Thank you for visiting, my name is Meridith Tiede and I am a portrait photographer in training living in the Dallas area. At this time I don't have a studio so I concentrate on natural light, location photography. I have just begun exploring the craft of photography, and would love your feedback.



I am a mom of three children, two sons who are deaf (both have the miracle of hearing because of the grace of God, and cochlear implant technology), and a daughter who hears too well. I do work full time with Campus Crusade for Christ at Josh McDowell Ministry, where I am able to be creative as well as challenged every day.

baby boy + 3 weeks = so sweet

I had the pleasure last weekend of taking photos of this little guy and his big sister and mommy. He was very cooperative and we had a lot of fun with his shoot.

Portfolio Photo Shoot

This is Abigail, she is an aspiring model and I was asked to take some photos for her portfolio.
We found a fun location and had a great time taking these.

Dance Pictures

Sophie wanted some pictures in each of her dance costumes so we did them on show days after rehearsal while she was already dressed and made up. These were a lot of fun!

i heart faces cell phone challenge

The challenge this week is to take a picture with your cell phone. I got the the hipstamatic app for my phone a long time ago and this is the first photo I have posted using it. I love it, and don't know why I haven't posted anything before!

This is my soccer star after his game yesterday...

i heart faces smile challenge



This week the challenge at i heart faces is smiles. What good timing, the kids really smiled when it started snowing on Sunday. I made them wait to play until I snapped a few pictures of them in our Texas blizzard. Then they went to town playing and I took a million more pictures!

i heart faces...orange photo challenge


This week the challenge at i heart faces is orange. I love orange and the first picture I thought of was this one that I took of Jake a while back. I love the way he is concentrating so hard on making the hook'em sign, too bad our horns are playing so bad this year...
