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!   

everyday life: how does this happen???

so often i find myself wishing that a day will pass quickly, or a week, or on a tuesday that a weekend will hurry up and arrive. :)   i forget that while i am being so impatient and wishing for days and years to fly by so i can get on with something else that i am excited for that those precious and fleeting moments with my babies being babies are passing me by too.

it seems like just yesterday that i was making preparations for a sweet little girl to arrive in our home and then i blinked and this happened…

somehow she went from a newborn to a sweet, sassy, full of personality, hillarious little almost 4 year old. 

we went to run some quick errands today and i was reminded how precious every moment is. 

-her wanting to hold my hand so “we can be a family that loves each other” is what she said. 

-her referring to me as mommy and momma and gazing up at me like she is just the happiest she has ever been.

-her talking my ear off in the dressing room while i  listened to all the other women in their rooms snickering at how funny it was

-the adoring glances that she gets everywhere we go and is completely unaware of

it won’t be long before i don’t have a little cutie that WANTS to hold my hand anymore and thinks that i am the bees knees.  until then i am going to stop trying to speed up time and freeze it for awhile so i can soak up every minute!
