WELCOME!

Hi! I am Jen Tate and I am so excited to welcome you to the
smileabunch photography blog!

I have been a picture fanatic forever.

I love that I can look at a picture and transport right back to that

place and time and remember it all!

And when I became a mom, I realized that I no longer just loved pictures,

I needed them!

Baby stages, childhood and life all fly by so quickly,

and I just didn't want to forget a single second

(if you are a parent I bet you can relate, unless you have teenagers.

But even then, I bet you wish they were still little...haha, I'm kidding, mostly)!

Well, I decided if I was going to take all these gazillions of pictures,

I wanted them to be AMAZING.

Because, well, I am kind of a perfectionist! 

So I learned how to REALLY take pictures

...

and now I have a permanent growth on my face that has a striking resemblance to a camera!

I am all about fun and capturing the adventure of life just as it is,

so, if you're up for an adventure,

come along for the ride!
