Runs in the Family

Black and white images. I know there are photogra

Black and white images. I know there are photographers who deliver every photo they take in both color and black and white. There are also photographers who love that contrast so much they mostly deliver black and white.

But me? I want to hand pick what I think speaks to me in black and white... and two things tend to emerge.
First is texture - I love images that have layers and stories and that make your eyes wander around the frame...not being able to take it all in at one glance. They're harder to achieve but so satisfying to my storytelling heart.
The second is emotion. Black and white images strip away any distraction and just slam you right into how someone is feeling in that second. I never get tired of deciding which precious handful get my attention in black and white. I'm always tweaking and layering and pushing and pulling highlights and shadows.
So when you see one of my images in black and white? I'm trying to tell you something. 🖤

When I think about this day - I think about all the moments that were filled with love and not hate. That no matter what, no matter how hard things get - love is what matters. #dogood #neverforget -photo credit unknown

Give me sunrise every once in a while. Add a pair

Give me sunrise every once in a while. Add a pair of dogs and a fearless girl ready to make real changes in the world. Give me the uncertainty of what will happen when the sun rises and a tiny timeline to get it right. Give me unfiltered views of the world and the grace to see@my place in it. Give me purple mountain ranges and scary drives. Give me living and breathing and loving every single unexpected adventure that comes my way. #mountainside #sunriseonamountain #dogsonamountain #goodmorning #coloradomountains #tammyswalestravels #tammyswalesphotography #adventurelife

When your day starts with a photo session on private property on a mountaintop you know it's not a typical day. I couldn't breathe it was so beautiful! #colorado #mountains🗻 #sunriseonthemountain #tammyswalesphotography #tammyswalestravels
