I know, I know… my blog is horribly neglected!  This fall season has been my busiest fall to date, and updating the blog has been at the bottom of the list (sadly!).  I am booked until mid-January at this point, only accepting newborns who will be worked in.  But, amidst the shooting hustle and bustle, I did want to share a fabulous recent family session.

Loved this family, and loved what we ended up with!

Thanks *m* family, it was wonderful!

Until next time,

Tammy

Still playing catch up and blogging sessions from last spring/summer.  Seems odd, especially since we have our first “cool” snap of the year going on    But, I have the best clients and I love to show them off, even if it’s a little delayed!

Meet the *t* family and their pretty little *a* – how cute are they?!

Thanks *t* family – as always, it was good to see you!

Until next time,

Tammy

It’s that time of year!  So, I thought I would throw a new ‘What to Wear’ guide out there for your upcoming holiday sessions    Inspiration starts here!

More shares coming soon!

Pretty little *a*, never disappoints… she is full of personality and expression!  Some of my favorites from a recent studio session:

Until next time,

A few quick shares of this sweet family… I love how the images are so light and fun, just like they are 

Thanks to the *b* family for being so much fun to work with 

Until next time,

Tammy

I loved meeting this sweet family, Mom and Dad were so trusting of my location choices (sometimes I navigate us to some strange places!) and the girls were styled to perfection.  If we wouldn’t have run out of light, I just could have kept shooting all night    Here are some of my many favorites (it was hard to narrow them down for a blog share!).

The girls in front of my favorite red door (I *heart* everything about this):

Shooting this gave me two small heart attacks (she was a little elevated!), but it was worth it for this reaction:

This one makes my heart soar… it’s everything I want to capture between a family:

Such pretty girls.  Poor Dad, he is in for it in about ten years!

And though we were aiming for a more “sweet” image of Mom with her two girls, I couldn’t love this one any more had we planned for it!  It totally makes me realize how as a Mom, sometimes you just smile and hang on!

Thanks *H* family, it was great meeting you 

Until next time,

Tammy

I love shooting in new places, it’s like Christmas morning to me.  You never know what you are going to find, but it’s bound to be good    This session was definitely like that for me, there was a new “present” every couple of hundred feet.  Gorgeous leaves, trees, an old VW bug (best. prop. ever.), an old, chippy, red building… photographers heaven, I tell you.

In fact, I should ask the *D* family if I can set up a tent there, hang out a shingle and make it my on location studio – think they would be down with that?  Ha!

Here are some of my favorites from the session (sans their adorable family shot) – I’m not showing that one in case they are using it for their Christmas cards!

This is a photographers favorite for sure.  I love everything about it, right down to his freckles and little boy smile:

Pretty girl, pretty location, pretty light = yummy!

Blue eyes?  Why yes, thank you:

See?!  See?!  Best. Prop. Ever.

And the two people responsible for these adorable kids?  Here they are (and yes, I made them do this, but isn’t it totally making you smile?) 

Thanks *D* family, hope you had as much fun as I did!

Until next time,

Tammy

In my quest to catch up on blogging, I am so happy to share this amazing family session.  It had everything:  adorable kids, a gorgeous Mom and Dad, the location and light were just perfect, and the colors Mom chose for everyone’s look were so vibrant and apropos for this time of year.  I loved what we ended up with, have a look at a few of my favorites:

This image is PROOF that a family session is not boring or painful 

Mom and her girl… I big-puffy-heart this one:

Another great family shot:

see, I told you they were gorgeous:

Yummy light and a great laugh:

and finally… how cute is his little face?!?

Thanks *M* family – you guys were awesome!

Until next time,

Tammy

It’s almost that time of year again!  Cooler weather, beautiful colors, great light and my favorite, lots of family sessions!

Family sessions are always popular in the fall and this year is shaping up to be one of the busiest yet.  I am already booking sessions into Thanksgiving weekend, so don’t dilly-dally!  Drop me an email or give me a call and we’ll get you on the schedule 

In keeping with the theme, I thought I would share more what-to-wear goodness.  This time specifically tailored for those upcoming fall family sessions.  Have a peek:

I have some sneak peeks upcoming, stay tuned!

Until next time,

Tammy

So, I’m back with a little more “What to Wear” inspiration for family sessions.  Again, these are not meant to be set in stone, or in an effort to take the place of your family looking like “your family”.  I simply like blogging these for ideas on color schemes, clothing combination possibilities, etc.

I really like this particular grouping for it’s classic, soft and vintage feel.  Something like this would be perfect for a session in the home/backyard, a field, a garden, or park.  The soft colors would even work well in the light and bright studio.  Have a look:

Again, use this to build or expand!  Mom, if you are more comfortable in a long skirt, work with that.  If this look isn’t Dad’s norm, use the color scheme for his style… maybe a loose button up instead of a sweater.  You get the idea 

Until next time,

Tammy
