I’m finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. We’ve got 80% of our kitchen cabinets back together and almost all the doors are fully painted. So I’m optimistic that by the end of the week I’ll have the kitchen completely done (& then I can post pictures). Of course knowing …

Andrea & Richards Engagement Session | Decatur, IL | Engagement Photography
The weather was wonderful this past Saturday. It had warmed up nicely outside and the sun was shining when I met up with Andrea & Richard at Rock Springs for their engagement session. I had been looking forward to taking pictures of these two for quite a while since Andrea booked me for her wedding …
Why Did I…?
A couple weeks ago, someone asked a question: “Why did you get into photography in the first place?” I thought it was an interesting question and one worth really thinking about. So I’ve been reminiscing and contemplating about where and why I started this crazy journey into creating my own photography business. So many photographers …
A Friday Update…
It’s Thursday night and I’m sitting in my living room trying to decide what to share with you. Sometimes it can be hard coming up with things to post on this little space amidst the enormity of the internet…especially when I’m in my slow season. But things are finally starting to pick up around here. …
Projects Galore!
I know it’s been a week since I last wrote you all a note on my little blog here and I’m so sorry in my delay in posting! I’ve just been so incredibly busy the past week. Ryan has started doing flooring on the side again, and I’ve been going with him to help. I …
Thoughts from the Weekend…
This past weekend was fun. Ryan and I had a bunch of our friends over to hang out… kind of a post- St. Patrick’s Day party. As I was sitting there with friends, sharing food and conversation, I started thinking about how incredibly blessed I am. I haven’t always had the best of luck in …
The Meaning of Life… Tamara’s Thoughts
As many of you already know I’m a thinker. I’m the kind of girl who will lie in bed at night and end up staring at the ceiling for hours unable to fall asleep because I can’t get my thoughts to slow down and subside. I’ve been thinking a lot lately…about the website I’m working …
Finish Each Day…
Today is one of those days. You know… the one where you want to just stay in bed. You’re inexplicably tired and in all honesty have zero motivation to accomplish your long to-do list. That’s how I’m feeling today. And yet here I am. Talking to you. Writing this blog post. So I suppose I …
Unleashing the Creativity…
Sometimes I just have this insatiable need to create something. Oftentimes it’s through my pictures, but sometimes I find other outlets to unleash this creativity. Recently I’ve been on a sewing and jewelry-making kick. So I’ve got this nice little assortment of projects and project parts going. One day I spent an entire afternoon making …
The Photography Industry and a Lunch Date
You know, it’s funny what extremes you can find in this industry, and I’m not talking about styles or skills – although that’s true as well. I’m talking about the people themselves. It seems to me there are two types of photographers. There are photographers who’ve been in the industry for a while and are …
