Accolades Received

We receive many words of gratitude for our work but I wanted to share this one with you. This is from a recent Senior Session that I did:

Hi Ms. Tammie. Thank you sooooooo much for taking my pictures. My experience with your studio was amazing! I cannot believe my pictures came out so great! I was extremely comfortable with you during my session and enjoyed your sense of humor. I never felt "rushed" and the time just flew by during my session. Amore' Studio is the best place to have your photography done! Thanks again! Chrissy

Thanks Chrissy! Its nice to know that our customers love our work! I can't wait until your final images are back!

Recent Faerie Session

I just wanted to share a few images from a recent session.

We all know that when photographing children we operate on their "time schedule". This child had other things on her agenda and was not wanting to be photographed. Never being one to give up I completed the session and got some incredible images!

We are going to do a coffee table book and entitle it "The Reluctant Faerie".

Certified Professional Photographer Credentials Earned

As I have stated before, I am always striving to be the best photographer that I can be in order to provide my clients the best portrait experience possible. I am proud to announce that I have earned my Certified Professional Photographer credential from the Professional Photographers of America.

What does this mean? I had to pass a comprehensive examination measuring my technical expertise that included submitting my images to a panel of judges for review.

This designation is a mark of excellence. I am among less than 3% of all photographic professionals to have successfully received this credential.

I am one of two professional photographers in Nassau County who is Certified.

Here is what the PPA website states:

Every day Certified professionals help record the most important moments in life. And while every situation bring new challenges- you can be assured that the Certified professional has the creativity and skills to deliver the best possible images for you.

I truly believe that my clients will benefit from my mark of excellence.

Going Home

The studio will be closed from Thursday, September 11th thru Saturday, September 13th.

We will be traveling home for my father-in-law's 85th birthday. What a milestone in life.

We will resume normal hours on Monday, September 15th.

Back From Convention

What a wonderful experience I had at this years convention. There were many wonderful speakers that gave me some new and innovative ideas for our studio. I cannot wait to share them with my clients.

On a more serious note- I hope that everyone came through Tropical Storm Faye intact. We sustained some flooding (thankfully none entered our home) and downed branches. I spent most of this week cleaning up the property. But when life hands you lemons- make lemonade! While
cleaning up I thought of some awesome outdoor sets that we can implement. I can't wait to get started on them!
