I really 'ppreciate you visiting my blog-site where we'll get to know each other and you can see what's happening in my photography world, too. Now that you're here, I have a few questions:

What style of shoes are you wearing?
What color are they?
Where have you been in them?
More important, where are you going in them?
Shoes can really tell you a lot about a person's life huh?

Oh me? Well, I'm wearing a pair of 4 inch leather sandals with stones down the T-strap and wooden heels. They make me stand tall and feel fierce and earthy at the same time. I've been on vacation in them, church, dates, and even shoe shopping in them! Maybe I'll be wearing them when we meet to discuss your photo shoot.

By the way, I'm Tamara Young and I love shoes. I love people, too. I love shoes and I love people and love it when I get to photograph the two together. I mean really, I'm a self-professed lover of all things shoes. I'll buy a pair just make change! If food is shaped like shoes, in my mind I think I must taste it. I really like a good bowl of grits and some sun tea every now and then, too. (But I'll take a yummy cupcake any day of the week for any reason.)

I'm also very passionate about travel and music. When a good song comes on, I start to move without thinking about it. In case you're wondering, YES, I'm that girl in the car singing at the top of her lungs and making faces as if she's performing for a crowd of 50,000. I should also mention that I'm a Southern girl, born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee and now residing in Laguna Niguel, California with my beautiful, funny and sweet daughter, Marti.

Of course, being Southern and all, I'll probably want to hug you because that's just what we do. Especially since we're gonna be such good shoe shopping mates after your shoot. I hope you don't think that it's all about shoes, cupcakes and pictures for me. There's so much more that I'm looking forward to sharing with you both through my blog posts and my images. (Seriously, a lot really is about shoes and cupcakes, but I'll explain later. *giggle*)

So, now that you know a little about me, I can't wait to know more about you. I hope you feel at home here and I invite you to visit often. You may find yourself engaged in some fun chit-chat with another shoe lover who happens to like my style of photography as much as you do. I'm really looking forward to meeting you and picking a fabulous place to photograph you in those awesome shoes.

Who knows where those soles will take you in life!?
