Willoughbys (Willoughbies?)

famblogFor those of you who don't know this, my name is actually Tim Willoughby. Not TIMWILL. I shortened the name for you kind folks at home that can't spell my obscure surname. You're welcome. I wanted to post a few personal photos since I almost never do and since I know that both of my blog viewers out there would love to see what we look like these days. A few of these are a few months old. A few are much more recent.

Yes, I'm currently sporting a fancy new beard. Sort of reminiscent of a young Jon Goldsmith/Dos Equis I think. CLICK HERE

Unfortunately, it's a pretty awful red hue so I've decided on black and white photos. I'm sure it'll be all white soon enough though since old age (30) is knocking on my door.

Two notes on the photos.

1. As bad as I am at blogging, I'm much worse at taking personal photos. The gear is always in the car or I've been shooting all day, or my wife is just looking so terrible I can't stand to point the camera at her (that's a joke) ;) , or yadda yadda. I'm not going to make any weak resolutions about trying to be better at it. But I promise the world I'll be better at it. Most of these were taken by Sarah with her trusty iphone. One was taken by my buddy Sean Lata. He's awesome. Check him out. Anyways, these are just snap shots. If you hire me for your family photos I promise I can deliver better than these ;)

2. I'm not a scary person. I normally smile all the time but I haven't been hitting the teeth whiting toothpaste as hard as I should so I'm reluctant to flash my chompers at the camera.

One last thing I want to say, and I know you don't believe me, but I have so much stuff to blog that will be going online soon. I just don't want to put it all up at once because I'm afraid of crashing the intraweb with all the traffic that will inevitably ensue.

Charleston has been good to me and I've had amazing wedding after amazing wedding after amazing...etc.

Check back in.

New Proofing and a Charleston Engagement Session

TF2_4146I photographed a wonderful couple yesterday afternoon. We started the ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY at the battery and then finished the session just outside of CHARLESTON. Kris and Jacob are getting married this September at BOONE HALL PLANTATION. Very excited for that wedding! Sorry I haven't been blogging. This always happens to me. The days/weeks are just too short.

The KING STREET STUDIO is fully functional at this point but still needs a ton of work before I can post photos.

In other news, I got a brand spankin new proofing system that I'm pretty jazzed about.

If you want to check it out, you can view Kris and Jacob's full session and the new gallery here:

Sarah and Dominic

ac10f16a_1a_zoom_largeI'm still alive and well. Sorry I went MIA again from the blog! Things have been super hectic. On top of how busy I've been, and this is great, I have been struck down with the flu this week. Yes. Thanks universe. I didn't bother getting a flu shot this year because my superior immune system is above it. Also, Dwight says you shouldn't coddle your immune system and his advice is pretty sound usually.

I can't complain too much, especially after watching 127 Hours where the guy uses a pocket knife to cut his own arm off to survive. Not a bad movie if you don't need dialogue to be entertained. The whole time though I kept thinking of James Franco's acting lessons

PS: This shot of Sarah and Dom was taken on the iphone

The Polito Family

DSC_8923a_1Dominic and Christine are old friends of mine from college. I actually met my wife at their wedding so I figured the least I could do was give them a free portrait session :) Also, they're a ton of fun and their FOUR kids are super cute!

The shoot was in southern California a couple weeks ago when I was out west for an amazing wedding I'll be posting someday soon.

I love Charleston but the big Cali makes me weep. All you photogs on the west coast have it easy :)
