Hi, I'm Tiffany

I'm a wife and a mother. Photography and digital design are my passion. I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I got married in 2008 to the man of my dreams and we had our first son, James, in 2010. I started getting involved in portrait photography over a decade ago through the generosity of friends who were willing to allow me to use them to "experiment" on. More recently, I've been working as a portrait and wedding photographer. I have a real passion for studio photography and love to create beautiful images that others will cherish for the rest of their lives. The best feeling? Seeing the look on someone's face when they catch a glimpse of what I've created for them and knowing that they've fallen in love with it. Well, that, and seeing my little boy smile.

Why I am a Mormon

I became a Mormon when I was 15 years old, along with my mother and my 14-year-old brother. I lived in an area where there were plenty of religious people, but very few Mormons. When the missionaries contacted us, I knew nothing of the beliefs of the Church. At the time, I didn't have a burning desire to associate myself with any religious organization, but once I started learning about the gospel, that quickly changed. It didn't take long for me to receive the impression that this was definitely a good path to take in my life. Since then, I have strived to live worthy of the Holy Spirit so that I can continually feel those sweet feelings that prompted me to change so long ago.

How I live my faith

First and foremost, I live my faith in my home. My husband and I read the scriptures and pray together daily so that we may, as a couple, draw closer to our Savior and have his Spirit in our home with us. I also show my love for my Savior by serving others. I am currently serving on a committee that sees to the needs of women at church. We take a special interest in those who have recently become mothers by trying to provide them with emotional support and other resources that may help them as they transition into this new role in life.

How can we stop the spread and influence of pornography?

Tiffany answered...

We can all begin by keeping all forms of immodest or immoral media out of our homes. In our house, we don't own or watch any R-rated movies, nor do we subscribe to premium television channels. We also have a protection filter on our internet that will block inappropriate web content. This is a personal decision that my husband and I have made together. It allows us to enjoy good, clean entertainment freely without being overly concerned that something immoral is going to pop up unexpectedly. I feel strongly that we can all make a difference by controlling what we watch. My motto is that if we don't watch it, they'll stop making it.

I frequently hear people say that we need to protect children from pornography. That statement is true, but it forgets that adults are also damaged by the self-gratifying attitudes that pornography depicts. Pornography changes how we view each other. We should be politely vocal about our desire to avoid pornography. Pornography should not be forced upon us by our friends, government, employment, or entertainers. But it will be if we don't speak up about our values.

What is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' attitude regarding homosexuality and same sex marriage?

Jenny answered...

My father is gay and I have many friends who are gay. Though we have some differing opinions and beliefs, we have a great relationship - each respecting the other's right to choose their own way. Its no secret that the Church does not support gay marriage. We believe that God's plan for the family is, always has been and always will be a man and a woman and their children. However, the perception that the church is anti-gay is inaccurate. We support the rights of all men and woman to exercise their free agency and be entitled to the same legal rights as anyone, as long as they don't erode the principles on which our country was founded - freedom of religion. The scriptures affirm that homosexual behaviors are a sin, but I believe Christ understands the extreme difficulty that a gay person would experience refusing to act upon their same-sex attraction. I also believe that through Him, all things are possible and that no person is unworthy or undeserving of His love and the benefits of His atonement.
