Tamara Russell
Hi! I am Tamara Russell and I have been a Professional Photographer for 15+ years. I am also a Graphic Designer. My passions for both of these overlapping Digital Media fields give me a way to create and practice both crafts. This is where the Montage and Composite photography come together with my passion for photography. I love taking everyday action and portraiture photos and creating a photo that highlights the athlete/students passions and skills in one place.
The spring is a special time of year, I have been doing Youth Sports Banners for 15 years, it all started with a single Cooperstown Banner. Today I specialize in Backstop Banners for several local organizations. It fills my passion to create new backgrounds and see the players progressing in a sport we share a passion for, year after year.
I have 3 boys who played multiple sports between them through collegiate levels, this is where the sports action photography took root a mere 23 years ago. Today I covers all levels and kind of Sporting Events as well. Tamara is also the Team and Individual photographer for South Denver area High and Middle Schools. Sports are an integral part of my life and passions.
Enough about me I want to hear about you and your Senior/Student/Athlete. Contact me at (303) 888-6369.
