Tagged: 8 things you might not know about Tammy

I was "Tagged" by Delaney to reveal 8 things you might not know about me. Photographers who are tagged, reveal 8 things and then tag other photographers to reveal 8 somethings about themselves.

Here is mine....

1. I feel that my greatest accomplishment was becoming a mother. I'll never top that one. Giving birth doesn't make you a mother but building a relationship with your child does. Matt, my 10 year old, asked me the other day if I was his best friend. I asked him if he wanted me to be his best friend and he said yes. You don't get a manual with children so every stage is a learning process but hearing something like that makes me think that I'm getting a few things right.

2. I think the best gift that you can give someone is laughter. I lost one of my best friends this year and she was the queen of laughter. You would know where she was in a crowded room because everyone around her would be laughing. That is a beautiful sound. Making someone feel good even if it is only for a few minutes is priceless.

3. When I was in the 5th grade I won my first camera. It was a little Kodak 110 camera. I read the most books in my grade. I never thought at that time I would be a photographer one day.

4. That leads to the next item on my list. I love to read murder/crime mysteries. I love the process of digging through the layers to find out who did it. If I get involved in a book, I could stay up all night reading.

5. I am extremely independent – some would say that is a fault of mine.

6. I am the middle child. That might explain number 5 a little bit.

7. I would love to learn to play the piano. I took lessons briefly as a child but quickly learned that I wanted to play the piano and not learn to play the piano. Now that I am older I realize that I will have to put in the work to learn how. That stinks!! But one day I’m going to do it.

8. I never miss out on a trip. My friends joke and say that if the wheels are turning I’m there. I’m scared that I’ll miss out on something so it doesn’t matter – going out to eat, shopping, or just hanging out at a friends house. I’m always there.

Misty & Chuck

Yesterday in Macon we had 100 degree temperatures. I had to introduce you to Misty & Chuck. They braved the 100 degree weather to have engagement pictures taken and didn't complain one bit (or not that I could hear). Their wedding is in a month so we all have our fingers crossed for cooler weather. Even if it is still hot these two are going to be so much fun. They already have a family started. Their two dogs are spoiled and seem to get a lot of attention. Thanks guys for a great afternoon! Can't wait for the wedding.
