Copyright Information
Copyright Information
All images copyrighted by photographer, Tamara Tigner Photography. It is illegal and unlawful to scan, copy, or reproduce Tamara Tigner Photography work in any manner or medium and punishable by law with fines starting at $150,000. As an artist, Tamara Tigner Photography wishes to have complete control over the final look of her clients’ images, and scanned images damage her reputation as a photographer by distorting and devaluing the image quality.
Furthermore, photography is Tamara Tigner Photography livelihood, how she supports her family. One or two people scanning may not have an effect on her business, but imagine if it were more than one or two people. That would have an impact on her business, as well as her family.
“But don’t I own images of my own child?”
When a photographer takes images of you or your child, the images are copyrighted. You have the permission to hang the images up in your home and enjoy them; you do not have permission to make copies of the images. This includes home printers or printers at local camera shops and convenience stores (such as Rite Aid, Wal-Mart, etc). We keep in close contact with local stores, letting them know that we are to be alerted when issues of copyright come up in their stores.
In conclusion, Tamara Tigner Photography wishes that all images carrying her name look their absolute best. She goes to great lengths to provide you with top-quality, beautiful images that you are proud to display and share. Copying and scanning these images greatly reduces their beauty and quality. Please contact her if you would like additional images of your child.
Thank you for respecting Tamara Tigner Photography work and livelihood by choosing not to reproduce her images.

Newborn Information
Newborn Information Form – Studio
Congratulations and thank you for choosing Tamara Tigner Photography to photograph the most fleeting stage of your child's life ... the first few weeks. Below, I have enclosed the information pertaining to a newborn session at our studio. It is my hope that you will find this information helpful as you prepare for our session together. If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.
• Please feed your baby before you arrive so that he or she has a full tummy. Also, if you'd like shots of your baby undressed, please undress him/her and loosen diaper, then wrap your baby in a blanket, and feed him/her. Weather permitting, of course. Otherwise, your baby may get upset at being undressed when they were so cozy. I do like to photograph a newborn mostly in little to no clothes, but feel free to bring an outfit that you may want him or her in. Please note that many clothing changes may make your little one upset, so it is best to do birthday suit shots and possibly one outfit.
• I often use the parents as backdrops for baby, so please wear a black top and black pants (if possible). Also, an extra set of clothes for the parents is a good idea, just in case. Mom and dad are welcome to join for pictures with baby at no extra charge.
• Please know that there is no rush with a newborn session. I like to give special attention to each client, especially newborn sessions. Please know that I do not mind waiting for you to nurse or change baby, or taking a break to soothe your baby.
• When doing the poses where the baby is undressed, it is normal (and okay!) for him or her to "relieve" him or herself on my backdrop ... or anywhere else. I can assure you this happens all the time and I am not upset or offended. Please bring with you baby wipes, extra diapers and a towel. After each newborn session I am sure to launder all of my backdrops and other items the baby comes in contact with. This is included in the session fee for a newborn session.
• Please only bring those who are to be photographed to the studio. Also, cameras and other recording devices are not permitted.
• Please bring something for the older children to do while they are not being photographed. Crayons, mini board games, and books are good choices.
• Lastly, please bring a list of “must haves” images (close-ups with feet and hands, with someone, etc.)
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call or email me. My phone number is 405-406-3251 and my email is threeliltigs@aol.com
Thank you and congratulations again on your new addition!
