This is why I do it!

Photographers have to use so many cliches to advertise and sell their services e.g. “timeless photos”, “picture-perfect memories”, “capturing the moment”, etc. I can say I at least tried to not use any cliches on my homepage or anywhere else on my site. Hopefully I’ve succeeded. Not just because I think cliches are cheesy, but because I think they often come across as insincere, and the last thing I want to do is betray how I really view photography. I see it as having the ability to kindle and rekindle, create and deepen relationships. So for families who get photos every year for Christmas cards, it becomes more than the card. It’s a tradition. Something they do and look forward to as a family. In a recent shoot, it was much more than just another photo session for the client. I’ll let her speak for herself. This is what she wrote in my google review…

“My extended family of 9 vacationed in Estes Park the last two weeks. My mom has advanced Vascular Dementia. My family has visited Estes Park many times over the last 32 years, and we wanted to make sure we captured this memory knowing it’s very well my mom’s last trip to our favorite place. I reached out to Tyson, and immediately I could tell he was the photographer I wanted to work with. He was prompt in response, kind, accommodating of my mom’s and family’s needs and his online gallery was simply breathtaking. His communication through the planning process was great and he chose an absolutely stunning location, while keeping my mom’s physical needs in mind. My entire family adored him and enjoyed our time together. He got our photos back to us in just a few days, and to say they are gorgeous would be an understatement. They are truly beyond what we hoped for and captured exactly what I had in mind. My immediately family is planning a Colorado ski trip in Christmas of ‘25, and we will most certainly be reaching out to Tyson to capture those memories as well! 10000% recommend reaching out to him!”
