i have to laugh. i LOVE the first in july. at least that’s how it’s known in our house thanks to our sweet little ash. fourth of july is first in july. and it’s one of her favorite holidays. as a matter of fact, that is how any patriotic item is known… it is “in july.” if she sees a flag it’s “look mom…there’s an in july flag.” anything red, white and blue “mom, did you see that in july shirt??” it’s just too cute, i know i should correct her, but i’ll let it live on a little longer.
my days of all this four year old cuteness around the house are numbered!
we had the best first in july this year. it was a wonderful weekend filled with great friends, too much food, beaches, games, late nights, hot dog and marshmellow roasting, lots of red white and blue, fireworks, freezing waterparks, finishing eachother’s sentences
(lol, guys!) and america’s favorite pasttime. it was the perfect way to start the month! and we’re lucky because we get to end it the same way!! hurry back allemans! we are anxiously counting the days until you return!!!




i got the bright idea to make all the kids matching shirts at about 10pm friday night. after a trip to walmart and target to get everyone shirts and supplies, cute and crafty skye arrived to help me finish…thank goodness, otherwise it would have meant going to bed at 4am instead of 2am!!
but i do have to say…they turned out so cute!!! thanks to the fun idea from “i am momma, hear me roar” (click for the tutorial) i changed it up a bit for the shirts we were using and think they turned out so fun! and i can’t for the life of me find where i saw the little girls shirts, but it was simply red jersey fabric (an old t-shirt) ruffled up and stitched on to a white t-shirt with a blue square of fabric. so fun! (something’s up with the colors in these and photoshop is being wierd. i’m too lazy to figure it out so they are being posted as is.
)

have a great day!

One of my favorite places to shoot…coming soon…

lol! I always have to laugh when I’m talking about shooting my kids, or other people’s. It just sounds so funny!! I have been agonizing over this decision for quite some time now and I have just decided that right now, this is the best decision for our family. As many of you know, I am tackling homeschooling my 3rd grader this coming year. I am VERY excited about it, but also very worried about the time committment required to do a knock-out job. Combine that with being a mom, CEO of the house, cleaning lady, taxi driver, personal chef, running a couple of growing businesses and a husband with a schedule that is completely wild and unpredictable and life is crazy!!
I started in this business shooting kids and it’s really what I love to do…where my heart is….so I am returning to my roots.
I am excited about the possibilites of refocusing just on the little ones in our lives. I love to create a scene and let them play. My philosophy and style are very photojournalistic, provide a fun environment and let them be.
As a result of these changes I will be making a few changes to pricing and packages too, so if you are planning on scheduling a shoot, please make sure to check those out.
Pricing and Session Info
Throughout the month of August I will be running a special for children’s shoots…$75 for the sitting fee. Sitting fee includes 1 8×10. Spots will go quickly, so email me at tammy@tammymitchellphotography.com if you are interested.
Along with regular shoots I will be offering a few “themed” mini shoots throughout the year where I will set up a great scene and the kids will be invited to come and play. I am SUPER excited about these!!! It will allow me to combine my love of design and party planning with my love of photography!! Stay tuned for details of the first theme shoot coming in Sept. It will be a back to school shoot…details and session information/sign-ups coming soon!!
Here’s a little taste of what’s to come. A “fake birthday” I had the pleasure of creating for a client last week…watch for these shots in your local craft store and even on HSN and QVC!!








have a great day!
