- Cesare Pavese
I am a lover of stories. Whether it is written on a crumpled piece of paper, shared over a cup of coffee, tasted in a family recipe, felt through music, or clicked through my lens; I've been gathering stories my whole life. Each time I pick up my camera, I'm reminded again of how much I LOVE what I do and the honor I feel in sharing your genuine moments and telling your beautiful stories.
My approach to photography is to combine both fine art and documentary styles. I photograph in a way to capture the important moments but will also style and direct posing, in order to create both beautiful images and tell a timeless story.
I've been shooting weddings for seven years and still...even now...every time a couple says, "I do",
I'm struck by the profoundness of the moment and the honor I feel in capturing their story.
I love popcorn...no, like really reeeeally love it. That, and gummy candy. And someday, I plan to invent a karaoke machine for cars, because let's face it...I'm basically Celine Dion when I'm driving. I can make a big life decision quicker than I can pick a restaurant to eat at. I'm an aunt to the sweetest kids in this world and hope they always think I'm a rockstar. My sisters are my best friends and my best friends are like sisters. In another life, I'd be a chef...but as of now, I can't bake a cookie to save my life. I am constantly buying yogurt and am always throwing it out because I never eat it. I don't own any pets, but if I had a puppy, his name would be Mr. Benedict. I'm a lot like my dad...quirks and all. I had a wonderful mom who laughed loudly, cried easily, and loved without fear...I want to be more like her.
My suitcase is always half packed because I'm always up for an adventure. Combining travel with doing what I love has been the greatest gift ever. I'm always struck with love and gratitude for all of those who invite me into their lives and let me document their stories!!

“Oooooohhh Tami!! I’m melting at the lovliness of these pictures! They’re even more beautiful than I could have ever imagined!!”
“I have to be honest, before we met you, I was kind of dreading getting pictures taken...but you made everything so easy and fun that the pictures ended up being my favorite part of the day! Thanks so much Tami!”
“When I saw Tami’s images, I was impressed with the liveliness of her images and how she documents people. They were bold and interesting, yet I could see her personality in her work; laid back, fun, and genuine.”
