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.

 

Featured in Washingtonian Bride & Groom

I really don’t have the words to express how honored and ecstatic I am to be featured in the newest issue of Washingtonian’s Bride & Groom.  Needless to say, there was lots of dancing around the house when I found out, and I think there will be at least one bottle of champagne opened in order to celebrate!  Washingtonian Bride & Groom is such a respected, wonderful publication, and I cannot believe they chose to feature my photographs in their first Real Weddings spread!  Please pick up your issue - available on newsstands today! - to check out photographs of Linde & Frank’s gorgeous River Farm wedding on pages 34-35!  Cheers!

Laura & Steve at Strong Mansion

This wedding was the perfect way to end my 2011 wedding season.  The second I saw Laura - with her huge, huge smile - I knew it was going to be a joyful, fun, and relaxed day, and it was.  Laura and Steve are such a happy, laid-back couple and their family and friends are the same way, so needless to say, I loved their wedding.  The ceremony took place at Calvary United Methodist Church in Frederick, Maryland - a church that has a lot of history for both Laura and Steve’s families.  Three generations of their families have attended the church regularly, and Laura’s parents and Steve’s brother were also married there!  After the gorgeous ceremony, the festivities moved to one of my favorite venues in the area -  Strong Mansion at Sugarloaf Mountain.  Strong Mansion is such a pretty site and there was just enough sunlight remaining for us to enjoy the pretty surroundings and get a few pictures before the celebration began.  Congratulations, Laura & Steve!  Thank you for letting Wale and I be a part of your fabulous wedding!
