• Hi, I’m Ty! you probably knew that, BUT did you know: • I used to be a competition rock climber • I once jumped off a cliff with a 500 foot free-fall attached to a “rope swing” • My dream vacations consist primarily of the most remote locations on earth So how about you? What’s something I might not know about you? Let me know in the comments!

  • How do you want your photographer to make you feel in front of the camera? My goal when photographing you is to provide a space comfortable enough for you to let your freak flag fly. Whatever it is that makes you unconventional, unique, counterculture, I want to see it. I know you're probably super suave and put together, but the reality is, I'm not. I like to think I embody the aura of Beyonce, but I'm probably a lot more Maya Rudolph. AND I LOVE THAT FOR ME. When you're in front of my camera, I give you permission to be yourself, and any version of yourself you want to be. Chances are, I'll likely make fool of myself by doing something silly, but when your reaction to that is to let your walls down, I'm okay with it. This is a safe space where we can be ourselves, no judgement, only love.

  • I remember the first time I had to ask a photographer if they were comfortable taking photos of my partner and me. Cue internal panic attack.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The kicker - I was asking someone I considered a close friend. Yet, I was so nervous I would get turned away due to religious reasons. This is a reality many LGBT+ couples are faced with and knowing that doesn't make it any less scary or stressful when you're in those same shoes.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is one of the biggest reasons I make sure you know my stance on equality and inclusion. I want you to know that you will never have to face fear of acceptance by choosing me as a photographer. When you step in front of my camera, I want you to not only know you are accepted, but feel it as well. To know you are celebrated, rejoiced, and have a cheerleader rooting for you every step of the way.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What about you? Have you ever faced fear or rejection from those around you? Let me know in the comments or send me a DM. I want to hear your story! #thecreativeentrepreneurcommunity

  • A how-to guide on taking the perfect headshot. I’ve learned a thing or two since becoming a photographer, and I want to share some of that wisdom with you! Here are a few of my tried-and-true techniques: 1. Wear a neutral-colored or mostly single-colored top. The goal is to draw focus to YOU. Think of yourself as the star (these are your headshots after all) and your clothes are the supporting actor - equally as important to portraying the image, but their goal is to highlight the main story - YOU! 2. Think of your background. A plain background will give of a professional vibe, while a more detailed background will provide personality and character. Choose which suits you best....or try both! 3. Break the rules and have fun! Headshots are your digital first-impression. Show your personality, show your uniqueness, show your weird. Whatever makes you the person you are, that's what your headshot is about. Don't feel like you’re constrained to a stiff, rigid conception of what headshots were "back in the day." That's so 2000. I hope this helps, friend! Comment below if you’d like to see more of these tips in the future!

  • I’ve always felt that being normal is, well, pretty boring.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🙈🙊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To be honest, I’ve found life to be way more fun when I embrace my completely weird self! And y'all... trust and believe that I can be pretty weird. 😆😅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I know everyone says they’re weird when no one’s around, but I really am and here’s some proof! 🙃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I once bought a pair of gold @jimmychoo stilettos solely to wear with a full tail-coat tuxedo to a formal gala dinner with professional industry peers. You guys. Professional 👏🏼 Industry 👏🏼 Peers 👏🏼 👠💃💅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Another time, after wrapping up a shoot in South Africa, I decided to [attempt to] sing Power of Love by @CelineDIon to a room of completely sober individuals. (I got called first of the night and I have NO singing capabilities whatsoever).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🔇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I even once quoted the Beatles in a cover letter thinking I was being cute and funny. Spoiler alert, I got the job, but it was a RISK.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🙌🙏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I told you I’m not normal. But I think that’s what makes me unique, fun and exciting!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🎊🎉🎊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do you feel the same way? C’mon, I went first. What makes you weird? Spill the tea!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ☕⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #tyzwilson #dallasweddingphotographer #lgbtweddingphotographer #lgbtqweddingphotographer #gayweddingphotographer #weddingphotographer #authentic #liveyourtruth #loveyourself #lovewins #identity
