Hello ~ Thanks for stopping by.

I'm Tammi. Wife, mother of 2 grown boys, 1 stepdaughter and 2 lovable labradors that think they're 100lb lap dogs. Recently, Grandmother was added to my titles. Adalyn Jade joined our family on December 16, 2008.

Photography has been a hobby for me since I received my 1st camera at 15. It wasn't the 35mm I dreamed of, but that little Kodak 110 definitly sparked an interest. I later invested in a Minolta 35mm and took some photography classes to better understand what I was doing.

Currently, I'm shooting with a Nikon D90 w/Nikon D70s as a back up.

I love photographing kids and pets, but my true passion is with nature and landscapes. I prefer candid shots to posed. Real. Comfortable. Relaxed. Sort of "fly by the seat of my pants" I guess...I see something I like and shoot it.

I am learning more about the technical side of photography thanks to my dear friend Yarg. Our different approaches compliment each other well.

So, take a look around. Let me know if there's anything I can do for you.
