December, 2007


Something to look at and think about |

December 29, 2007

I found this via BB Blog (love BB Blog!) Washington Post’s On Being.

I’ve been working my way through each of the vignettes and have found each one both visually wonderful and thought provoking.  I especially love “eddie“  and May the turkey.

2008? How can that be? |

Seriously…I feel like I’m blinking and time has flown by…I’m spending this last week of 2007 reflecting on what I’ve accomplished and planning on where I want to be for 2008. I can tell you that this has been an incredible year for me. I’ve met so many amazing people and feel like I’ve really grown both professionally and personally. Sniff. ::grin:: And many of you have helped me along the ways — in ways you can’t even begin to imagine. So…thanks.

Mostly for me — but also for you if you’re up for it — I’m posting up this “favorites of 2007” slideshow — some of these images you’ve seen, some you haven’t. But mostly, they tell the story of how I saw the world in 2007 and how amazing the weddings, kids, families, musicians and pets I’ve photographed have been. I’m honored.

So…if you haven’t already — take the time to really think back about the past year and acknowledge how you’ve changed — both the good and the bad. I don’t make resolutions — but I do make plans — and 2008 is gonna be a whopper for me – so buckle your seat belts! ::laughing::

I’m so dramatic.

Enjoy.

PS — here’s a photo that “almost” made it as my holiday card. I’m a color freak. I admit it. Admitting it is the first step to acknowledging that you have a problem. ::grin::

Have you heard about photographer’s children? |

December 24, 2007

They usually aren’t particularly good in front of the camera for their poor photographer parent…

I’m just saying…and if you’re REALLY a glutton for punishment…click here.

Tammy at work |

December 21, 2007

I dragged my son out on a photo shoot with me — with the charge to take pictures of me taking pictures. A budding photographer himself, M has a very unique perspective on the world and I love working with him!

(Editor’s note: Check out Kelly on the edge of that floating dock. She was sooo nervous — but did whatever it took to get the great shot! This location is one of my favorites…)

So this is what YOU see…

And this is what I see… (cool, right? I really wanted it to have a touristy vintage postcard feel — does it work?)

I noticed them! But I didn’t see the description that goes along the top (i.e., “pet portraits”) so I was a little confused…maybe that should be closer to the tabs?

Loved the “shed” pun, btw! I just got that :)

I noticed, but now I understand…my eye to brain coordination truly sucks…

Practice makes perfect… |

December 19, 2007

Here is the most adorable L — checking herself out during a december holiday photo session and practicing silly faces for me to photograph. I do have the photo of this particular face when she turned around for me and “posed”…but I love this one even more for it’s emotion and intensity. She REALLY wanted to make faces! (Editor’s note: this photo did NOT get used for the holiday card…::grin::)

Happy Holidays — Light Crayon Style |

December 17, 2007

Sometimes a photograph can turn out unexpectedly amusing — and this is how I feel about this one.  My intention was to have a sweet photograph of my dog Lulu — some holiday lights and snow.  But…this is what I got instead.  It makes me laugh.

So…happy holidays — from tammy and lulu and all the gang here!  Hope it’s as unexpected, funny and relaxed as Lulu!
