Models!

Hi Everyone!
As you all know the month of Oct is wild and crazy! I have had maternity, birth and some weddings (not in that order!) What I have also done is some model work! Tonight I am giving you a sneak peek of what I have been doing for a class in Prescott. It is commercial photography and was alot of fun!


So here we go!










My first model is Andrea, she was a blast to photograph! I really had a great time with her! I think this was Andrea's first time modeling. When she first posed for me she was nervous not know what to expect. Within a few shots she absolutely had it down!
Amazing!






This is Jessie!
I have had the honor of working with Jessie for a year now!
Jessie is an accomplished model and is very easy to work with. Every time I work with her it is such a blast! She always just seems to know what I am looking for and pulls off the look with little coaching. She makes my job very easy!


       This is Roz! She has the most beautiful blue eyes ever ! I am not sure if she has ever modeled before.... but she really seemed to know what she was doing! She is a natural, not camera shy at all and very fun!
I just want to take a moment and thank all these girls for their time , you all are amazing,beautiful and smart, and I wish you all the best in where ever this takes you, and I hope I am one of the ones that helped you reach those goals! *Hugs!*

The babies are coming!







Hey there! Its been a little while since I have checked in!
Around here it is "birthing season"! Life seems to go full circle, and here at "SIMPLY TAKEN" it
HAS come full circle! Tonight's blog post is a "congratulations to a new Mommy and her new baby boy! I had such a great time with this session and baby Kingston is just so yummy! I wish I could just hold him all day, but alas that is not how pictures are taken! I will say I held him as much as I could when I could! His Mommy, Halie was so laid back and trusted us totally with this little man, and I think had a great time watching us, and laughing at us as I dodged the shower and the poop session. Can anyone say pee pee tepee! Those things are awesome and I am going to buy some for my baby boy sessions! 


CONGRATULATIONS TO THE MORALES FAMILY, AND WELCOME BABY KINGSTON!

Hello Every one! Which is your fav?

Well its been a week since I talked to y'all, so I thought Id better check in!








This week again has been crazy! I am finishing up the three weddings I shot in the last 2 weeks. We Celebrated Mothers Day, and I went and did a short trip in San Diego, while Ken was in class. Our mode of transportation was a small plane. Now just so that you know.... It was a first for me, and Mahalie! Mahalie handled it MUCH better than I!. I flew with Ken, because I love him, not the plane. We made it to the coast in two hours and fifteen min! Pretty amazing! I slept for ten hours after. On the way home it was dark. Very DARK! That was SO much fun!(sarcastic giggle) I cant wait to do it again!(deep sigh) I probably will too. I love my husband, he loves to fly.

Well tonight as I was editing the Wed pics, my Daughter, Missy, reminded me that she was graduating. Graduating in about two weeks. "Yep  I know that."' I need the pictures for my announcements!" " Ummmm okay, lets do them now!" (big smile, oh my gosh I'm glad I have the pics!)  So this is what we came up with. I am gonna post several of her Senior pics, and you all can tell me which you love the best!  I am so excited that Melissa is Graduating! Its been a long thirteen years, but she had done awesome! I am so proud of her! Through these thirteen years Melissa has battled more than the norm. When she was in kindergarten, age five, she was diagnosed with a rare type of cancer. Through treatments and hospital stays she stayed in school. It was a long, LONG eight months of treatments.It has also been a long twelve years of school for Melissa. Not everything came easy for her. She had struggles, but one by one, she ALWAYS over came them. Melissa has just returned from her yearly visits and she was pronounced CANCER FREE! How timely. She began school and ended school, and a season of her life that left us all changed in one way or another. Especially Melissa. She has become a testimony of Gods healing power! She has showed determination and strength that most people twice her age don't have. Melissa is a now grown young woman with the whole world open to her.She is ready to jump in with both feet ! She had decided that she wants to pursue a career in the medical field helping others. She will be amazing! Melissa, I love you! Baby girl, JUMP and FLY!  Its your time, and I will be here watching you!

Hello everyone!
Wow! What a crazy month it has been! Tis the season for new babies and Weddings not to mention graduating seniors! Tammilynn Photography has been bouncing in and out of many different places this month.

Today I had the blessing of photographing a very special couple. The Wedding was sweet, the Bride looked amazing, and the Groom just glowed! The bride I have known since she was a little girl and have enjoyed watching her grow into an amazing, young woman. I have also known the groom for a long time and also watched him transform from a gangly young boy to now a man that works a job and will now be a husband and someday a father. His older brother is now married to my oldest daughter, Amy and the bride and Amy are best friends. So when I first saw the Bride this morning, it was very hard to hold the tears.
 Congratulations to Craig and Audrey Arps!

In a few days we will have their sneak peek!

Tonight I want to give you all a sneak peek of another special wedding,
Kenny and Raelynn Rosas!

Kenny and Raelynn were such fun to work with! They are both crazy, and witty!
Raelynn is probably one of the most laid back brides I have photographed! On her Wedding day, she was the only cool one among us!  She just flowed and enjoyed the whole process of  HER day, and it was just that!  Even now I am still giggling about these two! Thanks for the fun you guys!

This week has been an editing frenzy!
I've had the honor of shooting weddings, births and newborns. Tonight I am going to share some pics from my Easter sessions. These two little girls, sisters were photographed for Easter, as a surprise for their Daddy.
Their daddy is a special man. He was at the time in the Army serving in Iraq. He was not able to make it home for the Baby's birth, but was able to be present by web cast. It was a special time!
Now Daddy will be coming home, just after Easter and we all well be celebrating!
Welcome home Josh! We all are so proud of you!
