Creative And Weird Editorial Portrait Photographer in Grand Rapids, Michigan

Hi, I'm Tammy. It's nice to meet you. I am a self-taught 41-year-old photographer based in Grand Rapids, Michigan. My pronouns are She/Her.

Around 2004, after finishing my Bachelor of Arts in Theatre and Psychology, I got the itch to pursue another creative venture: photography. I started the process of teaching myself photography. Over the last 17 years, I have studied, practiced, and taken lessons from other photographers and I have loved every minute of it. I believe that sometimes we don't find our passions right away. Some people know what they want to do with their lives at 12 or 18; while some of us are figuring this out later in life and we run like we are on fire towards our wildest passions and dreams.

My goal is to make my clients feel amazing, beautiful, artistic, creative, and I want them to feel like their authentic selves. The weirder the concept, the better! I believe that there is beauty in everyone and that in order to decrease world suck, we need more art in our lives.  

I love vivid colors, dancing, laughing, collecting vintage cameras, and creating weird art. There is usually lots of laughter, dancing, and creativity on shoots with me. Let's go on an adventure together!
