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?

I did this session for the Jackson family (who reside in South Dakota!) while they were down South visiting Andy and JJ back in June. Sherry gave birth to MacKenzie last week so we are very happy for them.

I almost LOVE editing photos AFTER a baby is born, it feels even more special when looking at photos of a pregnant lady - knowing the kid has popped out. SWEET.

Thank you Brian and Sherry for allowing me to photograph your maternity session.

This one is a candid shot, for sure! Sherry hates bugs and she noticed a wasp above her (on the right, where you can see the wasps nest on the left) and I just thought it was a funny-cute reaction shot!

Just finished Ashley and Dan's maternity photos! Their son, Chase, has been born and will be meeting with me this afternoon to do his first baby photos. The timing was perfect and I just love how these turned out.

Enjoy.

Candice is an old high school friend who has fallen into love with photography so we re-connected a few years back. She & her husband, Josh were living in North Carolina and just moved to Oklahoma. They were in town visiting a friend of theirs and she had contacted me asking if I'd be home that weekend - I was! In other words, I'm so excited I was able to do Candice's maternity photos. They are looking SO good.

Here is a preview for them/y'all to enjoy! They are Full of LOVE, evidently!

I love your new blog site. I am always a fan of your work, so looking forward to seeing more from you. I especially love the last pic with the nature scattered across the floor toward the couple on the swing . . . it just adds that touch of a "stolen moment" feeling.
