Meet Tira J!
Click on the video below to see me in action with the Shahbaz Quads, who definitely keep me on my toes! It may take a while to load, so be patient, as it is worth the wait. Special thanks goes out to Todd Chessum of Chessum Design who did this amazing video of me photographing the quadruplets. Todd was a blast to work with, and I was head over heels when I first saw this video. Enjoy!

Hi there! You can call me Tira J, TJ, or just Tira, (tear-uh)
You landed at this page to learn a little more about who I am, as a person, friend, but most importantly, a photographer. I am a lifestyle portrait photographer based in Southern California and have been immersed in the photography business since I was a little girl. I am based out of the Inland Empire and specialize in little ones, high school & college seniors, families, and commission a few weddings a year. My father was an award winning professional photographer who loved to photograph us as a family and old barns when we were on road trips across the country or anything that landed in front of his camera. I learned from the best! I took it upon myself in my later years, to immerse myself back into the passion he was so dedicated to, and that is, was, and will forever be, photography. I am thankful for the time I was able to spend with my father, to love him, learn from him, and grow into a better photographer.
Now, on to who I am today as your photographer! My camera is an extension of my heart, and it allows me to capture the memories that you and your family want to remember for the rest of your life. Whether it be your first born who just came into this world, your first born who is now going off to college, or your family coming together as one, I want to capture all of these unforgettable memories. The days of posing you for your photographs are over, it is my responsibility to capture who you are in your life, "capturing life as it happens". I use my camera, just as a painter uses his paintbrush, to create art. Art that will eventually be displayed in your homes, shared with your friends and families, and that will be treasured forever.
I hope that you will continue coming back to learn even more about my photography, and me, as this blogsite is an extension of who I am.

Living Simply
This past week, I was exposed to an entirely new community of women. Women who blog for a living! Of course, I have this blog and I try my best to blog different random happenings of my life between shoots, but it is sometimes difficult to do that when I am still working full time. Anyways, I found about 10 new blogs to start reading during my early morning blog "stalking" ritual before I go off to work. One of these blogs just happens to belong to a woman by the name of Tsh Oxenreider. Nope, I didn't forget the "i" in her name. She pronounces it Tish. Her website/blog is called The Simple Mom.
This is straight from her site:
"Simple Mom is a productivity blog for home managers. It’s like Zen Habits wearing an apron. If we want to get things done and be fully present for all the things that are most important to us, we have to keep things simple.
When Mom is doing well, the whole family thrives.
This blog is a catalog of the resources, tips, and lessons to make that happen. When we find solutions for cutting everyday life clutter, we’re taking care of our family, our home, and ourselves. I believe that when Mom (Dad, too) is doing well, the whole family thrives."
After I read some of her most recent posts, specifically the post from Friday, I thought to myself, some of these suggestions aren't just for people who already have children. They are for people who simply want to simplify their lives. Can't wait to see what she has coming up next week. |
| And because all blog posts are better with images, the image above is one of my favorite trees on campus. I will need to ask Randy what the name of it is and get back to you. I just LOVE when it blooms every year. And after I finished shooting some images of the tree, I ran into my friends Rebecca and Phil. They can never resist being in front of my camera! "Oh, Tira has her camera, can you stop and take a new picture of us"! Love you guys! |
Whip It Up Wednesday: Japanese Miso Soup
| I am sure many of you have had Japanese food. We had our very first date at our now favorite Sushi restaurant, Kabuki Japanese Restaurant. Almost thirteen years later, we are still having date nights at Kabuki's. We almost always have a cup of miso soup before we enjoy our sashimi and rolls. Typically, when you eat at a Japanese restaurant, it can be a little expensive. But, when you make it at home, it can be surprisingly inexpensive. David found a great place to purchase the much needed Japanese supplies located in San Francisco, the Asian Food Grocer. Their prices are reasonable, fast delivery, and fresh products. |
Dashi (kelp and fish broth)
Ingredients
2 (4-inch) square pieces kombu
2 1/2 quarts water
1/2-ounce bonito flakes, about 2 cups
Directions
Put the kombu in a 4-quart saucepan, cover with the water and soak for 30 minutes.
Set the saucepan over medium heat until the water reaches 150 to 160 degrees F and small bubbles appear around the sides of the pan, 9 to 10 minutes.
Remove the kombu from the pan. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil, 5 to 6 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and add the bonito flakes. Simmer gently, stirring frequently, for 10 minutes.
Strain the liquid through a fine mesh strainer lined with muslin or several layers of cheesecloth.

Miso Soup
Ingredients
12-ounce block firm tofu
2 quarts dashi (as prepared above)
6 tablespoons dark or red miso
2 tablespoons light or white miso
4 scallions, thinly sliced
Directions
Cut the tofu into 1/4 to 1/2-inch cubes.
Heat the dashi in a 4-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. When the dashi reaches 100 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, ladle 1 cup into a small bowl. Add the miso, and whisk until smooth.
Bring the remaining dashi to a bare simmer, approximately 10 minutes. Add the miso mixture and whisk to combine. Return to a slight simmer, being careful not to boil the mixture. Add the tofu and scallions and cook for another minute or until heated through. Remove from the heat, ladle into soup bowls and serve immediately.
