Moments add up to what is important — LOVE | Rochester NY Engagement Photographer

December 28, 2008

Yeah.  I love this family.  I love their kids.  I love their mother.  I love their dog.  I love THEM ALL.

So so much fun today photographing Rictina and Tony — about to be married on Valentine’s Day — I mean — how APPROPRIATE!!  ::grin::

We couldn’t do the engagement shoot with just the two of them — OF COURSE we had to document this newly blended family too.  So we did both.  And I am so glad we did.

Besides…it was meant to be — in many more ways than I can list here.  But if I could only choose one thing to hallmark this day?  Weather.  It’s December right?  It’s cold and snowy right?  Not for these two.  SIXTY degrees, and while it torrentially poured ALL DAY — as soon as we started shooting.  Sun.  Blue Sky.

It’s a sign.

Here’s some sneaky peeky images for you guys.  You are going to go NUTS when you see them all — they are amazing.  Thanks for letting me run with my ideas today — it was FABULOUS!

Holiday Cards Are So Much Fun! | Rochester NY Photographer

December 22, 2008

So yeah.  It’s what…three days before the holiday?  And yes, I am still playing around with my client’s photos for their holiday cards.  Yep.  I have it bad, what can I say?

This one might be my all time favorite for the holidays though…it’s so darn cute…

All Tammy All The Time | Rochester NY Photographer

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!

Viewpoint. Emotion. Clarity. Love. | Rochester NY Wedding Photographer

December 17, 2008

Every time I photograph someone, or a wedding or anything really – there’s always one image that surprises me — that becomes almost…symbolic of ME.  Who I am, what I see, how I feel.

Today it’s this one:

I just love these dogs.  Rhodesian Ridgebacks and completely gorgeous and full of energy.  Even the 13 year old came out to play with us!

Everyone Loves Their Pets | Rochester NY Pet Photographer

December 15, 2008

And Josh and Erin are no exception.  Erin emailed me wanting photos of themselves and their “adorable chinchillas”.  I admit to thinking…”awww they call their children chinchillas — how cute!”

It’s a good thing that through subsequent emails I figured out that they were ACTUAL chinchillas.  Otherwise I would have been REALLY SURPRISED when they walked in the door.  ::laughing::

Erin and Josh — thank you soo much for a fun shoot.  You are my first chinchilla people!  ::grin::

Here’s your sneak peek:

Anatomy of a Photoshoot | Rochester NY Family Photographer

December 13, 2008

So.  What do you do with three boys during a photoshoot?  Well.  First you MAKE them pose.  Mom likes the smiles…right?

Then…after they suffer (and from a boy’s point of view it IS suffering ::grin::) you let them be themselves.  And the photos become about the FAMILY and less about posey posey.

Love the images from the P Fam today.  I was soooo happy they were willing to try some different things — I think the results are going to be all “oh man, Tam…we love those!”  ::grin::

Here’s your sneak peek!

if i am every lucky enough to have you do a photo shoot of my boys, there will be no posey posey shots. your “candid” shots are so wonderful….really captures the subject’s personality.
