Tammi Nowack Photography Photoblog

It’s been awhile since I’ve updated my blog, so I thought it was time to play a little catch-up.  Life has been in the cray cray zone lately with all the end-of-the-school year madness, am I right?  It seems like every day there’s another field trip, another permission slip, another end-of-the-year event to attend as we head down this final stretch of May.  Life has been hectic with photo orders, Saturday soccer games, days at the lake, piano recitals, and daily life – and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

At the beginning of last month, we went to the beach for our Spring Break. It was a much-needed time of R&R.  Our family is L.A.Z.Y. at the beach.  We spent our days in the sun – building sand castles, swimming and snorkeling, taking naps and reading.  Definitely my idea of the perfect vacation.

Last weekend was the Rabun Gap Nacoochee School annual Cirque performance.  What an incredibly talented group of kids.  This year’s production was Cirque Miwitu, an adaptation of Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book.  It’s hard to believe that these talented performers are only in high school – and many of them are middle schoolers.  We enjoyed the production immensely.

There was prom a few weeks ago too….here’s a photo of my volleyball girls that I coach. They’re pretty special.

Also, did I mention that I was pregnant?

Baby boy #4 will be here in less than 6 weeks! Yikes!

A happy and hectic May to you!

Just a few shots from a session last night with local blues band The RamCats….Happy Wednesday!

I was completely thrilled when longtime clients Meagan & Stuart invited me back to Albany earlier this month to photograph the birth of their newest blessing. I first met this lovely little family when I photographed the birth of their daughter Sophia 2 years ago, and have since photographed them a few more times since then (see here, or here, or here).  They are truly some of my most treasured clients and I am glad to count them as friends as well.  Even after not seeing them for several months, as I walked into Meagan’s birthing suite at the hospital we picked up right where we left off, laughing and joking (AFTER Meagan’s epidural, that is) until it was time to get down to biz-nass.
Stuart, Meagan — thank you again for allowing me to be a part of such a monumental moment in your lives. Congratulations on your beautiful daughter.

Meagan & Stuart decided to NOT find out the gender of their baby, so when it finally came time to push they were both so excited to find out whether they were having a son or a daughter.  Stu was so giddy with excitement he was literally rubbing his hands together in anticipation.

If you’re in the Albany area and are looking for an ob/gyn you absolutely must check out Women’s Health Professionals.

Lynette delivered both of Megan’s babies, and she was also my midwife during my last pregnancy in Albany and she is so absolutely fan-freaking-tastic!  There really is no better in all of  Albany.

IT’S A GIRL!!

Since no one knew the gender of the baby, M&S decided to keep the fun going and not share the names that they had picked out either.

After everyone was settled, the family came in with big sister Sophia to meet the baby.  Stuart gave Sophia a gift from the baby – he read the card aloud, which was signed at the end, “love, your little sister Cecelia”….who just so happens to be named after her grandma (Meagan’s momma).  She was so surprised.  Lots of family members, two nurses, and one photographer and there was not a dry eye in the room. Such a special moment….

Congratulations Franklin family.

Just a little sneak peek for some of my Albany clients that were able to book sessions with me last weekend.  I had such a great time visiting the ‘bany again…and to my clients: I really do love seeing all of you and being able to photograph your families as they grow.  I am truly thankful for each of you and count so many of you as dear friends.  Happy Thanksgiving!
