Welcome Get Shot By Tate!
Since you MUST know about me...... I'll talk about what kind of photographer I am. I'm the kid who hated traditional crap. I hated the concept of doing wedding photography. I wanted to do high fashion and naked people - and that WAS IT. Fast Forward to ten + years later....... I'm doing weddings, naked people (but it's always tasteful..... or at least I think it is) and I do SOME traditional stuff. I like to think my traditional stuff is twisted. Ok, it's not traditional. Call it what you want to call it, but I don't like the WORD - traditional. My wife does. She's twisted traditional. My work is my work. I don't like rules. It's hard for me to play by the rules when I'm doing photography. I think that's what keeps it so fun for me. I tell the parents of my senior shoots that I dislike cap and gown shots (was I supposed to do that?) but I still do them because I know they love those. ;-) I think you get the drift of what kind of photographer I am. I may think I'm way more radical than I am, but let me think I'm just ubercool and not traditional. Okay?

This is a cool story.

Me and Kelsey's mom - Kristina, somehow became acquainted on Twitter through some #FollowFriday Louisiana thing - and she discovered my work just in time for me to do her daughter's senior portraits!

Boy, am I glad! Kelsey was tons of fun and game for anything. 

These are some of my faves of her.

BTW -  Kristina (Kelsey's mom) does real estate so if you're in need of a house - beep her! She also has a blog at Jambalya Wire!

Tate, I can't begin to thank you enough for these! You captured my Kelsey at her truest! This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. I wanted to remember her at who she is today...a smiling, fearless, fun 17 year old!

THANK YOU LYNN AND TRAVIS for choosing me! Thank you to everyone else for providing such an animated scene for me and the couple!

I don't know if you are 'traditionally untraditional' or 'untraditionally traditional' -- but either way... I love them! You've captured the feeling, the emotion and some thought-provoking moments! Thanks for sharing!

On the plane over - I had some photos on my desktop so I did a quick edit of them to post up! I'm so behind on showcasing all the photos we did in Rio but man - I've been busy!

We went to Ipanema Beach and met with Antonia & Pedro, then afterwards we spent the whole afternoon with them and did a stroll/dinner. We were so exhausted from the sun that we returned to our hotel in Copacabana and called it an early night! The sun is so powerful there!
