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!   

{Picture Perfect} Session 2: ONLY 6 SPOTS LEFT!!!

Hope you all had a WONDERFUL long weekend!!  Mine has kind of extended as we sit here in our jammies all day for the last couple of days with a sick kiddo.  :(   Poor little ones.  I can’t stand it when they get sick (other than Iget a TON done around the house! ;) ) it makes me so sad to see them just laying around all day.  Oh well, no fear…I’m sure we’ll be back to our rambunctious selves by tomorrow and then I’ll be wishing for some quiet!! :)

This last week session one of {Picture Perfect} wrapped up and I just have to say…it was TOO much fun!!!  I feel like I have new friends for life (hi guys!!!)  :)   The chats on Tuesday nights were super fun and informative….GREAT questions were asked…and the difference in the pictures from start to finish has been SO fun to see!!!

I wanted to share a couple just to give you an idea of what I’m talking about thanks to super up and coming photog Zandi for letting me use her shots!!! :)

A few things people are saying about the class:

“Tammy rocks!  I definitely learned a lot and things I haven’t learned in other photography classes.”

“Thanks so much for doing this class. I have taken a few at the local community college and came away feeling like I should just sell this camera and pay for a good photographer every few months. Now I am actually excited to take my camera places and I’m not afraid of it anymore!! THANK YOU!!”

“I just wanted to extend another thank you for helping me to understand my camera.  It felt so good to leave class knowing so much more about my camera then before I took the class.”

“You just really teach this very well…you are addicting..you are easy to learn from .”

“I just wanted to thank you for all the effort you put into making this such a great class.  It was really easy to follow..leaving not too many question to be asked each week on the MB.”

(blushing over here) ;)  

If you’ve been thinking about joining me and some other fun classmates for session 3 now’s the time to do it.  There are only 6 spots left!!  I like to keep the size smaller so that we can really get to know each other and I can give you more of the individualized help you want! :)   Class will begin March 8, 2010 and run for 6 weeks.  The cost is $200.  This class is structured so that it is VERY flexible.  The only time we have anything scheduled is Tuesday nights at 7PM PST for our weekly chat(I know, that’s right during American Idol for some of you!!! ;) ) but if you’re not available at that time I am on the board regularly to answer your questions that come up! :)   We will cover getting to know your camera, focusing techniques, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, white balance, metering, lighting and composition.  We WILL have you shooting manual and loving it by the end of this course! ;)

 Hope to see you in class!! :)

Have a great day!
