Whew! Still editing, editing, editing. Thankfully, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. We have a few more weddings and seniors to shoot this year, but we’ve made it through the summer. I had to stop and share this senior session. This feels like an end of an era for me. I’ve […]

Whew! We’ve been busy editing, but wanted to take a moment to share a gorgeous wedding we had the pleasure of shooting this summer in Traverse City, MI. I first met Ashleigh and Steve last summer at their engagement session. I could tell right away they were going to be a really fun couple! Ashleigh […]

We LOVE Boudoir and Glamour photography. We do. It’s truly one of my most favorite styles of photography. Why? Because these sessions allow us to bring out this inner beauty in our clients that they rarely see in themselves. In a world that is constantly driving us to criticize our bodies, Boudoir and Glamour photography […]

2014 was quite a year for Tatum Photo and Design. It started out like it was going to be a pretty mild year and before I knew it I was looking around going “Wait! Where did the time go!?” This year was full of trials and tests for our family, all of which I am […]
