artistic portraiture for children, families and teens by Tamara Burross
I never tire of photographing brand new babies. They each have their own unique look and personality. This little angel reminds me of a porcelain baby doll. Congrats to her sweet Mommy & Daddy, you did a great job making such a beautiful baby! ;) See her Mama’s stunning maternity session here .

{still life}
n. pl. still lifes
1. Representation of inanimate objects, such as flowers or fruit, in painting or photography.
2. A painting, picture, or photograph of inanimate objects.
One of the goals of the “elevate” fine art project is to encourage you to stretch yourself, artistically speaking. I am and will always be a portrait photographer at heart. People, children in particular, move me and I find an image all the more compelling for it’s subject. I believe that personality, mood and even soul can be captured in a photograph. Isn’t the same true for objects or places? When some “thing” or place sparks an emotional connection with the artist, a personality emerges in that image. The beauty of “seeing” things through another person’s eyes or soul is truly a gift and a reason that this genre of photography is so widely appealing and regarded as fine art. I encourage you to try your hand at still life photography. Discover a place or thing that stirs something inside you and capture it as only YOU can.
The following is a series I shot in New Orleans. This city holds a dear place in my heart and I focused on what moved me. I hope you find some inspiration and I encourage you to share your work with me. I would love to see the world through your eyes.

Gorgeous! Love your eye . . . you just capture the essence of the place . . .
love every single one of these Tamara!!
Adore! Stills are not my forte but you have done them beautifully. Love the staircase shot. Can’t wait to see New Orleans for the first time next month.
very cool – the bottles are my favorite
i adore new orleans so much. you captured it beautifully and creatively. my fave image is the capture of the chairs. what a unique location and i could see that image on the cover of a book. hope you are well. thinking of your family and your sweet momma. love to you!!
Oh gosh, LOVE seeing these from you Tamara…we are one when it comes to shooting I think so to see you really step outside your circle makes me happy (and hopeful I can to). What a great series…each has a different story that anyone can attach to it. I do love the kitty one….I’m a sucker for furry things. :)
i love it when an artist shoots something different from her norm. i have been meaning to do something similar to this too for some time now, but just haven’t found anything as charming as this! i LOVED this series as well. it felt so old- town, down-home, comfy to me!! inspired, again, by you. of course!! ;)
What a great eye. Love what you captured from your trip. The chairs image is super cool
These are fantastic! I love this concept and the story it tells.
I LOVE this series soooo much! gorgeous … the chairs and the storefront with the bike are beautiful!
I really do love the holiday break, but it’s so nice to be back to the routine again too! I have been wanting to blog this session for some time. There are a lot of images and even more I didn’t share because the post would never end! A few of you may remember these precious babies. I have had the honor of watching them grow and capturing their annual portraits. If you would like to see their previous sessions click here 2009, 2010 .
Their sweet mama and I have much in common. She is always so fun to work with because she puts as much effort into the planning as I do. I look forward to their sessions even though it takes three grown women to chase these two down, (they run in opposite directions! lol) I always come away with adorable shots. The famous Mount Vernon home was our backdrop this year. Wow, is all I can..what an amazing estate. Take a peek at our session.
