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!

You know it’s going to be a GREAT day!!

I contacted Scrumptulicious a few weeks ago about taking part in the “buy this” series once I read her story and saw a few special things that they have to offer.  Not only are they selling cookies for a cause, but they make totally awesome gluten free, dairy free cookies as well.  All of their cookie options are available in both regular and gluten free/dairy free.   I know SO many people that are affected by celiac disease I thought this was a super cool option.  I love to see moms out there trying to be creative and make a difference!!

I received the cookie sampler and let me tell you…YUM!!!  I couldn’t believe how many different amazing varieties there were.

Each came carefully wrapped, in perfect condition.  And, the forever crafter in me absolutely LOVED the personalized touch of a beautiful tag and handwritten note attatched telling you which scrumptulicious flavor you were about to indulge in.  Here’s a little peek at what I sampled…

Meyer Lemon Shortbread– thin star shaped wafer like shortbread cookie with lucious lemon flavor

Mandarin Orange Shortbread–Small, thick shortbread rounds with a hint of orange, glistening with sugar crystals

Cherrylicious–Cherries, Chocolate and Nuts…need I say more??

Vanilla Shortbread– Melt in you mouth buttery vanilla goodness

Chocolate Shortbread– the same buttery melit n your mouth cookie…only in CHOCOLATE!!!

Chocolate Chip– Everybody’s favorite cookie Rich, Classic, Delicious!

and my personal favorite…

Bittersweet Shortbread– Absolutely FABULOUS!!  and I’m not even a bittersweet chocolate kind of girl!  Something about that chocolate combined with the shortbread and dusted in powdered sugar…heaven.

There they are stacked right there in the middle…

they don’t look like that anymore! ;)

The other thing I love about these is that they are totally reasonable!  I always want to send cookies or some fun treat to people as a thank you and then I go to check out at the chain stores and realize it’s going to cost me $45 to send a dozen cookies to someone.  No thanks!! :)   These make the perfect budget friendly, personal gift.
