Hiring a photographer can be stressful especially when I comes to some of the biggest moments in your life. How do you choose?-- Well I think the easiest way to choose is to find someone whose work you love but also someone you can truly get to know and make a connection with. -- This post will allow you to get to know me- Tiffany Bumgardner as a photographer as well as how I came to photography, what I look for when making an image, and what I photograph.

As a photographer abroad working under a professional photographer and exposed to multiple other photographers from a renowned travel photographer to the then coordinator of photography and film for the Institute of Shipboard Education, also known as Semester at Sea, I had the opportunity an incredible fortune to learn from some of the best. Which is something I would never have been exposed to if I had remained in my hometown if I hadn’t jumped headlong into my entirely quick adventure plan.
In a burst of randomness and desire to travel and study abroad I applied for a program called Semester at Sea. One of my high school national honors societies was giving away a scholarship to a student accepted on the program so I was in a frame of why not, I’d get to go abroad and if selected for the scholarship I would have help paying for it.
It is hard to believe that it has been 10 years since I lived and completed that program. Traveled to 10+ countries and got to be a nomad of a sort. I miss it, I miss the travel, the locations, the photography, and the freedom.
