Photographer, Tammy Nicholl

BEHIND THE LENS

    I have been learning the art of photography my entire life.  I began to take it seriously after homeschooling my son when he decided to take up photography.   I was not able to put my camera down.  After endless Webinars, Seminars and practice....practice....practice, I have become so comfortabe managing my camera, manipulating the light and settings to get the photos I wanted.  

     It wasn't until the past 6 years that I have become a business. There is nothing better than coming to my studio after a photoshoot and viewing your photos on my computer.  It  looks as though I had spent the entire day capturing your story.

     I have shot Weddings, Engagement Shoots, Models, babies, families, Corporate head shots, Corporate Events, High School Seniors, On Location & Creative studio work.   I have always wanted to make photography a more affordable part of people's lives.  And I think I found a way that I can.  FAMILY MINI PHOTO SHOOTS IN THE PARK.  It is an entire day designated for family photos, but instead of shooting for the entire hour, I will condense the shoot and focus on the KEY photos necessarry to make a collage or a small mini book.  I am already there and instead of an Hour & a half  session, it will only be 1/2 hour.  (The perfect amount of time to complete all these Key photos!)  I will have designated dates through out the year for my clients to book and I can leave the rest of the year for Weddings & Engagements, Corporate Events & Executive Headshots, Newborn & High School Senior Photo shoots. 

 

I am fully equiped with Professional Portable gear as well as the most popular Studio Lighting available.   I also have a Home Studio at the front of my home to accomodate Newborns or when there is bad weather.  I work with many different Canon Camera's and Lenses to capture the moment for any situation.  

 

Photography is more than just a passion!  I truly LOVE what I do.  I have to "PINCH" myself every single day!

THE LIST GOES ON AND ON........

 

I CONTINUE TO EDUCATE MYSELF DURING THE WEEKDAY WHEN I HAVE NOTHING GOING ON.   It gives me a peace of mind that I am working on all the areas of my career that needs attention, or I try to challenge myself into trying something outside the box.
