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.

(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.

Why Hire Light Crayon Photography to take YOUR images? |

January 26, 2008

C’mon. Admit it. It’s a valid question. There are a meeelion photographers in this area and all over the place. Some cost a lot. Some cost virtually nothing.

Eventually every small business owner has to answer this question — why would you trust me?

I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about this and here’s what I’ve come up with…

1. Personality.

2. Creativity.

3. Technical Skills.

And I don’t want to make this a sales pitch. Really. I just wrote a lot of blah blah blah and deleted it because I think I can show you why you might consider working with me — in two images…

Scenario: 80th birthday party. Family gets together in dark restaurant with bad lighting and wants images.
