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!   

Make This: Interior Design Trash to Treasure and a winner

Sorry for the lack of posting yesterday.  A massive migraine kept me away from the computer almost all day since I couldn’t see. ;)   But I’m back in action today with a couple of fun ways to turn vintage finds into fun, useful, beautiful pieces. 

I LOVE to go antique shopping.  My head is always spinning when I walk through the aisles and see all the treasures.  I’m always trying to find the perfect piece.  I’m always drawn to old windows and doors and kitchen items. (I have a major addiction to buying kitchen stuff…new or old, probably stems from my love of entertaining) ;)   I found these cute ideas and thought I’d share…not only are they cute, but they are SUPER easy!

sorry…the pictures aren’t the best…that’s the only problem with finding them online! :0 

The first is an old window used as a frame.  I love the addition of a few rub-ons to add words to the pictures.   Here’s a better idea of what it looks like up in a room…

so cute!

the second is a vintage serving tray repurposed into a magnetic memo board.  Simply add a picture hanger on the back, and hang it on your wall.  I prefer it with these silver trays, but the flower one is cute too…

Isn’t that a fun way to use some of your antique treasures? 

Here’s a tutorial for you to make it even easier if you want to make the memo board.  Wouldn’t it be fun to make one of these for Christmas for the antique lover in your life??

And now for the winner of the adorable Planet Pudge Shirt…drumroll please…

Shanda!!

Congrats!!  Send me you contact info so I can get Planet Pudge to send one your way! :)
