Hi, my name is Tate.

I am a photographer, Farmer's wife and momma of three littles(and two crazy pups!) A huge bonus in my line of work is having young, crazy kids. Nothing your kids do during your session will surprise me and I've learned some tricks along the way in my own parenting that helps the session move along. I've decided I just have to match or exceed their crazy. It's embarrassing for me, but great fun to witness for all of you. You are most welcome.

I am the oldest daughter and the oldest grandchild on both sides of my family. I'm a pisces sun, but a Leo moon and my nickname as a child was tour guide Tate. It is natural and fitting that I ended up being the creative director of small, chaotic humans. I have been photographing families since 2016 and newborns since 2018. Which seems crazy to say! Time flies. My studio is located in Fennville on my husband's family farm which is the backdrop for a solid 75% of all the photos you see.

I am a person with a few different hats! Along with being a mom and photographer, I also can be found with my hands in greenhouse dirt working for my parents in the spring. We bring annual flowers, veggies, mums and holiday porch pots to the Holland Farm Market seasonally. Look for Alive Growers across from the civic center when you visit! I also work at my friend's shop, Endora, in Douglas. If you are like me and have an unhealthy addiction to beautiful earrings and yummy smelling candles please check it out.

When I am not working or being a wife & mom I enjoy many forms of concerts/live music, reading an excessive amount of books and am always down for good food with friends! If you're from out of town some of my favorite local spots are Salt of the Earth in Fennville or Phil's in Saugatuck.
