My name is Tamara and I am/was a straight spouse. In MY case that means I had a long term relationship (14 year marriage) with a partner who then came out as having same s*x attraction. There are other types of straight spouses, but that’s where I fit. It is my belief that same s*x attraction is not something that you choose or can be chosen for you. You can only choose to pursue that attraction or not.

For whatever reason, my spouse didn’t feel comfortable until his late 30’s and after 2 children, to pursue this attraction. Because I acknowledge that I am a part time awesome individual, my first words after his disclosure were something along the lines of ‘I love you, you're still my best friend, it's just who you are’. And we went shopping. It wasn’t like that for the whole time though, there was a lot to unpack and process. I learned that there were a LOT of people like me. I believe if people can TRULY acknowledge who they are as teenagers, they are much less likely to carry shame into adulthood and hide, leaving people like straight spouses to clean up after they start living their authentic life. I want to become an ally to teenagers of the LGBTQIA+ community and celebrate who THEY are. Plus I am a of a teenager who identifies as LGBTQIA+.

Even though Pride Month is nearly over, I want to honour the rainbow community and be a safe place to represent. So, in honour of Pride Month, I will be hosting a special event for the people who identify as part of the LBTQIA+ community and their supporters. Once I can predict what COVID restrictions will be in July. I will announce registrations here on my page.

There will be two shoot types. The first will be a shootout in a group setting for those who are comfortable. I will also be hosting 1:1 sessions (with their supporters) for those who aren’t comfortable in a group setting. I want to celebrate YOUR true colours and how you represent you. My focus will be on 12-16 year olds in the hope that in feeling celebrated and supported, there will be less mental health issues, su***de, and more open and honest conversations between teenagers and their eventual partners. Hoping that in time, there will be less and MORE

NEW SHOOT TYPES

So if I am not doing dance competitions any more, what WILL I be doing? This is the exciting part! As COVID Restrictions allow, I will be focusing on planned shoots both in studio and on location. I will be looking to focus on issues that are important to the arts community and myself and stretching my artistic muscle. My next shoot event will be in honour of Pride month.

NAME CHANGE

For those who know me, know that my business name originated from my childhood nick name. My step-father (who had an unexpected stint in hospital this week) gave it to me when I was about 8, and it’s still something he calls me. Me and my mini Monstas, which is why it seemed a natural name for my business. Unfortunately, its now something I associate with my marriage breakdown and the associated failures that followed. I will post more about that at the right time, but after 2018 I kind of pulled myself into a protective cocoon and almost literally turned into mush. Much like a caterpillar transformation.

During the lockdown/s of 2020 I started missing my shoots, and started making plans. Because it doesn’t make sense to come out of a cocoon the same caterpillar I went in, I am changing the name of my business to Tamara Maree Photography as of July 1.

For the critics that might be concerned that I am trying to ‘hide’ behind a new name, I could have started brand new with a clean slate, new page and not explained anything. If anything, I am making myself MORE accountable by putting my actual name to it. There are likely to be some critics come out and illustrate their negative impressions of my past performance, and that’s valid. I failed some clients pretty spectacularly. I am in the process of documenting my experience with a series of blog posts, which I will announce as its ready to go.

Big Changes are coming!!

If 2018 taught me anything it’s that I cannot do everything on my own. Not well anyway. One of the changes I have made in my business is not to continue to do volume dance competition photos anymore. That does NOT mean you won’t see me shooting dance competitions though. I have joined another photography team and will be providing them with the high-quality action images you expect from me. SO don’t be sad 😊. So now you know what I WON’T be doing in the future, stay tuned to what IS happening!

I REALLY wanted to make some major announcements today, but with the wild weather, my internet is not cooperating and I didn't get as far as I had hoped. BUT keep your eye out on Monday, it will be an exciting day for this Monsta.

Also, please keep the people in Melbourne dealing with the chaos that the massive storms yesterday. I have family that have had no power for 48 hours and not expected to get it back for another 72, plus more family that I MAY have to use a boat to see as they are in Traralgon and VERY wet right now. Stay safe peeps

I may not be responding to messages or calls today, as Monsta Kid 1 broke her toe over the weekend and is getting scans and fitted for a moon boot and Monsta Kid 2 is on his way to hospital because they think he has appendicitis.

I had hoped to have an update for any outstanding Best Foot Forward Orders, Flair Dance Studios, and Bayside Ballet tonight, and I still hope I can, but for now, I need to be a Monsta Mum!
