Welcome to Tamara Kate Photography​

We are passionate about candid, real photos that evoke feeling.

We seek truth and stories in our photos.  

We love real life and heart-felt, authentic bonds between people.  If  you are having a "real" moment with your loved ones.....we will capture that moment in preference to posing something contrived.  We have experience and a quiet mindfulness to tune-in, observe and capture what is unraveling.   We also have confidence to give direction when needed.

We want you to enjoy yourself and relate to the images.

We give you a generous collection of images that document you and the connection you share with those around you.  We focus not just on the directed "wall shots" but images that tell a genuine heart-felt story of a moment in time. Whether it be your wedding day, maternity, newborn, birth, baby or family shoot, we take this approach with all our work.

We believe that the core essence of photographs is creating them for you, the person in them, so you have a documentation of your real life and your feelings at that moment in time.  

We are passionately obsessed with the technical aspects of photography so that we create images that are real, meaningful and truthful but also professional and look amazing.

We  cover the broad Cairns region, including Palm Cove, Atherton Tablelands, Port Douglas, Mission Beach and Fitzroy Island

We are a small, personable and friendly team and would love to meet you.  It would be our honour to be invited to document your real life in photographs.
​


Weddings

We love to capture the connection you share with each other and those around you.  Our approach is to focus on candid natural moments.  We much prefer catching you having a "real" moment than a stiff, awkward pose. 

We provide two (2) photographers because two sets of eyes for scanning and being present to capture natural moments is better than one set.  We cover a lot more in a shorter amount of time than one photographer can possibly.

We respect that it is a wedding day and not a photoshoot.
​
We take time to get to know you, so we can create relaxed and natural photographs that reflect your true self.

Tam likes to always meet clients for a face to face catch up before your big day.

We love to create a generous collection of images that reflect not only how you looked on your wedding day but how you felt.

​Contact us and we can have a chat and get to know all about your day.

Family Lifestyle​

For family lifestyle sessions we love taking a collection of images of you and your family feeling natural and relaxed in your happy place.  We provide a generous collection of photographs that capture the story of you and your loves at that moment in time.  We include both directed and candid shots.

We love to document maternity, birth, newborn, baby and everyday family life.  

There is no need to have a major milestone to capture family lifestyle photographs.  In fact we love taking images of you riding bikes with the kids, jumping on the trampoline and just having fun in your normal, everyday life.  

​It is the ordinary moments of today that become the extraordinary, beautiful memories of tomorrow.

We would love to hear your story and work out a creative way to capture your family.

Let us capture your life.

​What Clients Have Said:

"Dear Tam,
​Thank you again for the photography you did at our wedding at Kewarra Beach Resort.  Monica and I appreciated your energy and enthusiasm, and that you clearly approach photography as a passion rather than just a profession.
We have been showing the photos to our friends and relatives during the Christmas break and they agree with us that you produce many impressive images.  They also comment that you clearly know the idyllic spots within the resort and how to bring out the best in your subjects.  We have already labelled a few photos for enlargement and framing within our house.
(Kent + Monica - 2016)"



"Dear Tam
We honestly can't thank you enough for our photos.  We have been going through them all weekend and can't get enough of them.  Trying to decide which extra special ones we'll get printed etc is so hard because we just love them all.  You are amazing and we are so happy we chose you to do our photos.   (Carla + Ash - 2016)"
