A few personal photos

family

Last month Pat and I made a short trip to Texas to attend the Digital Wedding Forum Convention and the Imaging USA trade show in San Antonio. Afterward, we snuck away to Austin for a whirlwind visit to see my cousins and aunt. It was so nice getting to hang out with them! I did a few impromptu portraits. Here are my favorites. Enjoy!

My cousin Sheila and her beautiful family.

My cousin Omar and his beautiful family.

All the kids. Love them!

Rhea, who’s already started college.

Sierra, aged 10. She’s such a little spark :o)

Shane. I can’t believe how big he’s getting!

Lily, who’s smart as a whip.

Katara. She stole Pat’s heart! What a cutie!

Bruce, who was two months premature, and now look at him! He’s a big boy now!

This little one is special: my god daughter, Hope.

Omar and his wife, Andrea.

Sheila and her husband, David.

My aunt (and godmother), Linda. I wish I could see her more often!

Pat being attacked by wild dogs!

This is Momo.

This is Zoe.

How did we get them to sit at attention so perfectly? Bacon!

Me and my little cutie pie!

Four days in the desert

art


Last week I had the pleasure of attending four days of photography workshops and seminars in Carefree, Arizona, a small desert town north of Phoenix. The Arizona desert in winter is really wonderful. The weather is temperate during the day (it was pretty much 70 degrees without fail) and chilly at night, and the landscape is just incredible. While I was there I managed to just take a handful of scenic photos with my little point and shoot camera — but most of the time I was either in class with my fellow photographers or in the bar! Here are a few of my faves — I hope you enjoy them! (And if you are interested in a print, please contact me.)





Best thank you card ever!

I’ve been so busy with Christmas orders that I haven’t had time to blog at all! Sorry readers, I’ve been doing some nice photo shoots but have had no opportunity to share them here. That will all change in a few days’ time when the Christmas rush subsides.

Until then, I wanted to share with you this “thank you” that I received today from one of my favorite clients, Sami, who’s ten years old. Sami, you made my whole day! I think I’ll put this on my refrigerator!

Happy holidays everyone! Tamera

Charlotte & Mike

friends


Yesterday I did a photoshoot trade of sorts with my good friend Charlotte — I took portraits of her and her husband Mike, and then she took portraits of me and Pat. It was so much fun! Charlotte, Mike and their dog Ally posed for my camera at Red Rock Canyon, a favorite spot of theirs and close to their home. Mike was a really great sport about it, considering he doesn’t love getting his picture taken so much! And of course Charlotte looks radiant as always, and Ally wins the Miss Photogenic award for cutest dog ever. Charlotte is such a killer photographer, Pat and I were happy to pose for her camera afterward! I’ll post those photos later, after I get them from Char.

Hey guys we should do this more often! Tamera






Here’s Miss Ally. Is she not adorable?!?






Me and my buddy Charlotte! Photo by Mike. Thanks Mike!

Announcing my new blog!

personal photos

For those of you that regularly follow my blog, I have a new one for you to read! It’s called Colorado Springs Daily Photo and it can be found here: http://csdailyphoto.blogspot.com Basically it’s just what the title implies, one photo per day of Colorado Springs. You may have noticed that I sometimes show personal photos here on the Click Photography blog (like the Barney’s Diner ones below), but it was actually becoming more and more rare for me to take any personal pics and to show them off. So the new blog gives me a great outlet. I can’t always get out every single day to take a photo of my city (as many of you know how busy I am), so the photos in each post aren’t necessarily taken on the day of the post. But this does encourage me to take more personal pictures and do it well. Even in the short time I’ve been doing this, it’s been a real boost to my creativity and I hope that will show in my professionally taken photos as well.

Enjoy, and visit often — it’s updated daily!
