ROBIN’S BEAUTIFUL BRIDALS AT THE MEADOWS MUSEUM

May 23, 2016 • Tamytha Cameron •

Ever since the lovely and stylish Robin asked me to photograph her wedding, I started visualizing some equally stylish bridal portraits. I have been so anxious to share these gorgeous images… I literally squealed with delight when I was editing them because they are just so pretty… and that is all about Robin in her classic flowing silk gown… a gown that very few women could pull off! She and her handsome groom Brian wed this past Friday evening surrounded by family and friends at the charming Jefferson Tower, so I am finally free to share. Robin is the Events Manager at the Meadows Museum so it seemed like the perfect place to shoot these images, and the stately art filled spaces are the ideal backdrop for this beauty!

COLLYN IN THE SUNSHINE

This session with the stunning Collyn Robison is just so lovely and so full of light that I couldn’t resist sharing it on this cold January day. There are people that the camera loves… and Collyn is certainly one of them. Her smile just fills the frame and draws you in. Not to mention her lovely eyes, perfectly arched brows… and that hair… I mean this girl is a beauty. I can also attest that she is smart, kind, and humble, and so much fun to be around. She’s heading to the University of Texas in Austin in the fall, carrying on the Longhorn tradition that is very much a part of her family. Collyn and her mom Sally spent an afternoon at the Shops at Legacy with Celeste and I and we were fortunate to have that coveted golden light. Check out the results… I’m pretty crazy about these images.

Whenever I do a session with a senior I love seeing their clothing choices… being a fashion addict myself, I know the power of a good outfit… and Collyn’s choices were fabulous. The heels on her shoes are a killer ombre metallic… take note ladies.

These images with Collyn in this dreamy white in one of my favorite spots with wavy golden grass are so ethereal… I just love them. They are stylish, bohemian, and happy all at the same time. I have a feeling Collyn is going to make quite a splash at UT.

OUR ANNUAL PHOTOS… HIGH HEELS, BOOTS AND A LOT OF CONFETTI

December 2, 2013 • Tamytha Cameron •

Every year for the last 17 years my two daughters and I have had an annual Christmas photo session. We started this when we moved to Dallas from Athens, a small town in East Texas, and it has become one of our most important traditions. In many ways these photos tell the story of our lives through the years here in Dallas and mark and celebrate our connection to one another. Though I am am photographer, and so now is my oldest daughter Celeste… obviously we cannot take the photos ourselves… so that’s where our dear friend Linda Stringer comes in. She takes the photos and control freak that I am… I edit them. She is such a trooper and she has the patience of Job… as I can faithfully attest. She has put up with the three of us, two of whom were very little girls when we started this journey of photography… and let me tell you there have been some pouting sessions and stony glares from those very same sweet girls who weren’t so fond of the idea at times. Some things never change… but merely evolve… and let’s be real… we were all a little irritable yesterday trying to pull it together for this session. You must know something about women trying to pick out the right outfits… get the hair and makeup right. It’s a process… that is all I can say. But in the end, we love each other like crazy… and we are so glad we have these photos… these markers in time… to celebrate one another.

Of course one of the key steps in this process is deciding what we want to wear… no matching… we have done this in years past of course, but now we aim for stylish coordination in the same color family. We wait until the day of or the day before at the earliest and then we either pull everything out of our closets or cave and go and buy something… either way it is frustrating but at the same time fun… and the day of the session our home and car look like a cyclone of clothing struck. To add to our color scheme, I thought to myself, “What could be better than confetti?!” Well nothing of course.

We were so lucky this past weekend that the weather was nice… and cloudy days really make colors pop which I love… I’m not sure if folks wondered why were throwing confetti by the side of the road… but we had a great time. When I look at these photos I really can’t believe how tall that Celeste is… my first born who was once so tiny… or that Medora, who cut half of her hair off in the front when she was four, has such gorgeous locks… see sweetie everything works out in the end. I am so proud of both of my girls… their inner and outer beauty… the way they love and the way we are each other’s fiercest defenders and allies. We may get annoyed with one another at times, but if anyone else says a bad word about one of us or hurts one of us… the other two rise up and hell hath no fury… etc. etc. Suffice it to say that these two are my best friends and I wouldn’t choose to be anyone or anything over being their mom.

We were running out of light and had to do a quick change in the Jeep… which is no cakewalk for three girls… but I wanted a certain photo in a certain spot where I have taken clients many times… and I had it visualized in my head… so it had to happen come hell or high water. I’m a boots and jeans outdoor girl at heart even though fashion is still one of my loves so I wanted to incorporate both. I’m pretty pleased with the results.

The thing I most want to say to all you friends, clients and future clients is to have photos taken of you and your loved ones… I am pretty sure you will never regret it and it will become part of your legacy. I promise. Just do it. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you from Tamytha Cameron Photography and from Celeste, Medora and me! xoxo

AUGUST SHOOT IN THE AFTERNOON LIGHT…

August 19, 2013 • Tamytha Cameron •

Every now and again Celeste and I venture out to do a shoot together… scouting out new locations for clients and in the process hopefully getting some new shots of each other in the process. Yesterday the temperatures were typical for an August afternoon in Texas, the residents of Hades would have felt at home…but nevertheless we donned our heels and braved the hills and roadsides… all for our art. Here are the results.

The afternoon light was absolutely golden… and the thing I love about my daughter is that she doesn’t even blink an eye when asked to walk along a busy street wearing heels to get a great shot… or to make her way gingerly down a steep hill in those same heels for another. I guess being raised by a crazy photographer mother has permanent effects to the personality.

I always like to mix urban elements with natural beauty…

Until September friends…. XO

JACQUELYN AND STEPHEN’S ELEGANT AND CLASSIC DALLAS WEDDING

August 11, 2013 • Tamytha Cameron •

I first met Jacquelyn and Stephen at their beautiful home… newly designed and built by the amazing Moore Design + Build team. In fact it was one of these gentlemen who referred me to Jacquelyn and I am so glad that he did. To say that they are a stunning couple would be an understatement, and they are charming and easy to talk to as well. We started talking and a couple hours later I knew that what this couple wanted were simple, elegant wedding photographs that would capture the day that was so important to them and their families.

They had planned an elegant ceremony and celebration of the joining of two lives for Saturday, May 18th, and there was so much love and respect between this couple and their entire families that my job was going to be a joy. From the evening of their rehearsal dinner at the Zodiac Room downtown I saw the love between Jacquelyn and Stephen and it was an honor as it always is to hear friends and family talk about the couple and how much they mean to them. The ceremony was held the next day at a beautiful Catholic Church with a gorgeous sanctuary.

Before we get to the actual ceremony however, I have to share some images that are among Celeste and I’s favorites… taken before the ceremony at the Maid of Honor’s apartment, Jacquelyn’s sister, Leah. By the way, talk about a truly beautiful family, Jacquelyn, her mom Tina Marie, and her sister Leah quite evidently share the same gorgeous genes… and these ladies are not just beautiful, but stylish as well… and as you will see they certainly know how to choose their dancing shoes.

Now on to their lovely ceremony…

The reception was actually the first to be held on the roof of the Wyly Theater in downtown Dallas. The Dallas skyline made a beautiful backdrop for what turned out to be a fabulous party. The Walton Stout Band had everyone on their feet and the energy and fun in the room were palpable! Dayme Mullins Walther, their amazing planner, had everything running as smoothly as silk and the catering by Wolfgang Puck Caterers was delicious. I’m going to let the images speak for themselves, but I will say that Celeste and I both agreed that their reception was one of the most fun we had ever attended. One of the absolute highlights of the evening was the dabke, a dance of Lebanese origin, that the bride was excellent at leading. Everyone joined in and had such a great time and it brought so much joy and energy to the reception! We watched the couple exit the theater at 1 AM to a shower of rose petals and I think I can safely say that a wonderful time was had by all!

My wish for you Jacquelyn and Stephen is that you will always be as happy as you were on this day!

KATIE’S STUNNING BRIDALS AT THE OLD RED COURT HOUSE

August 2, 2013 • Tamytha Cameron •

August 1st, 2013

Katie and Kyle have been dream clients… They booked me for their wedding last year and it has been a joy walking through the whole photographic process with them, from their engagement session at the Arboretum and downtown Dallas, to Katie’s bridal session at the Old Red Courthouse, to their warm and wonderful rehearsal dinner at Times Ten Wine Cellars, to their beautiful wedding at Perkins Chapel and reception at 333 First Avenue. What a lovely couple as the old adage says… inside and out. In their case it couldn’t be more true! I will be blogging about their wedding very soon! This post is about Katie’s bridals which I have been absolutely dying to share since I shot them. You can obviously see why! This is one gorgeous and stylish girl… and she can’t seem to take a bad picture. It was my first time to shoot at the Old Red Courthouse so that was exciting as well, and Katie’s sister Deb came along as maid of honor to enjoy this photo session with Katie and she and I made a great team! Thanks Deb for all your help, you are an absolute jewel! I couldn’t have done it without you!

Notice Katie’s adorable pink crinoline which she managed to keep under wraps until the removing of the garter… sneaky girl. It was the perfect compliment to Katie’s beautiful gown and fabulous hat which is even more beautiful in person!

And now… the captivating Katie Tripp … now Mrs. Wilson in fact. [Read more…]

BEAUTIFUL BERNICE’S BRIDALS

January 2, 2013 • Tamytha Cameron •

If you look up gorgeous bride in the dictionary you will probably find Bernice’s picture! Talk about a stunning girl… taking her photos was a pleasure. When I met with Bernice and Kevin I soon realized that Bernice would not be your traditional bride. I always try to reflect the personality of the bride in the type of photos that I take and this session was no exception. Bernice and Kevin are a modern and adventurous couple who enjoy fast cars, like Kevin’s Aston Martin, as well as extreme sports like sky diving.

Our original plan involved Bernice being photographed with a small plane to honor their shared love, adrenaline junkies that they are, but we were unable to make that happen on a rather limited timeline. I met with the couple in November and their wedding just happened… Friday December 28th in fact!

One thing I couldn’t help but notice was the way Kevin obviously adores Bernice… and the way she affectionately calls him Amore. They are such a lovely couple with equally lovely families on both sides and we had a fabulous time at their Ashton Gardens Wedding. Kevin and Bernice I hope you guys are having a fabulous time in Hawaii!

Really Bernice… could you be any more stunning? Kevin is a lucky man!

One of the benefits of being a December bride is taking advantage of all the Christmas decor… and downtown Dallas provided us with a fabulous backdrop… even the Grinch wanted in on the shoot!

I wish you and Kevin every happiness! I can’t wait to blog your wedding! XO
