  • My name is Tamara and I take pictures…

    Photography is so much more than capturing an image, pictures capture feelings and our history.  I am so privileged to be able to do what I love and give back to others at the same time.  My hope is that my work will remind families of the important things-the little moments memories are made of.

    I hope you enjoy reading my blog and perhaps find a little inspiration.

[summer canvas sale]

I can’t begin to tell you how much I love gallery wrap canvases.  The gorgeous simplicity and the beauty of seeing your portrait larger than life is always a touching experience for me.  We ordered this one of Grace in a 20×30, and it’s simply stunning!  I can’t stop staring at it.  Now through the end of June receive 25% off all gallery wraps 16×20 and larger.  Email me for details.

gillian crane - i like that the sale is on 16×20 and larger-i want everybody to have big huge canvases in their house and when clients get their 11×14 canvases, they’re always sorry they didn’t spend a few extra dollars and go bigger.

Melissa - Tamara is absolutely right it is Stunning! It look amazing on your wall, but I really like this one of Gracie holding it.

[most petite pettiskirt..]

One of the tiniest newborns I have ever photographed; meet sweet little “I”, only 8 days old and weighing in at 5lbs. :o)  She looks precious as can be in her teeny pettiskirt by our friends at Belle Ame.  Take a peek at more from her session…she and her beautiful Mama were a sheer pleasure to capture.

{love her “pointed toes” here}

stephanie - wow tamara — these are lovely. the clarity is just stunning! love your choice of color — worked so well with these!

[feeling grateful]


We had a close call with our little Ruby last week. She went in for a routine spay and seemed to come through it just fine. After two days I noticed that her incision just didn’t look quite right, so I took her in. I am SO glad I followed my instincts, she had complications and was rushed in for emergency surgery! Had I not taken her in she would have almost certainly not made it. Always follow your instincts with your pets and your kids!
So here she is, Ruby and her Starbucks puppychino….she is a little thinner than usual because of her ordeal, but no less sweet. We LOVE you Ruby!!
And for some comic relief- don’t hate her because she is beautiful, even supermodels take a bad pic now and then..here are a few outtakes! lol

Tamara - thank you all so much for the well wishes..she is doing better and continues to be my editing “sidekick” resting comfortably in my lap the whole time I work on my PC! lol.. awww..yah..she is just a little bit spoiled..ha!

June 23, 2008 - 7:30 am

elizabeth - Oh My gosh she is too cute.. great shots of Ruby glad she is doing better now.

June 22, 2008 - 7:31 pm

Danielle - Ahww. Hope everything keeps getting better. I know how much you can love a little dog : 0

June 21, 2008 - 2:53 pm

Tamara - yeah..she is hysterical! lol

Paloma - I’m glad Ruby is ok. :) She makes that puppychino look delish.

[M U S E by tamara....a sneak peek]

Here is tiny sneak peek at M U S E…believe me, it’s so hard for me not to share more and spoil the website debut..but I am resisting temptation! lol  Here are a few answers to some questions about “M U S E by tamara”-

What is M U S E?  – M U S E is a division of FTT and will have it’s own website.  It is dedicated to portraiture for girls.

What is unique about M U S E?  – M U S E has been a dream of mine for some time, it’s the combination of several of my favorite things…beauty and modern vintage expression.  The portraiture M U S E will offer is unique in that the images are timeless and ones that I can only imagine will be cherished for a lifetime.  We all have those portraits from our teen years that we wish to hide in the very back of the closet…..M U S E hopes to change that.  With a direct approach towards fashion and editorial styling, you will feel like a Vogue model when you view your images.  Senior packages will be available but M U S E  is not exclusively for senior girls.

Will all the images reflect vintage styling?  -Of course not, I pride myself on having a unique knack for mixing modern and vintage in a way that allows for timeless, yet cutting edge portraiture.  I will be your photographer and stylist..working closely with you every step of the way.

Where will the sessions take place?  -Just as in any high fashion photo shoot, the locations will vary and will be scouted out according to our vision for your portraits and styling.

When can I book a M U S E session?  -I hope to debut M U S E by the end of the summer.

Ok..here are a few more images..thank you to my stunning M U S E model for braving the wind that day with me and trusting me completely for wardrobe.  Isn’t she beautiful?

June 20, 2008 - 8:40 am

Tamara - thank you all! I am very excited about this..it’s too much fun to be considered ‘work’…lol

June 18, 2008 - 3:24 pm

MOM - You never cease to amaze me. I love the way you captured her beauty. These pictures can make these young ladies feel so good about themselves! I would have given anything to have had this opportunity when I was sixteen. What a great gift to these sweet girls.
