Inspired Images – Photography by Tammi Hayne bio picture
  • Inspired by Love ~ Inspired by Life

    People realized even at a very early age, that I had "an eye" for composing images and photography is a passion for me that continues to grow. Over the years my work has evolved and I feel I've developed a unique style. I love it when people say they have viewed an image of mine and knew immediately that I took it.

    I believe in sharing the beautiful moments in life and welcome the opportunity to capture your memories for you so they can be preserved and relived again and again.

    Please note I am based in the Halifax Regional Municipality but available for travel to other areas.

Cousins Family – Halifax Family Portrait Photography

Finally Mother Nature cooperated with us! Pauline had contacted me back in February to discuss a spring family portrait session and when our intended date finally arrived we unfortunately were plagued with rain. We rescheduled for the following Sunday but again, Mother Nature brought us showers. Finally, we lucked out with the weather this past Sunday as the weather was ideal…not too hot, not too cold and just the right temperature and lighting for a great outdoor shoot along Halifax’s waterfront. The family of three (well, four if you include their cute dog, Jack) live in the area and so the Halifax waterfront is literally their backyard and their son, Will’s, playground. We had fun walking along the waterfront and Will was great at finding great spots to take some photos. As you can tell from the shots I was able to capture, he’s definitely photogenic and a great subject to photograph because even at the young age of just five, he’s a natural in front of the camera – posing and hamming it up:-)

Leanne & Gabriel – Halifax Wedding Photography

Leanne and Gabriel were married on a beautiful spring day just as all the flowers were blooming but not even the gently falling rain could dampen their spirits as they exchanged vows before their family and friends at the Prince George Hotel in downtown Halifax. Those who love them most came from near and far…Mexico and Louisiana just to name a couple. Leanne looked stunning in her fitted dress and Gabriel equally handsome – what a beautiful couple. Two very special guests at the wedding were Gabriel’s two young sons, Gabriel Jr. and Fernando and there was no doubt in anyone’s mind that they are just as smitten with Leanne as their Dad. After exchanging vows we stepped out to the terrace for some photos and then everyone enjoyed an amazing meal which was followed by an evening of dancing to latin music. Oh…and in case you think you’re seeing double, you aren’t. Gabriel’s identical twin brother, Raphael was his best man. In fact, the only way I could tell them apart was that Gabriel (the groom) was wearing a white boutonniere and Raphael was wearing a purple one.

Point Pleasant Park – Halifax Family Portrait Photography

Jill contacted me about getting some family portraits taken – something their family had never done before so I was thrilled when she chose me! She and her husband have two energetic little boys and it was both challenging and fun to try to capture their personalities while we walked our way through Point Pleasant Park on a blustery spring day. The weather had been threatening rain all day long but at the last minute we decided to go for it and thankfully the rain held off until we were finished our shoot. As you can see, they definitely have great smiles:-)

K - :) The one of the two boys running away is my very favourite.

New Arrival – Dartmouth Family Portrait Photography

Two years ago I had the pleasure of photographing two beautiful and spirited little girls along with their parents, one autumn day. We had fun playing in the backyard and rolling around in the leaves. I was so excited when their Mom contacted me a few weeks ago to let me know that the little girls were now big sisters and that their family had welcomed a son to the mix. As you can see from the following captures, the girls are definitely smitten with their little brother!

The Gang’s All Here – Dartmouth Family Portraits

I first met Leanne and Gabriel when they contacted me about being their wedding photographer. With their wedding less than a week away they asked me if I could take some casual photographs at their home as Gabriel’s parents had arrived from Mexico for their son’s wedding. I also had the pleasure of meeting Gabriel’s two sons (how cute are they going to be all dressed up in a tuxedo?) and I’m really excited to have been asked to be a part of their wedding day. I know it is going to be a wonderful celebration!
