Photography, Children's Book Author
Photography is my emotional and mental therapy and allows me to be free of everyday life and focus on nature, travel, and wildlife. When I have a camera in my hand, nothing else in the world exists, and I can spend a full day just taking in and photographing the little things everyone else takes for granted. You can see what inspires me by going here: https://www.facebook.com/tammyscudderphotgraphy
I love children, and have been lucky enough to have many young children in my life. When my first grandchild came along in 2023, I wanted to do something special for my daughter, so I wrote a series of children's books focused on kindness. The 15 book series, "Little Acts of Kindness, Learning to Be Kind at a Young Age," can be purchased on Amazon.
