Tammy Mitchell Photography bio picture

Thanks for stopping by!

I love to celebrate beautiful things!   My interests include anything crafty, colorful and fun!  I love to travel, cook, craft, design, create, entertain, decorate, sew..and the list goes on.  Stunning images inspire me and I hope I can share a few things here that will inspire you too!

I have always loved photographs.  My grandma has always taken a million pictures and it inspired me from a young age.  With my first 110 camera I captured fun memories of family vacations and everyday activities.  Since having kids my focus has turned to the art of the portrait.  In my eyes the "perfect" portrait doesn't mean a creaseless shirt and stiff poses, but instead a twinkle in the eye and a glimpse into the soul. 

My specialty is children.  I love to capture them in their natural element.  I want to capture who your child is at this moment.  The little noses, funny smiles and dirt covered faces that make them the person that they are right now. 

My approach is VERY relaxed...very "photo journalistic."  I'm not a girl that likes to pose.  My idea of a perfect shoot is to meet you somewhere fun and let your kids play and be themselves while I fade into the background.  I believe it's those moments that you truly want to remember.   Anyone can take a picture.  I want to capture a moment and tell a story.  

I'd LOVE to come play with your little ones.  Think of a place where they are happiest.  Disneyland? Chuck E Cheese?  Krispy Kreme?  Think outside the box.  Let's get together and let them explore, get dirty and have some fun!  Those WILL be your cherished memories!

The Greats and a fall party

We’ve been SO lucky this last couple of weeks and have had the chance to see my grandparents a few times.  We visited them in Arizona a few weeks ago and then they got in the car and followed us back to So Cal.  I love hanging out with them and so do the kids! ...

Campfire

Who knew that $89 at Home Depot would be money SO well spent.  These warm summer nights have suddenly become a lot more exciting…even in our sorry excuse for a backyard.   I’m seeing many nights sitting on the back porch in my future….

Playing with my ISO here..I think the grain is kinda cool…

Run, Don’t Walk

to your nearest Homegoods if you are a lover of antiques like I am.   Yes, I did say antiques and I mean real ones…like from France.  I was there, looking at a gorgeous piece, and my eye caught something burried back behind a bunch of other stuff…I dug it out and noticed the...
