Tam's Birthday Session

Tam was one of the first friends I made when we moved to Raleigh. She’s been a faithful ear and has called me on my negative self-talk. She’s loved on Autumn and welcomed us into the community group she led with her husband at church. She’s a wife, praise and worship leader, career woman, and now blogger. The girl wears many hats, and I love her to LIFE! Today, we get to celebrate her.

I loved the glam look Tam chose to kick off her session. A woman stopped her in the garden and asked what the occasion was. She seemed surprised to learn that Tam wore all black for her birthday session. I beg to disagree. Tam’s sequined off-shoulder top and full tulle skirt were dripping with elegance and then she topped it off with a jeweled necklace and earrings. I love when my clients play with accessories to complete their looks. Every detail Tam added was gorgeous. And, if it’s your birthday, wear black if you want to! This woman was servin it up!

Towards the end of the session, Tam hopped into my changing tent for a more casual look. She played up a simple white tee and jeans by adding gold jewelry, hoops, a pair of her favorite specs, and a head scarf for a pop of color. After trading her pumps for a nude sandal, she was ready to walk the gardens again.
