Meet Tatiana Meyer
Photographer • Storyteller • Mama • Light-Chaser
I’m Tatiana—founder of Grace + Light Studios, a family-focused photography brand rooted in the Snoqualmie Valley. I’m a mama to two sweet little ones, a believer, and a photographer who is endlessly inspired by honest connection, children’s laughter, and the way light wraps around the people we love.
For me, photography isn’t just about pretty pictures. It’s about truth—capturing the real tenderness between a parent and child, the deep breath a mom takes during golden hour, the way families laugh, play, and simply belong together. I want you to feel seen, cherished, and taken care of from the moment you book to the moment your gallery arrives.
I specialize in seasonal mini sessions, offering families a simple and joyful experience that fits beautifully into real life. Whether we’re knee-deep in fall leaves, chasing the sun through a field of flowers, or creating Christmas magic with Santa, I’m here to create images that feel warm, timeless, and full of heart.
As a busy mama, I understand how precious and fleeting these seasons are. I know how meaningful it is to have photos that reflect the love and strength in your everyday moments. It’s my honor to preserve them for you.
If you’re looking for a photographer who brings ease, intentionality, and genuine connection to your session—I’d love to meet your family and create something beautiful together.
With love and light,
Tatiana
Meet Samantha Gustafson
Studio Assistant • Mama of 3 • Organizer of All Things Magic
If you’ve ever received a beautifully organized email, a seamless booking proposal, or a thoughtful response from our studio, there’s a good chance it came from Samantha.
Samantha Gustafson is the behind-the-scenes heartbeat of Grace + Light Studios. She handles client communication, booking proposals, scheduling logistics, and all the details that ensure every family feels supported and cared for long before their session ever begins.
A mama of three based in the Tri-Cities, Samantha works virtually and travels to the Snoqualmie Valley often—not only to assist with sessions when needed, but because it’s a place she and her family truly love. While she occasionally helps on shoots, her true gift is creating calm, clarity, and consistency so Tatiana can focus fully on serving families and creating meaningful images.
Samantha and Tatiana have been best friends for over a decade, dreaming for years about building something together. That friendship is the foundation of the warmth, trust, and intentionality you’ll feel in every interaction with our studio.
And as if she wasn’t already talented enough, Samantha is also a classically trained opera singer and actor—bringing creativity, presence, and heart into everything she does.
Client Testimonials
“We love Tati! She made us all look amazing at our small elopement ceremony despite the pouring rain and unflattering lighting at City Hall. She's great with kids and had our shy 3 year old smiling and laughing within minutes. I'm so glad we have beautiful photos of our special day.”
— Lauren G.“I had a great experience with Tatiana. She’s very positive and encouraging, which is great for us camera-shy folks. My professional photos and our family photos all turned out amazing! I will definitely utilize her again”
— Teresa E.“Tatiana did an amazing job with brand photos for my postpartum doula/lactation business. The photos are warm, professional, and perfectly reflect my business. The session was relaxed, communication was easy, and the final images exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend!”
