Every single time I blog…I try to show you something that I think is great — images (of COURSE!)…stories…things we like or are currently obsessed with…cool people we meet…sharing is AMAZING.  I learned everything I know from someone else — so — it seems natural to me to share things with you that might be interesting…

One of the things we offer to our brides and grooms are what we’ve dubbed “Tammified” Images.  I think one of the things I’m REALLY good at is working in my digital darkroom (aka Photoshop ::grin::).  When I am shooting — sometimes I see an image as something it’s obviously NOT when I take it.  I know it’s going to be fun to work on later.  I start with a small seed of an idea — and then once I have it in front of me — then I let the image TELL me what it wants.  I know that sounds really weird (as usual to those who really know me!)  but there’s really no other way to describe it.  There’s no one way or one thing I do to every single image…because each one that is “Tammified” is it’s own story.

There’s no way to teach you this.  It just evolves.  So I have to show you.

Shannon and Kieran really wanted their photos at Manhattan Square Park – all cement…steps…angles…and bright hot (did I say hot?  I mean HOT.  90+ degrees) sunny weather.

It was HOT.  And sun was bouncing everywhere.

So this is the shot I took — STRAIGHT out of the camera.  Not too interesting, right?

Here’s the final image.  Tammified.  It’s what I bring to my work…to my clients…and to myself.   And now…to you.    Shannon and Kieran — this was an AMAZING idea and you both ROCKED it!!  xoxo
