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.

model shoot | neon boneyard | las vegas | fashion photographer

this post is so overdue. just goes to show how busy i have been… things that are not my “business shoots”, that are not for paying clients, fall by the wayside like this. i can’t even think to look at when i last even touched any family photos. anyway, when i was at the WPPI...

alexa | model

alexa and i went out to shoot a while back while i was testing out some new things. it’s always good to do “field tests” right? see how i did that? yeah… i know. i lay on the cheese pretty thick sometimes. anyway, she is a great model and her sister and friends were such...

shaniqua | harbour island, bahamas

there i was, driving my little golf cart around the island, hours before i would be leaving to fly home. i had finally decided to take out my camera and take some “tourist-y” photos of where i had been all week. i passed a lot of people along my way, always waving as i drove...

amanda at the sea | model | southern california photography

when i said to a bride and groom last year: “what would you think about a trash the dress at the salton sea”, i could never have known what an impact those words would have on my life as a photographer. it’s a little bit of a trek for me to make it out to...

experiment in color and motion

….that is kind of what photography is for me… constantly. how do i see this? now how do i see it differently? and maybe even now. kind of like the kid with the spoon in the matrix? i think that is one of the photographer’s traits or “gifts”, if you will. to see the same...
