OMG. SRSLY? | Rochester NY Wedding Photographer

June 30, 2009

HOW long has it been since I’ve blogged?  Yeah.  That long.

So…I reached an interesting point where I got so busy that I um…ahem…got a little behind.  And I looked long and hard at where I wanted to be compared to where I was and decided I needed to make some radical changes in the tammyswales.com world.

I needed help.  Serious help.  (Now…those of you who are my FRIENDS can stop laughing and saying “we’ve been telling you that for YEARS Tam” — not THAT kind of help.  ::laughing::)

So.  I created a “help wanted” ad.  And I heard from some AMAZING people who would have been awesome additions to the Tammy Swales brand.  (I love being a brand…it sounds so…cool.)  But once I received Jessica’s letter and resume — really — there was no other choice.  She was made for me.  She….completes me.  ::grin::

So — Jess is my new addition to Tammy Swales Photography and if you are contacting me about photographing you or your wedding or your child or your dog or your fiance or your mother  — you will likely be contacted by a very cheery, sunshiney person who has all the answers, is very organized and basically keeps me on task when I show signs of being distracted.

An upside and maybe..possibly a downside of working for a photographer is that it is almost an OBLIGATION to be photographed.  Repeatedly.  In different scenarios and settings.  I mean…I think I have to add it into the job description.  “Must be guinea pig for any and all photographic ideas for Tammy Swales”.

Today — Jess got her first taste of that.  I wanted some Kick Butt pics of her to announce how cool I think it is that she’s working with me.  And somehow…her boyfriend wandered into some of the images…which possibly means I have to expand the job description to include all relatives of said employee as well.  ::grin::  Of course I am just kidding.

We have a lot to do and a lot to share, Jess and I — so stay tuned — I have been SUPER BUSY and the images — OMG the images are AMAZING.

Without further ado — meet Jess.  She can be reached directly at Jess@tammyswales.com — and I’m sure you will adore working with her as much as I do.

And here’s the part where John jumps in…how can I resist these two?  Cuteness personified?  Seriously?

(Hey.  How’d that jumping shot get in here?!)

Then I asked Jess to demonstrate how working for me “looked”.  I think she’s going to fit right in around here.

I am THRILLED that you found Jess, Tammy. I’m glad that when you asked, the universe answered in kind. Probably because you have the universe’s direct email address.

All Tammy All The Time | Rochester NY Photographer

December 22, 2008

You may like my blog.

You may like my website.

Both of these things give you an idea of what kind of work I do and a little bit about who I am…

But the day to day nitty gritty Tammy?  Not so much.

If you are hungering to know, for example, that I ate more cut out cookies over the past two days than a baby elephant, or that I watched Fred Claus and hated it, or even that over the weekend I had a mini-temper tantrum at a hallmark store (they wouldn’t take my $100 dollar bill.  As it was all I had in the moment and I was buying $85 worth of stuff – I was a wee little teeny tiny annoyed), you can be my friend on Facebook, Be a FAN of Tammy Swales even, and follow me on Twitter.

Have you found Twitter yet?  So so much fun.  :)

So yeah.  All Tammy all the time.  ::grin::

Come play!

Light Crayon Photography going on vacation until February 16th |

February 9, 2008

I know you’ll miss me, right? ::grin::

It sounds funny though.  That the PHOTOGRAPHY is going on vacation.  ::laughing::  But I know you know what I mean.  :)

This is me last year with my dolphin companion. No dolphins (or cameras either) this year — just a few days away to regroup and reboot. (Can you tell I’ve been in front of the computer for too long?)

Emails will be answered after the 16th. See you then!

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.
