The Photographer

My name is Tamra Hyde.  I have been married to my wonderful husband for 14 years.  We have six beautiful children.  They were my initial inspiration for my photography and continue to be willing subjects. ;-)

I have been an artist all of my life.  Photography is just another medium, another avenue of expression.  I love developing my talent in more and more creative ways.

The “T” Family- Utah Family Photographer -Celebrating Adoption

This brave family showed up to do their family portraits in the rain! We had so much fun playing in the rain together and photographing whatever chose to happen.  I had such a good time and I hope the family did too!

May 26, 2010 - 8:21 pm Momma T - That is so funny, I really am glad that it captured the craziness of my life day in and day out. A perfectly posed picture would have really just made my life look so easy! I love the one of baby E and I and the one where the family is sitting. Thank you for sharing this exciting and rainy day with us!

June 3, 2010 - 3:40 am Jennifer Parke - What an adorable family! I love that you were able to catch the real life shot and the very talented dad! Oh and those umbrellas are too freaking cute!

The Evans Family- Utah Family Photographer

What a pleasure it was to have the opportunity to photograph the Evans family.  They were wonderful throughout the photo session, expecially the two sweet kids. I had a ball making them smile and laugh.  This session took place at Murray Park. This was my first time shooting at Murray park and I really enjoyed it.

The Mendez Family- Utah Family Photographer

What a sweet little family I got to photograph this weekend.  I felt so bad because I kept getting the little boy’s name wrong! No wonder he didn’t want to look at me! The older daughter is so photogenic.  I really enjoyed our session even though we were all cold! Thank goodness we didn’t have any snow.
