Thanks Trev for being so easy going and open to whatever...It's a good thing we were running out of light, I could have gone for hours!! Check out a few of my favs from his session!!

::Gracie::

2010-11-24T08:29:00.001-08:00

I just love this little lady and her family! Gracie is now 2 years old...she's sooo photogenic and not to mention gorgeous...I love it! She's gonna be a heartbreaker for sure!! They have honestly been with me from the beginning of my picture taking adventure/part-time career...I'm just sooo thankful that they kept coming back to me...Gracie is such a beautiful child inside and out! Looking back 2 years ago, I can see growth even in my photography...I wouldn't have been able to do it without my clients that keep me going, and keep me wanting to get better and better! I thank each and everyone of you from the bottom of my heart and only hope to continue meeting clients as lovely as the G family!! Thanks M & C for all of your support! Love you and I will miss you when I move to San Diego...I know, that is a whole new post in itself...haha! Enjoy a few of my favs from her session...

:: The K Family ::

2010-11-16T10:50:00.000-08:00

I just love this spot for photos!! I've used it sooo many times and there is soooo much to work with! Check out the K family and see how they rocked their session! These two boys are just toooo adorable! They had me laughing the whole session! I want to hang a few of them in my living room...haha! Thanks for a fun session rompin' around the farm! Check out a few of my absolute favs...

::As They Await His Arrival...::

2010-11-11T09:32:00.000-08:00

I recently spent the evening with a family that I've photographed in the past, you may remember them from an awesome Trash the Dress session! J is actually 39 weeks here...doesn't she just look stunning! They did welcome little Cruz into the world pretty close to his due date...just one day before! Here are a few of my favorite pics from their squeeze in session!

::Baby Jae::

2010-10-27T12:16:00.000-07:00

If you work with me at Banner, some of you may remember taking care of this precious little girl Jae. For those of you who don't know, my main job is being a respiratory therapist. Along with being a photographer, I LOVE being an RT...thankfully, I honestly have the best of all worlds.! I witness some of the most amazing things in life from tiny babies who struggle to take their first breath to the elderly who are struggling to keep their last...I live by the saying..."Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away"! Jae was a 32 week preemie born into the NICU that I work at...I took care of that little peanut 6 months ago, and her family found me to take photos of her...not knowing that I was an RT who had taken care of her in her most fragile state...sooo crazy! Amazing how much she's grown, yet she's still so tiny...She looks sooo good! She's a whole 12 pounds now...and just the sweetest baby ever! A&J~So good to see you and your sweet family! Enjoy some of my favs from her session!

Kristi & Robert...Married!

2010-09-10T17:34:00.000-07:00

Kristi & Robert were married on August 3rd, 2010 in Denver, CO. I'm super happy with the way that this wedding turned out, what a beautiful wedding and what a beautiful couple! Kind of worried about it raining, but it was gorgeous! I seriously was in love with this location and thought it was a perfect fit for these two! Thanks so much for letting me capture your special day!! Check out some photos from the day and wish Kristi & Robert a long life of love and laughs…

Some of my recent cuties...

2010-09-09T11:24:00.001-07:00

I know it's been a long time, just thought I'd post a few of my pre-summer cuties on here...I have been on a VERY LONG break...not too sure on when I will start photos back up again...I have sooo much going on right now, will let you guys know in a future post, but that's why I've been MIA! It has been such a super hot summer here in AZ, but finally a day of gorgeousness outside today...Hope this post finds everyone well! Enjoy some of my favs...

2010-06-22T22:19:00.001-07:00

As I promised, a Sneaky Peeky for A's mommy! Enjoy D! I know I told you one...but I was on a roll...haha! Couldn't decide on one or the other on the last two photos...Loved them both, so I kept them both!

::Jordan::

2010-05-16T14:28:00.000-07:00

So let me start off by saying Thank You! I am soooo blessed to have such loyal clients, now friends, and blog readers...I have been doing the 'photography thing' for almost 2 years now...Prior to picking up a "Real" camera, I loved to take photos, but never thought in a million years that I would be making it into a part-time job/career! It's more that just taking snap shots of my family, my vacations, and just the randomness in my life that I oh-so-love, I'm now doing this for others! Jordan, who just turned 2 years old, was honestly one of my practice sessions from back then...you can check out the Tammy then vs. the Tammy now...I think I've really come to develop as a photographer and my hope is to continue to learn and keep making memories for my friends! Thanks again and enjoy a few of the pics of the adorable Jordan, 2 years later!

2010-04-14T12:16:00.000-07:00

All I have to say is that I love what I do! I have to take this moment and thank all of those who have given me the opportunity to capture a brief moment of their lives and be a part of the memory making experience for their families...it's just such an awesome feeling! Whether it be from capturing your special wedding day to catching the very first moments of a daddy's look into his son's eyes...I just love it! I just recently was blessed to meet once again with a family who started as two and now are 3! Welcome Connor...you may remember K&D's Maternity Session from a while back...He is such a sweet little guy...soooo good for his session and not a peep out of him the whole time! My sincere apologies for the long wait on the sneak peek...Enjoy a few of my favorites!

::The G Family::

2010-04-12T12:51:00.000-07:00

As many of you may know, I also work as a respiratory therapist in the Neonatal ICU...a place where daily miracles DO happen! I was fortunate enough to meet back up with an awesome family that called the NICU their other home for quite some time...N was a former 23 weeker...he's now 3! WOW! He's sooo darn cute and just a riot to be around...he's sooo full of energy! He's also a BIG BROTHER to a super sweet little girl...YAY! Thanks G family for such a fun session! Enjoy some of the sneak peeks...

::The E Family::

2010-04-07T16:47:00.000-07:00

Soooo...I found this really cute place that I just had to work in with one of my sessions...I talked to the E Family and they were totally on board with checking it out...this location is super cute, fully equipped with a general store, orange grove, and some farm equipment...so fun, right?!?! They boys had a blast running around and taking turns on the tractor and picking the fruit...it was awesome! Take a quick peek into our morning at the farm!

::Trash the Dress with Randy & Elena::

2010-04-07T15:03:00.000-07:00

Meet Randy and Elena...newlyweds who were willing to 'trash the dress' with me! I was SOOO excited to do my very first trash the dress session, but it almost didn't happen! RAIN in the forecast...WHAT?!? In sunny AZ?? The rain was falling all morning and into the afternoon, but they were willing to battle the rain, so we headed out and this is what we got...it rained before and after our session...the sun peeked through the gorgeous rain clouds...it was just beautiful out! Thanks soooo much for such a FUN session! Enjoy the sneak peek of your session!

::Blakelynn::

2010-03-24T08:23:00.000-07:00

OMG! This little girl was such an ANGEL throughout her entire session...she was such a good girl! She was honestly one of the most cutest I've seen! I just wanted to smooch on her...just an absolute doll for her first photo session! Here are a few pics from her lovely debut to put a smile on your face today!

::Cooper::

2010-03-24T07:36:00.000-07:00

I LOVE a sleeping baby! They are just sooo peaceful...I wonder what they DREAM?!? Do visions of bottles, binkies, and baby baths dance in his head? Maybe! What a sweet little cuddle bug he is...

::Lindsey & James::

2010-02-04T19:52:00.000-08:00

Anxiously awaiting the arrival of their soon-to-be Cooper...meet Lindsey and James! What a super sweet couple that is sooo excited to meet their sweet baby boy! I had a ton of fun with them...It was such a beautiful day for outdoor pics,including the snowy mountains which made for a gorgeous view!

::Kira & Dylan::

2010-01-29T18:07:00.000-08:00

Maternity sessions are sooo much fun! I had such a blast with K & D! They are expecting their little Connor anytime now...hopefully he'll stay in for just a couple more weeks! What completely makes me smile about K & D is the fact that they are SO in love and just looking through the images today after I took them I could feel the love. Here's to the new chapter in your lives...enjoy the pics...

2010-01-20T08:22:00.000-08:00

Meet sweet Noah and his beautiful family! They received their Christmas present about a week early – their newborn baby boy! How awesome is that!

...had an absolutely gorgeous wedding in Denver, CO. These two were the cutest couple ever! They picked the absolute best time of the year to have the wedding...just breathtaking...the deep red colored accents with all of the fall colors was just PERFECT!

Meet little Jayden! Such a cute little guy who's turning one (a few months ago...I know I've been neglecting the Blog)...and to celebrate, mom brought a little cupcake for him to dive into...and that he did! He was too cute watching her every move...from removing it from the grocery bag to setting it in front of him...then it was Jayden=1 Cake=0...It was demolished! Way to go Jayden! Enjoy some of my favs!

I just have to apologize to those of you that check out the blog! I have been soo busy with work, pictures, and life all around...so I haven't really put up any of the recent sessions I've done. If you follow me on Facebook...you've been up to date, but I know some of you refuse FB (although it is sooo great, you should find me!) Soooo...now I'm playing catch up with the latest ones...I hope you enjoy them!

Meet Angie...and soon-to-be Conner! Angie makes a gorgeous pregnant mommy!! You should really look into Runway Moms...you still have time! Or, keep that in mind for the next one...wink, wink! After battling giant red blood ants, chipmunk holes in the ground, and of course the AZ heat with the summer sunrise that is just blinding, this is what came out of this beautiful session...Thanks Angie for such a fun time!! I can't wait to meet little Conner and get the whole fam photographed! Enjoy a few...out of 170+ to chose from...these are some of my absolute favs!!

::Gone Fishin'::

2009-07-28T07:07:00.000-07:00

Shay has decided that since Wyatt is now 3, he's taking him fishing every weekend that he can...Shay's big into fishing, hunting, and all that 'man' stuff...sooo this last weekend was our first outing with the bug and he did awesome! He loved it! It was such a cute sight to watch those two! I was just scared that Wyatt was getting too close to the edge and would fall in...he didn't though. He was just leary of the worms...I don't blame him...GROSS! Till next time!

::July Heat in AZ::

2009-07-17T04:17:00.001-07:00

Equals a photographer at the end of a session lookin' like a sweaty mess! I even tried to beat the heat, but it was already well into the 90's at 7 AM...That's what it's like here in Phoenix...Thank goodness the C family kept their photogenic composure and had an awesome session...The photos turned out so cute! Here is a sneak peek...Enjoy!

::David & Katie::

2009-06-27T12:05:00.000-07:00

Meet David and Katie! They were the lucky winners of the e~session giveaway! A couple that met because they teach at the same school...Yes, I said TEACH! Katie is a special education teacher and David is a Social Studies teacher...What a GREAT looking couple! Thanks for all you do to make our kids a little smarter day by day!! They just recently got engaged in April! Wedding to follow next year...during the cool part of the year, Dec! Congrats guys! We had an awesome time with their session and they were up for anything I threw at them. They turned out great...a little modern, a little funky, and a little a twist of unique = A Primo Session! We were surrounded by tons of different backdrops...from mirrored windows to an infinity pool that was awesome...Way cool, but didn't help with the heat being reflected off of them for the super HOT morning! Thanks for a great session and I can't wait to show them off on the website! All the sweat and salt tears were worth it! I hope you guys enjoy them as much as I do!!

::And The Winners Are...(Drum Roll Please...)::

::H Family::

2009-06-19T18:09:00.000-07:00

Meet the H family! What a fun and FUNNY session! I honestly was laughing HARD at times! Little Ashton was definately letting us know that he didn't want his pictures taken...First, he was bare bottomed and pooped on mom...not little hard poop, but liquid joy that totally relaxed him after...Then, as daddy was holding him close, giving him kisses, Ashton decides to burp a 'man's burp' in his face! Hilarious! And finally, we thought we'd try one more bare bottom and used big bro as a prop and he pees on him!! It was sooo funny that when Andrew said "I feel something warm and wet", we all thought he was joking! Sorry Andrew!! It was a great session that ended with awesome pics of a gorgeous family! M~Stunning after having that little man! What a CUTIE!

::Waterfall Park::

2009-06-16T06:58:00.001-07:00

Wyatt and I took a little hike around the local park...he calls it Waterfall Park...it's actually an environmental education center! There are all sorts of bird species flying around...it's a really nice little hike around the mountain/hill...whatever you want to call it! We had fun checking out all of the birds and watching the water...he soooo wanted to jump in it! It was an awesome day to take some snapshots of my little guy!

::7 DAYS...::

2009-06-13T12:49:00.000-07:00

7 Days until the winner of the FREE Engagement Session is announced!! Submissions are still being taken...Hope to hear from you or someone you know that could benefit from an absolutely FREE session...See below for details!

::Engaged?? Enter For a FREE E~Session::

2009-05-31T16:22:00.000-07:00

Have fun with an E~Session, also known as an engagement session, for FREE! It's a separate photography session with a couple, conducted prior to the wedding. I'm building my portfolio for the engagement section of my website. I thought it would be fun to have a contest to make this happen. Invited are all engaged couples! If you are not, think of your friends and rush them over here! The couple must be willing to appear on my blog with their story. The session will be held outdoors at a location of the couple’s choice, in casual attire, and is carried out in a mixture of lifestyle, photojournalistic, and portraiture styles. Along with the signed photo release from the winning duo, the couple will recieve a CD of images with full rights from the session for FREE! I want to walk with the couple in the city, the park, or even the desert, and capture when they interact, play and maybe even get a little seductive. Enter by submitting your vision of the e-session, along with a photo of you two and how you two met. Bring an intriguing idea to the table! The cooler and the more challenging your vision is to execute (which I LOVE and hope for!), the higher the chance of having it done, for free! Keep one point in mind - this is not a raffle but a contest. Think of places YOU can take me to - the firehouse, the office, loading dock, desert, abandoned anything, and so on… See where I am going? Hope to hear about your vision and story! Don’t let anyone miss out! Forward this to all your friends and spread the word! Send in submissions to tammychisholmphotography@yahoo.com by June 20, 2009 and I will post the winner of the contest June 27, 2009. Let's have some fun with this!!
