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!

KATHY AND HER ADORABLE PUP JASPER AT HOME

March 11, 2016 • Tamytha Cameron •

It is always so much fun to photograph clients in their homes. So much can be learned about someone through what they choose to surround themselves with. Kathy’s home is beautiful and vibrant just like her. She is a very busy mom and businesswoman who travels quite a bit and always enjoys coming home to this lovely, nurturing home base. Much to my delight, her precious dog Jasper added his considerable personality to every room… as he pretty much followed his master everywhere she went and wanted to be in every photo, in fact I think he may have thought the whole shoot was about him. This lovely lady wanted to shoot some images to update her personal portfolio and online presence on her business’s website. I think everyone should do this for themselves every couple of years, as fresh, gorgeous photos help us to put our best food forward visually. And speaking of feet… did you notice Kathy’s killer footware? She is such a stylish lady and those hot pink shoes… swoon!

MEGAN AND BRENDAN SO IN LOVE…

January 20, 2016 • Tamytha Cameron •

I first met Megan when I took her pictures when she was graduating from college. I was struck then by her calm easy demeanor and of course how beautiful she is, and as I usually do, I talk with my clients about their lives when we are shooting and ask lots of questions. Her eyes lit up when she talked about her guy, and how well he treated her. Then when we met again after she became engaged and we were talking about the photography for their upcoming wedding, she told me about the elaborate scavenger hunt he planned for her to pop the question. This young man certainly knows a thing or two about women! When I met him for the first time during this engagement shoot I saw instantly what a gentleman Brendan is, and how in love these two are. Brendan posted one of these images of the two of them throwing leaves on Facebook with the caption “This is what it is like marrying your best friend.” There isn’t really much I can say to top that! I can’t wait for their November wedding, it is going to be as gorgeous as they are together!

ALI AND KASPAR

July 16, 2015 • Tamytha Cameron •

It’s immediately obvious when you meet Ali and Kaspar that they are beautiful people… these images will attest to that. It’s also immediately evident how easy they are with one another, and how crazy they are about each other too. But what you may not immediately pick up on is all the things that make them uniquely them… things we incorporated into their session. Things like Kaspar’s love of donuts, Ali’s sense of style, and Kaspar’s passion for longboarding… which he shares with Ali… I mean look at the two of them on that board! And have you ever seen two people who can knock out handstands like that on a hot afternoon in jeans? We met at the Filter Building at White Rock Lake and it made the perfect backdrop for these two. It was an absolutely perfect summer day in Dallas and we had a ball! I am so excited about these images… I have been posting them on Instagram like crazy and everyone loves them. These two were adventurous and a dream to work with and Celeste and I are so excited about their Long Island wedding coming up in September! Ali and Kaspar met there as kids, so what better place for them to commit to forever?

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!

TALIA AND JOSH ARE ADORABLE, AND GETTING MARRIED!

February 25, 2015 • Tamytha Cameron •

Talia and Josh are such an adorable couple! The first time I met them at Starbucks along with Talia’s mom to talk wedding photography I was immediately drawn in by their warm personalities. Talia has one of those smiles that lights up the room, and Josh so obviously loves her that it’s impossible not to smile when you are with them. Laughter spilled over during our engagement session and the connection and chemistry between these two is so evident. They are having a beautiful May wedding at Cross Creek Ranch in Parker and the day is drawing near… everything is coming together for their big day… and I am excited to share these images of these two lovebirds. Josh is a baseball player, having played throughout his college career, so they thought some baseball themed photos should be a part of their session… and even though they now root for different teams, its all in good fun… and the results are totally charming!

COURTNEY AND KEITH’S ROMANTIC DECEMBER WEDDING

February 1, 2015 • Tamytha Cameron •

Courtney and Keith are such wonderful people… warm, real, intelligent and very obviously in love. The first time I met them at Starbucks to talk wedding photography I knew I liked them. It was such a joy and honor to work with them through the engagement, bridal and wedding photography process… and even though Keith shared with me that he never really liked having his photo taken, you would certainly never know it, as he was a natural in front of my camera. Their ceremony was held at the lovely Perkins Chapel on the SMU campus and their reception at the beautiful Meadows Museum. I had so much fun with the family and friends surrounding this couple on their special day… so much connection and love was swirling about on this December day… and it was just wonderful to be a part of it.

The girls got ready for the ceremony at the chic Highland hotel and then made their way to the dressing area at Perkins Chapel, and as usual, these photos are some of my favorites… I am such a big fan of the camaraderie of women friends…

And just like that it was time for that once in a lifetime walk down the aisle… this couple did not do a first look so this was Keith’s first glimpse of Courtney in her dress…

I just love how romantic these photos of Courtney and Keith are… so beautifully intimate…

And the celebration began…

With well wishes, hugs and fond farewells… the couple made their way into the night…

We wish you every happiness you two!!!

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!

BRITTANIE AND RAY SAY I DO!

September 5, 2014 • Tamytha Cameron •

Brittanie is one of those girls whose smile literally lights up a room. I met her some time back while on another job and we just clicked… not long after she contacted me, and told me that she wanted me to be her wedding photographer. It’s always an honor to be asked to be a part of something so very important to someone… and in this case especially so because I have a special place in my heart for this bubbly bride. I knew Britt for at least a year before I met Ray, but only a few days before the wedding this sweet couple had me over to their home for dinner and immediately upon meeting Ray I just loved him… he is so full of life and genuineness that you just can’t help it… and he so obviously is crazy about his bride. Their wedding took place at the lovely Marty Leonard Chapel in Fort Worth… full of amazing light and architectural beauty… and their reception was held at the Times Ten Cellars… what a perfect love filled celebration.

I met the girls at the Omni downtown for what is always one of my favorite parts of the day… the getting ready time… and not only were these girls having makeup and hair done… they were making bouquets, and doing all manner of crafty artsy things for the reception. This is a talented bunch of ladies.

Once everyone was suitably gorgeous we all made our way to the chapel where Britt would put on her dress and she and Ray would have a first look before the ceremony. There were so many lovely personal details to this wedding… most made by the bride and her loved ones…

There is something so symbolic and wonderful about a bride’s mom, sister and best friends helping her into her dress… beautifully clothing and adorning her so to speak for that next phase of her life…

Such a sweet first look… Celeste and I always feel a little bit like intruders into these moments… but now Britt and Ray can relive it again and again…

It was finally time for that walk down the aisle in front of all the loved ones…

As Britt and Ray were exiting this happened… they both reached for their dad’s hand… and I just love this image…

This group was so happy and so willing to pose for photos… and the results were well worth it… this dreamy gray and white color palette made for such lovely photos!

You would never have known it was 90 something degrees… everyone looked spectacular… and so happy!

The knot was tied… the photos, mostly taken… time to celebrate! Notice the adorable cupcake tower and the special details like the display board made from wine corks filled with well wishes from guests…

So much joy… laughter and tears… and an amazing time was had by all! We were so honored to capture it for you two! xoxo
