I'm all about personality. I have a lot if it (just ask me :😁:) and I am passionate about finding it in my clients -- and I NEVER get tired or bored. Every session is fun and unique and playful.

 

I love what I do.

 

For Photographers:

 

I get a lot of questions from new photographers -- hopefully this will answer some of the frequent ones:

 

I shoot Canon.

I shoot ALL MANUAL ALL THE TIME

I use a lot of off camera lighting.

I spent a year teaching myself how to edit in Photoshop. And no, there's no easy way to learn. Trial and error.

Find your own style. The only way to do this is to shoot a lot. often. every day.

Most importantly, have fun. This should be fun, right?

I am blessed to count her as one of my friends and inspired to count her as one of my artistic inspirations. she has a lust for life, people, and laughter and if you get a chance to meet her or hire her, shake your bootie as fast as you can get to her. do not walk, run!

Tammy rocks! I've recently discovered her work and love the vibrancy and creativity of her stream. She's incredibly talented, takes beautiful photographs, and then she goes one step furthur and turns the photographs into works of art. Thanks for all the inspiration, Tammy.

i am so impressed by tammy's creativity...especially with the series of musician portraits she's been working on lately. without fail she has managed to do something unique and original and personality capturing with each musician she's photographed. they are exquisite and inspirational.
