Tiffiney Photography bio picture

Tiffiney Photoblog

So glad you're here, and you've probably come because you love photography as much as I do! A little about me...obviously I photograph primarly weddings and babies. For me it's a healthy mix. As for my photography, I'm honestly just following the call that God has placed on my life and feel so blessed to be able to do what I love.

My husband and I just had our first baby born at 25 weeks, on the 4th of July. She is a complete miracle and we are blessed to still have her with us. This blog has become a mix of her story and my studio's story. I hope in some way you find hope from our journey and inspiration from the photographs.

 



You can find Sadie's story by using the category link above. Be sure to grab some tissue!

If you would like to contact me regarding photography for your special beginning you can call me at the studio 864.647.2400 or use the contact form here on the blog.

I hold seasonal blog contests so be sure to visit often. Fall/Winter contest and Summer contest winner announced here.

Gallery Show Info | Mark Your Calendar | Next Friday

Everything you need to know about Your Angels: Please Take A Minute To Read

Gallery show opening night next FRIDAY, the 19th, from 5:30-8:30! 25% of each gallery show piece sold will go towards the pregnancy care center this night only, you will also find out who made the calendar!
I will also be at the Artist Loft on that Sat, the 20th, from 10-2. The Artists’ Loft is across from the Ye Ole Sandwich Shoppe, look for the purple door.

Your gallery show piece: I’m really excited about the pieces for the show. Each print is a new product only offered for this show! Just so you have a heads up, depending on the size your piece was printed it will be in the range of $155-$275. Again, these pieces need no framing they are ready to hang on your walls. You must wait until the gallery show is over before picking up your prints, which will be mid-May. Pretty cool that your children get to hang in a running art show for 2 months!
ONLY for those of you with multiple prints (children) you can do half the amount at the opening night and the other half when you pick your piece up in May. I want all of you guys to have the opportunity to purchase if you would like.

For those of you who may not have been to a gallery show before. Each piece hanging will have a label under it, with the name of the piece and the price. To purchase a piece you will go to the counter and tell them which you’d like to buy.

The Calendar: Calendars will be available the opening night as well. I am printing 20 for the first run. ALL of these proceeds (minus the cost to print) will go towards the pregnancy care center. If they sell out, I will be taking orders for additional printing. Calendars will be $20 each and they run from April 2010-April 2011.

Because of the craziness of the downtown-go-around there will be no formal announcements/speeches. However, everything you need to know about the awards will be printed in a program, make sure you get one!

Ordering Online: Online ordering will be open for one week, from March 22-29th, in the same place that your images are viewable now. All online orders will receive 25% off. Once the gallery expires on the 29th there will be a $100 minimum order required. I will be in the office on Tuesday the 23rd only for studio orders. If you need to order in the studio this is the day to do it, contact me to set up a time.

Facebook: Many of you have asked about an image for your facebook profile. I will upload all at once after the gallery show.

Hope I’ve addressed all of your questions. If you have other questions or concerns please feel free to email me! info@tiffineyphotography.com

Fun Night Idea: Some Moms are making this a very special night by taking their child(ren) out to eat somewhere nice that afternoon, then coming over to the show. This is a GREAT idea of how to make it fun and special for your child. Also, the Blue Ridge Arts Center is opening a student show that same night at their location. This is a great opportunity to introduce your children to the arts! Both the Artists’ Loft and the Blue Ridge Arts Center are working to make this a great family night!

Alison - Thank you for asking me to help! I'm so looking forward to it!!!

Spring, could it be?

We (me and my clients) are pretty happy here at Tiffiney Photography…that spring seems to be just around the corner. This warmer weather has been refreshing. Get your hats on and get outside!

Sara S. - Hehehe!!! So sweet! Can't wait to see the flowers bloomin!!

Jennifer Shoemaker - She is so adorable:)

Eva Thomas - Like a breath us fresh air!

A Miracle x3

I fell in love with these well behaved triplets! Honestly, their session went much quicker than some single baby sessions. It was quite toasty with the gas logs, but i really think it did the trick. Like Sadie Mae these sweet girls spent some time in the NICU, I can’t imagine what it was like to finally bring 3 home…we were elated with just one. These girls are definitely triple the blessing, triple the miracle!

Heather - and the one on top in the first picture!

Heather - Jack's girlfriend is the one on the far left!!!

Tiffiney - Rach--that's sweet...they could do a switch-a-roo on him and he'd never know. haha!

Rachel - How precious! These girls are beautiful! Which one is Jack's girlfriend?

Tiffiney - I wish it was as easy as laying a baby down! :) Posing is always involved. hehe

Erica - Amazing (as always)! Did you pose them or did they just lay like that when you guys laid them down? I love how they are cuddling!

Sadie Laughs

Here’s our sweet girl, laughing out loud for the first time. She’s come really close a few times before. I swanny this will not turn into a video library of Sadie Mae…I don’t think…haha!

Tracie B - You Post away!! We LOVE Seeing her anytime we can!!! Love her little Laugh!!

Renee Adams - SOOOO CUTE TIFF!!! She is precious!

Janice - Oh My! That is the sweetest thing - so happy she is doing so good - sure hope to see more videos of her!! She is a cutie pie!! Her laugh made me laugh out loud!

Jennifer Crosby - I love it! She has the sweetest laugh:)

Tiffiney - nicole- how sweet! thanks! blessed for sure. yep anna...hate we missed ya! we were following him, thought maybe you would be with. :(

Nicole - I watched it several times and laughed and cried! Isn't God amazing!

Anna Smith - Tiffiney, This is the sweetest video ever! I wish that I could keep my boys from being sick so we can visit you guys! Steve said that he got to see you guys the other day in the car. He was teasing me that he got to see Sadie before me! lol :o)

Jennifer Shoemaker - Love it!!!

Last day to vote for your angel!

Today is the last day. If you haven’t voted yet, or if you’d like to vote again, do it now! Here’s the link to the vote post, angels among us.

Sadie Mae | 8 months | Smiles

Loving my new camera! Finally you get to see Sadie Mae in video!! Here’s a few smiles. Ignore the annoying mommy in the background.

heidi - alright...maybe a bit country...but still sweet

Tracie B - I LOVE THIS!! TKS for sharing her!! :)

Tiffiney - ok. so, not annoying...but sooo country! haha!

Nicole - Tiffiney-she is so precious! That big smile and those beautiful eyes - they just light up!

heidi - you're so not annoying, that's what mommies are supposed to do! she is precious, such a great big smile.

Evening Routine

We’ve fallin’ into a routine with Sadie Mae for sure. She knows when daddy gets home it’s play time in the floor. The therapist says this is the best exercise for her, tummy time, so that’s what we try to do often. She is liking her tummy more and more these days, and she’s getting quite animated…as if she hasn’t been from the start. I remember in the NICU she smiled soooo much, then we got home and the smile turned into a cry. I think, hopefully, the crying is over and the smiles are back. I treasure these photos, because this is so their relationship right now. This one is Scott’s favorite. She found his beard and she loves it! When she’s sleepy and he’s rocking her she slaps at it, partly because she can’t quite control her hands yet…oh but just wait…one day it will be painful. She’s such a Daddy’s girl.

Faith - oh sweet baby- there is nothing cuter than a baby girl with her daddy- mine are daddies girls too- When Wren was still tiny she would rub whomever picked her on the chin looking for her Daddy- when she found his beard she would sigh and go right back to sleep- Sadie's using her new sensory skills very well :)

Brianna - It's amazing to see Scott's left hand with his wedding ring on it holding her up and remembering how it slid all the way down her arm. There is nothing more awesome than our God!

Jennifer Crosby - Hannah Rose is such a Daddy's girl also! She is so funny and when he is gone and I'm watching her she asks a million times, "Where's Daddy at?" Soooooooooo funny! I bet Sadie Mae will be saying the same thing! Mommys give birth to little girls and then Daddys take over lol!

The Mountain | A Family

The mountain is great for family sessions…not just bridal…although it does make for some kickin’ bridal portraits! I’ve been wanting to photograph a family up there forever. So, this session had a two-fold purpose. These guys needed family portraits for a special cause, and I wanted family portraits to hang in the remodeled studio, which by the way lots of you saw the “in progress” lobby when you came for angel portraits, sorry for the mess! Anyway, I gave Heidi an idea of what was in my head and she ran with it, picking out the cutest outfits! I swanny I need to hire her as a stylist for my clients. Little did I know how perfect her outfits really were until I started editing the photos. The yellow, with the yellow grass, red with the warm sunset, it really could not have been any better!

Here’s the gallery wrap composite, or something of the sort, that will hang on my lobby wall eventually. Isn’t this great?!


Brianna - This has got to be one of the cutest families I've ever seen. As always, pics are beautiful!

Nicole - These are great! Heidi- what a beautiful family and oh so stylish!!! :-)

heidi - oh tif! I love them. thank you SO much. they are going to be perfect.

Gallery Show Information

I am soooooooo happy to announce the location of the Angels Among Us gallery show. There’s lots of information coming in the next blog post tomorrow, the voting post, so I wanted to get this information out first.

The Artist Loft in downtown Seneca has graciously opened their gallery space for your kiddos! They, like me, have a passion for art and community. I am beyond excited to partner with them for this special charity event to benefit the Foothills Pregnancy Care Center! Details below. Please, please, please mark your calendars and plan to attend. This will be a very special celebration of art, community, and children.

Show Dates: Opening night, March 19th downtown-go-around kickoff, 5:30-8:30. The gallery will hang (be open for visitors) until May! Your child’s portrait hanging in an art show for almost 2 months…how awesome is that?? What a compliment to all your beautiful children and what a great way to introduce your child to the art community!

Other show information: Every child will have a print hanging in the gallery show. Gallery prints will be available for purchase, proceeds to benefit the Foothills Pregnancy Care Center. Come out and bring your friends for a very special night. Calendar kids will be announced and other awards presented, probably not in a formal presentation, but by me at some point during the night. There will be lots of other visitors as this is a very special night for the downtown area of Seneca. Refreshments will be served. Location of the Loft is the street across from the Ye Ole Sandwich Shoppe, look for the purple door.

If you have questions about the show please contact me, here on the blog or email me at info@tiffineyphotography.com

WOOHOO! I’ve got lots to do!!! Be looking for a special email from me today. I need information from each participant asap!

OH, voting opens tomorrow and will be open for one week…get those pennies together! All how-to voting info will be posted with tomorrow’s post.
