Custom Web Design for Businesses
“We recently had our website redesigned by (TEV Web Design & Photography) with amazing results. Tania is very personable as well as a very talented photographer and website designer. The whole team are highly recommended.” — Eileen Fortin, Red Horses Vineyard
It all started by taking a leap of faith.
Sometimes you get that inner nudge or gut feeling that it’s time to make a change and follow a dream. That was me back in 2008 when I realized that my mother’s career path, wasn’t meant to be mine. I was an admin assistant in the same school board office that she was a secretary in. I was an aspiring artist, she was an epic organizer. It was time to be brave and take action. Nobody was going to hand me my dream on a silver platter. It was up to me to make a change and do the work!
Taking Action & Pursuing A Dream
So, in 2008, I quit and attended the University of the Fraser Valley in the Web Design & Animation Program. I wanted to merge my love of art with the growing World Wide Web. I learned computer programing including languages HTML, CSS, and Javascript. I also ventured into graphic design and learned the ins and outs of the Adobe Creative Suite software including Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. I learned composition in photography and even how to produce a short movie.
The WordPress Game Changer
I freelanced and built my first websites from scratch using HTML, CSS, and Javascript. I even learned how to design a website in Photoshop, slice it up, export the pieces, and then assemble them online using code.
When I discovered WordPress, it was a game-changer! WordPress allowed me to build dynamic websites using a framework theme and customize them to clients’ specs using CSS. This made building websites much easier and faster.
How Photography Became Part of TEV WEB
When I first started designing websites for small businesses, many of my clients didn’t have high-quality images to showcase their high-quality products and services. Afterall, a good web design needs good photography too and so for that reason, I turned my love of photography into a business.
TEV WEB & Partnerships
In 2018, I formally started TEV Web Marketing which was focused on designing premium online marketing materials for businesses. Eventually, I changed the name to TEV Web Design & Photography to clarify my services. In the photography world, I am also known as Tania Veitch Branding & Event Photography.
Along the way, I developed partnerships with other industry professionals who have expertise in logo design, backend programming, and premium cloud hosting. This enables me to focus on front-end web design, photography, and project management. Together, my partners and I provide clients with a premium product designed to elevate their brand.
Branding & Event Photography
When I discovered Oliver, BC (aka Canada’s Wine Capital) in 2020, I started doing more tourism-related photography to highlight Oliver Tourism, non-profits, local businesses, and events.
Now, I do premium branding photography for wineries in the region and will cover events of all types including festivals, galas, concerts, corporate events, winemaker’s dinners, and weddings.
On the branding photography front, I collaborate with marketing teams, manage projects from props to models, and deliver a product that exceeds my clients’ expectations.
In event photography, my focus is to capture emotion and the essence of the event so my clients have marketing materials that will move people and inspire them to buy tickets next year.
Photography Training & Gear
I am always excited to grow and learn through photography clubs (ie: Victoria & Osoyoos), mentors, university courses, and photography workshops.
I own professional gear including two Nikon camera bodies; several lenses including a 24-70mm F2.8 for portraits and spaces and a 70-200mm F2.8 zoom for capturing those beautiful candid moments. I also sometimes use a speed light or strobe light with softbox when the situation requires it.
I edit and retouch my photos in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop.
