Tim Wheaton Photography |  Southern California Natural Light Photographer bio picture

they call me... tim

i know i should use capital letters, but i am not a fan of what it does to the letter
"I", in most cases. if i had to decide between a tree that grew time
and a tree that grew money, i would honestly have to sit and think about which
to pick the fruit from. i do not eat fruit. nope. ask me again and i'll tell
you the same. i don't eat fruit and i don't eat seafood. i like to think i am
not "picky" because i knock out whole food groups at a time. i've
been told i have a dry sense of humor. i've also been told i look like howie
mandel. i'm not sure if that is a compliment. i am uber-blessed to have a wife
who "deals with me"... though she may run into eye trouble one day
for how much she rolls her eyes at my antics.

i love to take photos. i love what they capture of my life and your lives. and then i
love to take those moments and "paint" on them... to reflect some of
the emotion that is already there in a unique way.

add this page to your bookmarks. i will continue to show sneak previews of what i am working
on as well as session summaries. you will also find random promotions and
discounts, as well as sporadic views into my and my family's life.

family at the arboretum

i had been to this location once before, meeting a hefty handful of photographers there a few years back. it struck me as a fairly diverse location, since there were so many different areas within it. i was excited to meet this family of four and to traipse around the arboretum with them. there were...

mini-session day one: family love aplenty

in webster’s dictionary, a ‘mini session’ is described as: “a hectic day wherein a photographer tries to squeeze as many families into one day, while getting great photos for the clients and keeping themselves from going over unhealthy levels of blood pressure…” okay… my dictionary may be out-of-date, granted. but, to some photographers, the words...
