In the heart of downtown Bradenton, lies Tierney Lane—a quaint 1924 bungalow that serves as both an events venue and a creative sanctuary. But it's not just the charming setting that draws visitors; it's the artistry and passion of its owner, Rana, that truly sets Tierney Lane apart.

Rana's journey as a photographer began long before she opened the doors of Tierney Lane. Under the banner of Roohi Photography, Rana specializes in capturing life's most cherished moments—senior sessions brimming with youthful memories, family sessions overflowing with love and connection, and branding sessions that breathe life into entrepreneurial dreams. Her work is more than mere photographs; each image is a testament to her ability to capture the essence of each person she encounters.

With a portfolio that boasts features in prominent publications such as People, Cosmopolitan, and Today, Rana's talent has garnered recognition far beyond the confines of her quaint studio. Her photographs grace the pages of magazines, telling stories that resonate with audiences near and far. As a contributing photographer to our magazine, Rana plays an integral role in capturing our editorial features, bringing her unique vision and expertise to every shoot.

But beyond her professional accolades, Rana's true inspiration comes from the love and support of her family. In her own words, "My family is what keeps me going and always pushes me to be and do better." At home, Rana finds solace in the laughter of her husband, the boundless energy of her two adorable boys, and the antics of their vivacious schnoodle, Louie. Together, they create a vibrant tapestry of love and joy that infuses Rana's work with warmth and authenticity.

In her pursuit of artistic excellence, Rana finds inspiration in the beauty of the world around her. She is captivated by the interplay of light and shadow, constantly seeking out the perfect illumination for her photographs. Whether she's chasing the golden hour glow or reveling in the soft, diffused light of a cloudy day, Rana's obsession with light infuses her work with a luminous quality that sets it apart.

As Rana continues her journey as a photographer, she remains committed to capturing life's most precious moments with passion, creativity, and unwavering dedication. With each click of her camera shutter, she invites us to see the world through her eyes—a world filled with beauty, love, and boundless possibility.
