Timmester Photography bio picture

Welcome to my Blog!

My name is Tracy, and I am super passionate about photography!  I'm also really fascinated by people and how we interact with one another - when in love, with family, with friends, etc.  Fortunately for me, I have a career that lets me focus on these two passions!  I think photographs are so important.  I can't tell you how many hours I've spent pouring over my parents' old wedding album, my husband's childhood albums, and my grandparents pictures from the '30s and '40s.  I love that photographs can evoke laughter, smiles, and memories.  I think I have the coolest job in the world!

This blog is a diary of my most recent work, including weddings, engagements, portraits, lifestyle sessions, and the ocassional tidbit from my own life.  Please look around my blog, check out my main website, or find me on Facebook.  Contact me if you have any questions or if you want to set up a consultation!  Thanks.

 

A Quick Holiday Recap

Thursday, January 12, 2012 Posted in Personal

HAPPY 2012!!!

I hope you had a relaxing, indulgent holiday break filled with too many sweets and tons of time with your family!  While editing photos of my own wonderful Christmas, I determined that my family is so darn cute - I just have to proudly share photos of them with all of you!  So bear with me as I give you a quick recap of my fabulous holiday break with family….    Blake and I spent Christmas morning with his awesome family in Alexandria.  Our niece and nephew, Janna and Miles, are two of the most precocious and lovable children on the planet.  It was wonderful to watch them enjoy their presents, which included a pair of roller skates for each of them, a princess dress for Janna, and a toy leaf blower (with goggles!) for Miles.  Needless to say, the roller skates provided us with endless entertainment and activity for the next few days.

And then a few days after Christmas I traveled down to South Carolina to celebrate the New Year with my family.  In general it was a calm, wonderful visit with lots of food, conversation, a little bit of shopping, and hours of Scattegories, but there was one raucous night when we had 16 people gathered together in one house for a pizza party.  It reminded me of the opening scene of Home Alone, one of my favorite holiday movies, even down to the spilled soda.  I loved it.  :)

This is one of my favorites from the holiday.  This is my brother, Scott, and our exuberant nephew, Eric.  He cracks me up.

My sister-in-law, Zeynep, was successful in convincing Emma, Ethan and Eric to play the "quiet game". Here they are, zipping up their lips. :)

We did a quick family photo on New Year's Eve ... (we're going to have to photoshop Blake in to this one :)

... and then brought in the New Year with lots and lots of Scattegories. It's becoming a Timmester family tradition. :)

A Lazy Morning

Friday, December 23, 2011 Posted in Personal

We have some seriously cute cats.  This one here, Daisy, doesn’t usually like to be photographed - to my extreme frustration.  Normally, she hears the shutter and promptly gets up and moves on.  But this morning she let me photograph her in all of her sunbathing glory - she was practically modeling for me - and I just had to share the cuteness.  Happy Holidays!!

This was how I found her. So darn cute.

This was how I found her. So darn cute. And our windows are dirty. Don't judge.

And then she started modeling.

And then she started modeling.

And here’s our other cutie, Roscoe.  He normally does model - fortunately he has no qualms with it - so we have tons of pictures of this adorable fur ball.  But here’s one from just last week so he’s not left out of the post.  :)

I hope your morning is just as lazy and splendid.  Merry Christmas!!
