I love when people say “are you going to blog about me?” | Rochester NY Wedding Photographer

Um.

Busy week.

I was lucky enough to be able to travel to NYC to photograph three of my couples who are getting married either next month…or next year.  I had soooo soooo soooo much fun.

I also got to spend some time with my OWN son who is a senior this year {sniff} and take his senior photographs.  How amazing is that?  Amazing I tell you.  Amazing.   I love him soooo much and it was bittersweet taking those pictures.  I’m so proud of him.

I love watching the transformation women especially go through during a photo session.  Every.single.girl who walks in my door is uncomfortable and uneasy.  When they leave — they are relaxed and happy.  Always.  Trust me on this.  One of my girls today said as she was walking out the door — “I feel like I just had a spa treatment”.  ::grin::  I thought that was the coolest testimonial ever.  Maybe that should be my new tagline.  Tammy Swales:  Just like a trip to the spa.  ::laughing::

I am constantly amazed and awed by my clients.  It’s not easy, is it, to stand in front of a camera.  All of our insecurities come bubbling up to the surface — every mean thing that anyone said to you in high school and beyond is right on the tip of your tongue.  I watch…and watch…those insecurities get tucked away one by one during my photo sessions.  I watch people become THEMSELVES.  And that, my faithful and incredible blog readers (hi mom) is why I do this.  Keeping it real.  Keeping YOU real.  I love that.

So.  Watch with me.  All these beautiful talented silly friendly solemn thoughtful people I get to photograph.

Wow.

And yes.  I know a pic appears twice.  It’s late.  I haven’t had caffeine.  Plus I like the pic!  ::laughing::

And also.  I love this one….

So yeah.  A good week.  A good one.
