THE 150 BEST PHOTOS OF 2017

January 5, 2018 • Tamytha Cameron •

Happy New Year friends! I just realized as I was going over all my photos from the past year to choose these very special 150 that this is my 6th year to do this! That makes me so happy! I do want to say that this is a totally subjective grouping in that these are my favorites… and have not been chosen by voting, or an impartial panel or anything even remotely like that. Some of the photos were taken by my daughter Celeste, which I must note because darn it I didn’t get to go to New Zealand where a couple of these were taken. I love every one of my clients and every wedding, event and portrait session is so important to me. But there is something about certain photos that just jump out at you, either aesthetically, or emotionally, or compositionally… and sometimes because of what they represent or say. And every year I do this it gets harder… I mean to tell you it’s difficult to choose just 150 out of over 100,000 photos. This is just something I do to reflect over my past year of work and to celebrate my clients and to celebrate creativity! A lot of lot of love went into each and every one of these photos and it was such a joy and honor to work with each of you and to be a part of your lives in this way. Here’s to more photo adventures in 2018!

KIRA, JEREMIAH AND SWEET SIENNA

February 9, 2016 • Tamytha Cameron •

These three are quite literally like sunshine to be around. They are so joyful and so in love with each other and with their beautiful baby girl that their happiness spills onto everyone around them. I first met Kira via email when she was looking for someone to take newborn photos of this little bundle of joy. This is the fourth time I have worked with them and each time I love the images more. This shoot was a combination family shoot and celebration of Sienna turning 1! I am always impressed by Sienna’s baby style… but Kira really outdid herself this time with the adorable headwear! Sienna has traits from both her parents of course, but those blue eyes are just like her daddy!

THE BEAUTIFUL VIBRANT MYCOSKIE FAMILY

February 5, 2016 • Tamytha Cameron •

The Mycoskie family is so full of life! Just being around them brings a smile to your face. We met at a nature park near their home on a lovely late fall day and I’m pretty sure the golden Texas afternoon sun was shining just for us. Lori, the gorgeous mother of these three adorable children, is such a stunner and her husband Jordan has one of those charming smiles that just puts you at ease immediately. They are such genuine people and their connection with one another translates effortlessly into these images. This was a combination family shoot and also a celebration of sweet Caroline turning one! She is going to grow up well protected with her two big brothers Colt and Sawyer… the three of them together send the cuteness factor right off the charts!

I think it’s so important for families to celebrate their love for one another with images. It’s always a difficult thing to make happen, especially when you have young children… just choosing outfits and getting everyone dressed can be daunting…but the results are certainly worth it! Speaking of outfits… how cute do these kids look?! Caroline has to be one of the best dressed little girls around.

I can’t wait to photograph this beautiful family again in the future, we had the best time together!

NAT AND NICOLE SO OBVIOUSLY IN LOVE!

May 3, 2015 • Tamytha Cameron •

Some couples just make marriage look good… and Nat and Nicole absolutely do! They are so obviously crazy about each other and truly enjoy each other’s company that it is infectious… and there was a lot of laughter the day of this shoot. I shot this session some time ago in one of my favorite spots… downtown near the AT&T Performing Arts Center. So many great nooks and crannies… architecture and greenspace… but Nat and Nicole outshone all their surroundings. I mean Nicole’s smile is a stunner! They brought their adorable dogs along and the four of them are so cute together I can hardly stand it!

I had so much fun with you guys!

THE BEST OF 2014

January 24, 2015 • Tamytha Cameron •

The intention was to have this post up and running the first week of January… but alas… crazy life got in the way and now January is almost over. Nevertheless I said I was going to do a “Best of 2014” blog post so here it is… and the old words ring true… better late than never! It is always a challenge and a joy to choose my favorite photos from a year of my work. I put my heart into every photo so there is a little something of me in every one… These 125 photos were chosen from a pared down pool of about 20,000 photos. I can’t always explain why I love a photo… suffice it to say that sometimes it’s simply aesthetics, sometimes meaning, and sometimes it is something personal… no matter the why I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I do.

THE PATRICK FAMILY

December 12, 2014 • Tamytha Cameron •

This is the season for wonderful family portraiture… and I am more than thrilled to share my session with the Patrick Family. I went to high school with Rob, and we reconnected as so many friends do, through Facebook. I have wanted to photograph his family ever since I saw photos of his romantic marriage proposal to Alisha in a hot air balloon. The way he speaks of her on Facebook and in person is so lovely… and one of the things I most admire in a man is his ability to love a woman well. Alisha and Rob and I had a long conversation over coffee about life and family before our session and I can assure you they are as beautiful on the outside as they are on the inside. Rob is also an excellent father to his son Carson, which is very evident in these photos… their father and son camaraderie is a really wonderful thing to watch. Rob, Alisha and Carson are a joy to spend time with and I think it shows in these images. I think family photos are so precious and so important for creating our legacy for those we love.

Speaking of love… these two are pretty romantic together… and you all know how I love photos of love.

Is there anything more heartwarming than a father and son who have that special bond and who just love being together?

This family has so much fun together… and their spirit of fun was contagious!

Rob, Alisha and Carson you three were a joy to work with! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!

ADRIENNE AND COLE AND BABY MAKES THREE

April 22, 2014 • Tamytha Cameron •

Adrienne and Cole are so wonderful together… so easy and loving and full of life. I had such a great time photographing this expectant couple and I am pretty crazy about these images. These two proud parents-to-be will be welcoming baby Jack in June… and It was the perfect time to document this joyful season in their lives with some photos. I have to say that I have rarely seen such a gorgeous and radiant mommy-to-be… and even the wind we fought with for most of the session only served to make her more beautiful.

Cole and Adrienne met on a blind date, set up by mutual friends… and it seems to me that things took off from there and are going pretty great wouldn’t you say? Adrienne says she remembers Cole wearing a jacket with his jeans and how she thought he was such a “grown up.” I just love that… since I remember what I wore to almost every past occasion even if I can’t remember anything else. Here they were telling me their story, mid-session of course… me with my pesky questions.

Cole was so attentive to Adrienne as we were navigating some hills and rocks, and it is always helpful to have a strong man around when getting into difficult spots… also when encountering unwelcome visitors outdoors like snakes! Yes that was a first for me… but Cole handled it and all was well. It makes sense that he is so gallant… gorgeous wives like Adrienne tend to bring it out in a man.

We went from this location near their home to an open green field… one of my favorite places to shoot… and it was a perfect setting for these two lovebirds. I mean have you ever seen a more gorgeous mommy-to-be? So stunning!

Cole is from Michigan and is a big Detroit Lions fan… so of course Baby Jack is already outfitted with appropriate fan gear… and their beautiful dog is just as excited about the arrival as everyone else… at least Cole and Adrienne hope so. 🙂

I just loved spending the afternoon with you two and I for one can’t wait to meet Baby Jack!

FEBRUARY, TRAINS AND TEXTURES

Every couple months Celeste and I head out with our cameras and scout out new spots for sessions… and to be real, we like photos as much as our clients. We get tired of the photos we have and we are ready for new images for all the social media sites we are addicted to. It has been really cold here in Texas. We had a virtual icepocalypse in December, some more sleet and ice in January… and February, not to be outdone had a pretty icy day as well. This sort of thing really throws Texans for a loop so we have all had a bit of cabin fever… but today the sun came out and it was beautiful and so voila! It was time for a scouting shoot! I always love shooting with my daughter and fellow photographer Celeste… as she is always game for anything.

One of the best things about this spot in Frisco is all the rustic textures and rich colors… I am always seeing photographs in my mind, and here my “mind palace” as Sherlock would say, was full to the brim.

I was pretty crazy about the beautiful black train… I just love color and graphic elements in photos… and the tin wall reflected light so beautifully. It really highlighted Celeste’s eyes.

The last time I shot in this area was with two families and it was actually rainy and cold… today everything looked more vibrant.

We had so much fun today as we always do with our cameras… outdoors. We are ready for all of you beautiful people to join us.

AT HOME WITH THE WENZEL’S

January 5, 2014 • Tamytha Cameron •

This adorable family is a favorite of mine… I mean one look at these images and you will see that they just radiate happiness. They are their own party all by themselves. We always have a ball! I have shot this family several times before, and you’ve seen them on this blog. We did a wonderful mother’s day shoot with both Kelly and Brent’s moms and the kids… and I have captured both Cooper and Hadley’s birthday parties. Kelly is a heck of a party planner, on top of being a business woman and mom… and any party she throws is going to be creative and fun. This time Kelly wanted to do a different kind of shoot… one in the place they are most relaxed… at home. I just love this idea and hope to do it with more families… people’s personalities are reflected in their surroundings and this beautiful, stylish, colorful family have a beautiful, stylish, colorful home to match.

Those of you who are familiar with my work know that I absolutely love color… and Brent, Kelly, Cooper and Hadley never disappoint. I love the bright, cheerful aura that permeates this family and their home. The following photos, shot in the back yard, are some of my favorites. These kids are absolutely brimming over with personality!

Being an only child myself, I have always envied people with siblings… and these two are pretty sweet together…

Celeste and I had no problem finding something colorful and fun in the Wenzel home to bring some pizzazz into these photos. Honestly, these kids don’t really need any added pizzazz, but we threw some colorful tinsel and colored lights into the mix anyway and I’m pretty crazy about the results. I.just.love.these.photos!

One of the things I like best about this family is the way they play and laugh together… the family that is silly together is the best kind… don’t you think?

Every time I finish a session with this group I am excited to get home and start editing… and just looking through the resulting images makes me smile and look forward to the next time. Happy happy 2014 to you guys!
