a look behind the scenes

My name is tammi swanson. I am a photographer, a children's clothing designer, and a stylist. I have also been a model, and a hair and makeup artist. My life, it seems, has always been surrounded by photo shoots and the fashion industry. My passion is children's editorial photography, and children's clothing. The stylist in me is always searching for the perfect items for photo shoots, so I have finally decided to turn my ideas into a children's collection. I see the end result, which is the photo shoot, in my head, and that is where I begin. I describe my designs to my pattern maker, we work out all of the details, and then I shoot the pieces the way I have them envisioned. It's all about creating a story, the mood, the beauty of childhood. I love the children in rennaisance paintings, pale sea and sand colors and tree-lined paths. I love formal gardens, small towns, farms and the countryside. Hopefully, some of you love these things too. This blog will tell the behind the scenes story of how it all comes together. Including what's really going on before, during, and after the photo shoots!

New bloomers, halter top and clothing labels!

We decided to add some cute little bloomers underneath the Mia tulle skirt for toddlers. They are so cute, I can't wait to photograph them on a cute little girl. This one is on it's way out the door, but I managed to get a few still shots. We also added this halter top to go with any of the skirts and it's made to match. This one is in a Gris/Blue dupioni silk. It is gorgeous! We haven't even named them yet and I'm going to have to start asking for help with that as I am running out of names!
