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!   

Dog Days of Summer

As a photographer I have a hard time looking through catalogs, namely children’s catalogs (pottery barn kids comes to mind) without wishing I could create those perfect picture taking scenarios.  You know, the ones where the kids are all at some super cute get-together, or in are in a gorgeous room styled just perfectly for the shoot.  Well, I am not above that!! ;)   My party planning disease and passion for supre cute pictures are a dangerous combination!! :)   So, the other day I threw together a little “splash party” for the neighborhood kids.  A few borrowed sprinklers, a custom made fabric pennant banner (yes, I am that pathetic!!) and a few popsicles and a party was born! ;)   Here’s to being a kid again and enjoying the dog days of summer…
