moved yet. Which if you are a 'brat' you know that staying somewhere for longer than 2 years is a miracle. I put myself through college while I worked full-time, and graduated with an Associates Fine Arts degree in 1999. I worked in the commercial printing business as a pre-press graphic artist for about 8 years and in 2001 I began Artzy-One Studio Creative Services. I eventually realized that my clients needed photography services. In 2005 a few of my photographs were published by Coastal Living Magazine (CLM) in the September Issue for the article "So You Want To Live In...". It wasn't until I attended a VPPA meeting in 2007, I discovered that I'd always been a photographer—It just took me 20 some years to figure it out! Today I am very interested in photographing high school seniors, families, portraiture, pets, and horses. I am an artist at heart, and I love to paint and draw, so that too has found it’s way into my services. Besides being interested in art and photography I love to watch ice hockey. I love to ride and play with my horse, Ruutu Black, it refreshes my passion for life and motivates me to spend time in front of the computer. I prefer MAC’s over Pc’s, and I love my iPod and Palm phone. I love having my studio at home, because it means I can spend time with the pets I love, even when I have a 14-hour day. My husband and I share our home with my studio, and a few furry family members. |

| On the left, that's me, Taunya, a "long long time ago," as a high school senior, I was borrowing Greg's SLR and probably taking pics for the yearbook. This was when I officially fell in love with taking photos. I didn't have an SLR until a few years after high school. (Note: that is my good friend, Tanja sitting next to me, on the right. We were the only two "Tonya's" in the whole school. Weird? or what? BTW: she was wearing my green overalls that day!) | ||||||||||||||||
