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.

margo: from friend to model

margo has been a good friend of mine for a handful of years now (years come in handfuls… dollars come in fistfuls). i think from the time i started taking photography more seriously, i had it in my mind to do a shoot with her. she has a certain… je ne sais pas about her...

melissa: a very special TTD

TTD is another common term for photographers to use (i.e.: e-session, SOOC, etc.) that sometimes we will just say and people will cock their heads to the side a little. TTD stands for “trash the dress”… said dress being a wedding gown. don’t get too uppity… you don’t literally trash it. it is just a...

olivia: a playdate in the fog

i met olivia through a fellow photographer and good friend, tracie. we had a “photography playdate” with olivia (amongst others) previously and i kept in touch with olivia for future shoot possibilities. some plans went awry this day, and by the time we got to the beach, it was enveloped with this thick bank of...
