"I believe that love is everything. It is when we feel loved that we feel most alive."
Hey there, friend! I'm Tami.
I am so thankful that you are considering me for documenting your story. I’ve been photographing families, couples, and your individual portrait stories for over 15 years, and I am so incredibly humbled to get to be in a world that is surrounded by love, happiness, and new friendships. My heart is poured into each and every session that I do. I adore documenting those sincere genuine moments that tell your story. Laughter, quiet moments, spontaneous adventure, fearless love, simple evenings, and golden sunlight are a few things that inspire me.
I currently call the Florida gulf coast my home, but my fierce passion for exploring the world has me traveling all over to photograph my clients. My passport is current, so if the mountains are calling or an exotic island beach or historic cobblestone alleyway in Europe is where you envision your portrait session, let's become friends.
"Every story matters."
The Manifesto
I aim to help you deepen the unspoken bond between you and your loved ones (and also the appreciation you have for yourself) with this portrait experience. I know life can get a little chaotic at times because you have big dreams and goals with your lives, so I aim to provide you with a unique experience for you to reconnect and reinvigorate a deeper bond for you and your loved ones. I also want to create photos for you of how it actually felt. None of the inauthentic, stiff poses, but more of the genuine, quirky, + raw emotional moments. We will capture the in-betweens, the moments when no one is watching. I want to tell your amazing story in photos that properly respect your legacy, so the memories can be passed on for years to come.
"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around every once in awhile, you could miss it."
Your St Pete Petite Lifestyle Portrait Experience
This is your opportunity to celebrate the epic story that is your life. This is your chance to remember deeply what life was like at this stage. Whether it be feeling the security + warmth as your hubby pulls you in for the deepest embrace to tell you how much he loves you, or feeling the pride + joy as your little one crawls into your lap to tell you that you are the best mother ever. I want you to look at these photos and remember exactly what life felt like at this moment and why your unique life is so magical. Whether it be with engagement photos, an in-home couples snuggle fest, a family day at the park, an extended family session oceanside, updated fitness photos, or new headshots of yourself, I want to tell your story.
Before your shoot, I will send you a questionnaire to dive deep into what you envision for your session and to help me learn more about how to create portraits you absolutely love. I will also provide you with a prep guide full of all kinds of amazing tips on what to wear and how to prepare leading up to your session. I will help you with all the logistics beforehand regarding location options + attire. These lifestyle sessions mean they are on-location at a location of your choice in St Pete + St Pete Beach region. (Travel to areas outside of there is available for a fee) I will be just an email or phone call away to answer all your questions and guide you every step of the way with any styling assistance you need.
During your portrait session, plan to have fun + not worry about posing because I've got you! I will be guiding you in finding picture-perfect spots, as well as giving you guidance in your interactions so we capture none of the fluff, and all of the real stuff. Prepare to be honest + vulnerable, but also have a ton of fun in the process.
"When I wanted a couples session with my girlfriend, I knew exactly with whom I wanted to work. The session was so easy and fun, from the pre-shoot questionnaire to the photoshoot itself to the reveal meetup, Tami was there every stop of the way, making sure everything was what we wanted out of the process. I cannot recommend her highly enough."

After your Photoshoot
Within 5 business days of your shoot, you will receive an email with an online gallery of your retouched digital images. You will be able to download your images straight from this gallery as well as share your images with friends + loved ones, and also order any keepsake artwork you'd like to showcase your beautiful new photos.
Your online gallery will stay live for 1 week, so make sure to download your digitals or place any order within that time frame. If you need to extend your gallery, it's a $50 deposit to extend it another week. That deposit will turn into a product credit or be forfeited if no order is placed within that time frame. If you'd like to schedule an in-person ordering appointment to view artwork options in-person and for a more personalized experience, it's a $75 deposit (that will again, turn into a credit or be forfeited if no order is placed at your appointment.)

Frequently Asked Questions
I'm not familiar with the St Pete + St Pete Beach areas, are you able to offer suggestions for locations for our shoot?
I absolutely can do that! Choose the option "Photographer's Choice" and I will do my best to select a location based on you shoot vision + goals that you listed on you intake form.
How many images do you deliver?
Expect to receive 25 professionally retouched digitals with your 30-minute session and 45 digitals with your 60 minute session.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
If you need to cancel or reschedule, it must be in writing. For reschedules with at least 14 days' notice, you will be allowed 1 reschedule for a new date that is within a 30-day timeframe from when notice is given. Outside of that 30-day timeframe will incur a $50 fee. Any reschedules made 8-14 days before your shoot, will incur a $100 fee. Any reschedules made 7 days before your shoot, will incur a $150 fee. Any cancelations with at least 8 days' notice, will forfeit 50% of the session retainer. Within 7 days' notice, all sales are final and there are no refunds for the canceled shoot
What happens in inclement weather?
I am ready to shoot in light rain or shine, but I will connect with you directly before your shoot to discuss the weather. I can never guarantee my availability on other dates, but I will always do my very best to reschedule if there is too much rain to work with.
Can you change my images to color, b&w, touch up a blemish, etc. after you have already edited the images?
I do make sure to spend time after your photo shoot editing your images to make them “picture perfect”! But if you want to make some additional changes after your reveal, I am more than happy to provide vanity edits, for a minimal fee.
Do I have printing rights to my images?
Yes, with your session purchase that includes digitals, you have the right to make as many prints, wall art, or albums as you like and I recommend that you do! While ordering artwork from me will provide you with professional-grade quality, I'm happy to offer you some consumer lab recommendations.
Can I post my images online?
Without a doubt yes, and I would be honored that you loved my work that much to share it with the world! Just make sure you don't alter the images in any way! And if you want to tag me @tamikeehn so that others know where they can get their own dope couples photos from, I'd be doubly honored!
When can I expect my images to be ready?
You can expect your images to be ready within 5 business days of your session.
What payment methods do you accept?
I take cash, check, Venmo, or credit card
I really enjoyed my session! Can I tip you after the shoot?
Thank you for asking! What a thoughtful question. Tips are always appreciated but of course are not mandatory — it's entirely up to you! If you choose to do so, I happily take cash or Venmo (@tamikeehn).
