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?

Screen shot 2009-10-22 at 11.55.23 AM.pngAlso something cute was done by a good friend of mine, Rebecca Reed, this morning at LSD as well. Our friend, Mandaree, who teaches at the school for the deaf just got engaged the other day (CONGRATS MANDAREE & STEVEN!) and Rebecca/and some other teachers pitched in for a gift certificate for a Tate Tullier Photography session!

Here's what was inside the card given to Mandaree - I just thought it was such creative writing and of course, flattering!

I thought this might brighten your day... the gift of Tate always puts a smile on someone's face - time to return the favor!
This is what the card we gave her said:

Bling! Bling!  You got the ring!
And now there's just one more thing...

You've got the dude, you've got the date,
All that's left is to get shot by Tate!

Wake up early Saturday with minimal fuss,
and enjoy your engagement shoot on us!

Love of love,
(a bunch of us)
