About Me

I'm Tommy Waddell — and this photo is why I do what I do.

I’ve spent a lifetime working hard, raising kids and doing the things that needed to be done. Every job, every long day, every challenge — it all brought me to a place where I could finally invest in the thing that fuels me. It started with capturing moments of my own family. The more I photographed, the more I realized it wasn't a hobby anymore — it was a craft, a calling, and eventually a profession I wanted to pursue with everything I had.

Real moments. Real stories. Real life.

That's what I want to capture for you — images that feel alive, the ones that still hold meaning long after the moment has passed.

I photograph portraits / families / models / events in the foothills or on location. If you've got a moment worth keeping, I'd love to hear about it.
