~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When I started Face On By Tamara, I was a housewife with limited resources, but I took my little camera and my makeup case and asked someone if I could make them over. After that, it started to evolve into something much greater. I couldn’t stop, it was almost like an outreach, I felt so rewarded and I’m so passionate about it.
I have experienced a lot of ups and downs in life, and have learned from my mistakes as well as my successes. In fact, I learn something new every day. I have to think outside the box, borrowing props and making sets out of things from around my home. I have worked very hard every day for five years to make Face On By Tamara happen. I started with a Canon Powershot camera and used that camera for the first year of my career. I had no equipment, no studio, just me and my camera. But I was driven, I knew I had it in me, and I wanted to prove I could do this. I have upgraded, and now use professional Canon equipment, but it’s still pretty much me and my camera.
Although professional models are beautiful and easy to photograph, most women are not the typical, beautiful (perfect) model, but to me I know with the right attitude and the ability to use makeup, every single woman has the potential to look and feel beautiful. Shooting an average woman compared to a professional model is so much more rewarding. I love shooting models, too, but there is something about making an average woman simply light up.
I feel like God gave me a gift, and I want to use it to help other women. I have felt ugly and broken in the past. I know what it's like to have low self-esteem. It’s amazing what a friend, some makeup, and photos can do for your inner soul. When I have a client that has never done a photo shoot before and feels unattractive, looks into a mirror after I give her a makeover, and then emits cries of pure joy—that’s the most amazing feeling in the world. Every woman has it deep in her soul and just needs a little help getting it out. I can’t explain how rewarding it is to have women tell me I made them feel and look beautiful.
Most of my clients are stay-at-home mothers, the girl next door, brides, and just “normal women” wanting to look amazing. One of my first clients I shot was a shy woman with low self-esteem; after she looked into the mirror and cried, she looked at me with tears in her eyes, and said, “thank you, Tamara, for bringing me back.” I don’t just put makeup on them, snap a few pictures, and send them off. I become a friend ; I love to take the day to spend one-on-one time with my client. I put my heart and soul into every photo shoot.
It was my vision in the beginning to help people—use my gifts and talents to inspire them—and it still is. I want to be remembered not just as a photographer, but a woman that had such great passion for making women feel beautiful, for making people laugh, and giving people memories they can cherish for a lifetime.
Now, not only do I have fun living my passion and dream, but also make a living at it. I am very blessed.
