Tanja Pleis

International Women Portrait Photographer

I'm Tanja, a portrait and branding photographer with a Chicago heart and a German soul. As a wife, mom, and passionate advocate for women, I believe that every woman deserves to see and own her unique strength and beauty - this believe drives everything I do.

Women's portraiture is my passion. I help women shed self-doubt and embrace their authentic selves – revealing the woman who is worthy of love, respect, and self-belief.

While my move to Chicago from Hamburg, Germany in 2012 was a challenging step, it was also a catalyst to follow my passion in photography after a career in Human Resources.
