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: It’s the most wonderful time of the year…

Monday, January 11, 2010 Posted in Crafting, How To's/Tutorials, Kids, Make This, Scrapbooking, The Details, Uncategorized

at least for scrapbooker’s that’s true! ;)   In just  a few short days the largest craft and hobby trade show in the country will begin.  I am lucky because CHA is right in my hometown.  In just a few short minutes on the freeway I can be standing in a convention center full of the newest, hottest craft and hobby products you will soon see coming to your local Michaels, JoAnns, and scrapbook store.   It is a little piece of heaven on earth if you ask me! ;)

To make things even better I have the opportunity to work as a designer for one of the talented designers in the industry.  I get to see, and touch and create and love this stuff even before it hits the show!!   I have been a busy bee creating the days away for the weekend…and I still am.  But for now I can show you a peek of some of the stuff I am working on.  Keep it tuned here if you’re a scrapbooker for therest of the week and I’ll spill some more suprise product releases from Teresa Collins Designs.

First is a new little PINK line that will be revealed later… ;)   all I can tell you is that the awesome leopard paper and tag are from this new line! ;)

Ash Leopard

If you want to re-create this look it’s simple.  Cut your background cardstock to 8.5x11and use your corner rounder to round the corners.  Cut your piece of leopard print paper to 7.5×10 and round the corners. 

Mat your 2 4×6 photos with 4.5×6.5 mats and round all corners.

cut the strip of one sheet of bazzill cardstock with an edge of and mount behind the left hand side of your page leaving the edges exposed.

Add your photos and embellishments as shown on the picture.  and Wa-la!  A layout in 30 minutes or less! :)

Stay tuned for more sneak peeks. 

Have a great day!
