why choose me?!

Photography is personal. Very personal. We all love different things, value different aspects of life and we should. That’s what makes us who we are.

If you are here, it’s because you’ve “heard of me” or googled me, or just flat stumbled upon my site. But, if you are choosing me as your photographer, I hope you do so for the most genuine reasons.

Choose me because

you love my style.

You love my images and my work

and you love what you've seen.

You should feel happy and love the style you see if you are choosing a photographer. My style is relaxed. My “must haves” from your session are limited. I’m telling your story. I’ll give you guidance and encourage gentle interaction but it’s YOUR story. If you want someone to capture all those very posed (even Pinterest posed) images, I’m probably not your photographer. I want REAL images, genuine smiles. For me, asking your young children to stare at me and be authentically smiling is not real, nor realistic. If you love my style on here, on social media, then lets chat.

 

When choosing someone to photograph your family, make sure you thoroughly review their portfolio. Do you love their style. Do you see just ONE photo you like, or have you seen a full gallery and love them all. Do you like photo’s where everyone is looking and the camera? Do you like their vibe? If not, chances are they aren’t for you. It’s not a good plan expecting a cheaper photographer to copy the style from someone else. Go to the source. Find a photographer who shoots what you like, with the style you like. This might not be me, and that’s OKAY!! I promise. There is so much talent. Find someone who fits your family!

I’m going to bend the rules. We’ll stay up late, or get up super early ‘cause I dig that golden light. It’s worth it.

I’m pretty type A when it comes to planning for your session. I’ll help you know exactly what to expect, what to wear and how things will unfold. I like to be pretty crazy on turn-around and get things out within a few weeks of your session. I’ve been on the other side, and the process is as important as the result.

 

I’ve spent hours and hours developing a style that is mine. It fits me and I hope clients love me for it. But, I’m not here to regurgitate what other photographers produce, or give you a gallery straight off Pinterest. Nope, what you get will be a reflection of the work you’ve seen from ME! I’ve mentored with from the best photographers in the business and I’m always continuing education to perfect my style.

happy clients

"Tami is an absolute gem to work with! She is patient, professional and the sweetest! While photographing my husband and I, she picked up our 20 month old daughter and held her all while still shooting with her other hand. She made us feel comfortable from the beginning so we felt like ourselves the entire session. Would highly, highly recommend and we will be repeat clients for certain! Thanks Tami!!!"
