If you are looking for a fun, energetic, and experienced photographer to bring out the best in your family, you have come to the right place! I love getting out into nature and discovering the beauty that always surrounds us.

I have called Manhattan home since 2011, starting Little Leapling Photography in 2013. I grew up in Dallas, but have moved around quite a bit, attending Interlochen Arts Academy in Michigan, Northwestern University near Chicago, as well as living in Boston, San Diego, Santa Barbara, and Oakland. I am mom to three amazing kiddos: Nathan, Annika, and Kaia, my sweet Leap Day baby for which my business is named. Not only have these three given me limitless opportunities to practice my photography skills, but they have taught me the secrets to the smiles and giggles that we all want to freeze for eternity.

I'm an accomplished saxophonist, artist, and have had my photography featured across the globe. I am proud of the impact my work has had and I will continue to advocate for normalizing the beauty of birth, breastfeeding, and equal rights for all through my photography. I've been published many times in CafeMom and  the Huffington Post, but this is my favorite feature. A quick internet search will show off how far my reach is from features on People Magazine to Buzzfeed and a wide variety of parenting publications. I was featured in the Manhattan Mag and more recently in Shoutout Colorado, which details my Little Leapling journey and some of what I feel sets me apart as a photographer. Take a look!

You'll always find big, playful prints of my kids around my house and I'm tickled pink by the thought of my artwork bringing the walls of your home to life, as well. I look forward to putting my creativity and energy to work for you and consider it an honor to be trusted with documenting your most precious memories.

Go check out my blog and galleries, and let's start planning the perfect photo session for your family!

Hi, I'm Tammy!

Here's a snapshot into my world.

Little Behind The Scenes 

My kids are my everything (furbabies included!) and I love taking them out to the various parks around Manhattan. You'll always find me with my camera catching them exploring nature and showing off their true colors.

I'm happiest when I'm on the move! I am also a total sucker for sunsets. If you see an incredible sunset shaping up, you can be pretty sure that I'm finding my way to a location with a view. I love to travel and ultimately want to become a family travel photographer!

Adventure

I have A LOT of energy and consistently outlast my kids. I'll probably  outlast your kids, too! I love running my dogs, playing Ultimate Frisbee, and I've competed in three triathlons in recent years. The older I get, the more difficult I find it to sit still, so get ready to have some fun! I love catching you in action!

Music, painting, drawing, pottery...it all plays its part in my photography. I can see the canvas filling with color and motion; it's a dream-like dance in my mind and you are part of that masterpiece. While I pride myself in editing your images in subtle and natural ways, I can't stop myself from completing the picture so that your eyes dance from person to person free of distractions.
