Girl. Horse. Dog. | Rochester NY Pet Photographer

December 4, 2009

I know I’ve shown a couple of these images before…but looking at them in totality made me feel like I wanted to share them as a group.  Cuz they are so cool.  And Mary is so cool.  See — she waited and thought about having pics done with her horse and dog for two years — before she made the decision to hire me.  Our pets are not around forever — and you know — i get this because my beloved dog lulu is nearing 11 — and it’s so hard.  so hard to think that someday she won’t be there to snore at my feet.  So it always touches me to see what strong relationships and bonds people develop with their pet family.  I was so honored to be a part of this.

And the images are SMOKIN’!!!!!!!!!!

and…what about THIS!!

Oh.  And in case you were wondering?  Here’s what Mary had to say about this.  (hey.  she said I could, right?  so I AM!):


OH MY GOD!! MY LITTLE JOE!!
wow, that is soooo coool!! i’m am just about bawling looking at those!

they DO ROCK, they are just full of emotion!  and look at little joe’s smile. oh my God. wow.  you really did such an awesome job Tammy, thank you so so so much!  you caputred the love for sure, wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to do it!  and that really is not that easy to do, when you have not ever met the person, dog or horse before!!
You’re awesome Tammy!!  Thank you so much for your talent and effort.  That’s why I picked you – because your eye captures the emotion, and the “real” moments.  Thank you for that excellent christmas present you just gave me of a WHOLE blog post, whoa!! You’ve totally made my whole day, week, and winter…I’m going to just be salivating over these images for weeks & months to come!  Thank you for understanding my love for Kill & Patty, and having the heart to capture it.  Your work is just amazing!
I can’t wait to give you a hug in person,

WITH MUCH LOVE,
Mary

Week Peek: A Recap | Rochester NY Photographer

August 19, 2009


Here we are.  The absolute HEART of busy season.  I don’t know if you know this about me — but I follow over 500 blogs daily.  (I know, right?  Srsly.)  I don’t read them every day — but I do know this — that right now is when you find your favorite bloggers — photographers especially — sort of trail off into silence…or a post begging you to understand how busy they are.  ::grin::

So I am blogging to tell you:  I am busy.  I am blogging.  And I am here.  Crazed.  But here.

This week (okay.  last week.  I am a wee bit behind in most things in my life.  ::grin::).

Here’s all the fun stuff I got to do:

Jess and I re-wrote the FAQ section on the blog.  That sounds boring, doesn’t it?  But truly, it was fun to work with Jess on it and fun to see it all come together so awesomely (is that a word?)!

I put together some FUN AND CRAZY WEDDING SLIDESHOWS for Kelly and DanBrooke and Dave, and Bethany and Patrick.  But only check them out if you’re serious.  My slideshows are long and elaborate and I am in love with every single one of them.  Also – let me know what you think — cuz I’m still working on a format…

A 70th birthday party with a PUPPY and BOYS and LAKE and SAND.  Could the day have been more perfect?  I think not.  It was so much fun!

Seniors.  If you are looking at my photographs and thinking – wow.  I love those  – I need Tammy to take MINE ( or my son/daughter or my neighbor who’s a senior or the girl in Ontario) — my answer:  get.on.the.calendar.  My sessions are booking so fast my head is spinning.  But there’s still some.  Grab one.  that’s all I’m saying.

And for the record:  when did seniors get so sophisticated and beautiful?  I know.  a definite fact.  That I NEVER looked so good.  And my senior pictures?  Big ol’ zit right in the middle of my nose.  The Rudolph Series.  Nice.  ::laughing::

An AMAZING WEDDING with two families that were beyond wonderful.  And a couple of silly fun incidents (hello — the priest almost fell on me!) that made taking photographs EXTRA fun!

A guitarist with dreams of making it big and writing his own music.  Rock on!

A family of girls so beautiful that I could NOT take ONE bad picture.  Not one.

Did I mention the PUPPY yet?  OMG.

I love this time of year.  One of my photo buddies said — you know Tam, you use sun flare A LOT — but somehow…I never get tired of it!  Right?!  I NEVER get tired of it!  So stay OUT SUNSHINE!

Here’s my recap in the VIZZUUUAAALLLL:

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!

How can these dogs look so perfect and innocent one minute…dog2 the good. the bad. |Rochester NY Pet Photographer

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:
