We believe that when you’re looking for a photographer, you’re looking for someone who’s going to capture things the way you envision it. You want a vision that takes the emotion and captures it with a story that’s timeless. You want interactions to be caught at the split moment they are expressed and with someone who will make you (and yours) feel comfortable in front of the camera. You may not exactly know how to achieve it, but you want someone who’s willing to invest the interest to feel what you feel, think what you think, and ultimately become an extension of you. Someone who will take the moment and create portraits that are real, authentic, creative, timeless and drenched with emotion.
The experience is different with every session and it’s important for us to understand what you’re trying to capture and we customize the session around that.
- If you’re a high school senior, we get to let loose and celebrate your big year! We find cool places to hang out, build in your personality and capture that dynamic transition in your life. Bring your guitar, cheerleading outfit, your favorite scarf, a football, friends, or even your dog. You’ll have fun, we promise!
- If you’re a family, a session with us should be time to play, joke, dance, sing, jump and laugh. The result…beautiful, interactive testament of this time. The way your 6 month old laughs at your funny noises, the way your 3 year old acts shy at first and then plays with her favorite stuffed animal, the way your 10 year old rides his skateboard and the way you and your husband laugh when the kids tickle YOU! We create memories as we hold that time still and priceless.
- Our landscape photography is original and refreshing. Most of the images were shot in western North Carolina, but we love to travel and we always have our cameras! Murray’s Mill in Catawba, NC is one of our favorite places (and home), but we like to specialize in getting images everywhere that shows what a beautiful world God has given us.
About Us
Sam and Cindy Tallman are the husband and wife team that make up Tallman Photography. Married for over 30 years, we are best friends that never get tired of each other’s company. Whether we are traveling and enjoying the world around us, looking for that special antique, or just hanging in our “serenity garden”, our hearts always beat as one.
The canine partner in Tallman Photography and the “dog” in 2photographersandadog is of course Bella. She is a constant and faithful companion on most all of the landscape and outdoor photo shoots. She is willing to go just about anywhere, in all kinds of weather. She is never, ever critical, and is very, very patient on location. In fact, the only time she shows her displeasure is when it is time to come home. There she provides encouragement with a quick wag of her tail, and is an excellent foot warmer on cold winter days. Her love is unconditional and complete, and we can only hope that we are worthy of her affection.
