Savanna Tate Photography

The term "shout-out" feels completely wrong coming from my lips, but that's exactly what this blog entry is: An Online "Shout-Out" (I just can't pull that phrase off) to tell you about the talents of Savanna Tate!
I think other Mom's would agree that it's important to have your baby photographed often during their first year of life. These shots of Henry were taken at four weeks and already, at six weeks, I can see that he has changed.

Since I've been in a list-making mood, allow me to share with you the reasons why I highly recommend working with Savanna to capture the moments that matter, the moments that pass too quickly (that sentiment should be on a Hallmark card).

• In the past, our professional photos have been taken at department store studios (ie: Target). The idea of taking my two children to the store, unaided, makes my arm pits sweat. Those photographers are on a schedule, so in the past, I have felt rushed or frustrated when I've waited for my appointment to start. With newborns, you have to expect the unexpected - spit up, diaper blowouts, an emergency need to eat RIGHT NOW (or else everyone who hears me crying will assume you're a horrible mother), etc. Meeting with Savanna, the environment was relaxed. She is a Mother herself and can relate and adapt to stressful surprises.
  

• Savanna assured me from the time I walked through the door that we weren't rushed. If Eliza needed attention or Henry needed to calm down, it was fine. The calm environment, coming from an understanding Mom, eased the frazzled nerves of a sleep deprived Mom.
  

• I was given a disc of photos from our shoot. I didn't have to choose five minutes after the session was over which ones I wanted printed, how many, what size, etc. I'm a poor decision maker when I feel pressured - not to mention, how are your kids holding up while you sit through that process of deciding? Thanks to Savanna, I can choose to have select favorites printed on my own and I get to take my time doing it. My Mom can pick and choose the ones she wants. I don't like making that decision for her.
  

• Your children will love Savanna. She is so likable. She'll be able to pull out the best expressions and works well with busy, busy children who don't want to sit still.
  

• And finally, Savanna is gifted. She has the "eye" for all things artistic and beautiful. Her graphic design work is likewise impressive.
  

Her work speaks for itself. Check out her website:
