The Phase Out

I have been SUPER absent from blogging- but I have good reasons. I am phasing out Tanisha Stephens Photography and I've been busy developing the brand and ironing out the details of my new company. I will specialize in family and children's portraiture. I'm excited about starting here in Atlanta. Today I will share my new logo (which) I actually shared on FaceBook last week. Hope you like it. Big things to come! Thanks Peter Chilton

My Climb Starts Today

Post Graduation Plans promise contentment along with excitement. Relaxed environment with potential for tremendous financial growth. - Thats my self-written fortune cookie for the day! My lucky numbers: Lots of 000,000,000,00's!

I have decided I will motivate myself to become a marketing guru like Gary Fong, or Mr. Cheetah Stand. I don't have a product but I can offer an experience. An experience like no other, complete with beautiful portraits as a token of our time together. I must now decide where I want to market myself and my photography.

A Very Long Break

Because my blog is a "photoblog" used to showcase my photographic accomplishments and activities- I have not been posting the last couple of weeks. Not that I haven't had any accomplishments or activities, I just haven't taken many photographs. In the preparation(retouching & printing) of my final portfolio and the review of my portfolio prior to graduation, I've spent very little time behind the camera. But I vow to pick my camera up and shoot something everyday for the last 7 days that I will have use of Hallmark's Canon 5D! I will graduate on June 25, ending one chapter of my photographic career and beginning a new one. I am very excited about what comes next. Stay tuned...

Play date with Addison

56 minutes, 251 shutter presses, 27 different uncomfortable positions on the floor = 1 portfolio quality environmental portrait! Thanks Addison

This morning I made a house call to visit Baby Addison, or Addi as her mother so affectionately calls her. I needed an environmental portrait for my final portfolio and I thought a baby in a nursery would be perfect. This is my second time photographing "Addi" and she was great the first time and even better this go round. She has an adorable nursery with lots of window light.

Clowning Around

Today the studio was like a circus-Literally! I had the pleasure of photographing "Flash" the clown. I wanted to try something a little different, so I went with a low key portrait for my colorful friend. Thanks Phil for making the drive. Continue making people smile.

The Great Escape

I traveled to Alabama by car 2 weekends ago(which I have yet to blog about) and had a fabulous time seeing friends and family and taking great photographs. But it wasn't much of a vacation. Between the drive and all the shooting when I got there, there was not a whole lot of time to sit and relax. Time to sit and look at the body of work I've created and really decide what I like. So I decided to see if I could have some of that time this weekend in Cape Cod. This is my first visit to the Cape and its going to be a very short visit. I am trying to get interior photographs for my portfolio. The resort I'm at is very nice. I am going to do a little exploring this afternoon. Great pics to come!

My High Key Reshoot

My FINAL portfolio is due in just over 2 weeks. I have images for all but 1 of my assignments, but I am still shooting everyday up until the very end! I am loving my work more and more everyday! I want to say thanks to Sheena for volunteering her time and wardrobe to help me pull this one off. You were great Sheena.
