Dressed to the 20′s ~ Jessica & Clint ~ Bucks County,PA
WOW! Tyler and I had such a fun time working with Jessica and Clint. So the story goes that Clint bought Jessica a vintage bike & restored it for her. OK, how romantic, right? Now he and Jessica do the Dandies & Quaintrelles ride in DC…I had never heard of this before but…SUPER COOL & great inspiration. All of us, team Tyler Boye Photography and J&C, wanted to stylize their shoot to reflect their passion! I must say lots of brainstorming and dead relatives stuff later we had an AMAZING shoot.
This shoot has really gotten us thinking about what each shoot CAN BE if you are willing to PUSH IT. We will go to the ends of the earth to do a great shoot…we lay in bed mulling over great shoot ideas, scour the internet for ideas, it is OUR fun. It was great to see how Clint and Jessica really thought through each element of their outfits, pocket watches, vintage glasses & shoes, and the cutest peddle pushers EVER! We called Jessica and suggested garters…very 20′s, right? She was such a great sport and did whatever we suggested…it really helped to make this shoot all that it is. Jessica never stopped smiling & Clint managed to stay awake, fun was had by all.
Set up your brainstorm with us so we can create beautiful imagery of you, your love & your passion. Attitude is everything, but style REALLY helps! Oh and hats off to Tyler on the opening shot that is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen!

Attitude is EVERYTHING!
WELCOME to a new day at Tyler Boye Photography…we are going to give our followers a little more than just postings of weddings and work…Hope you enjoy!!
-Stephanie & Tyler
It dawned on me this week, after so many great shoots with my super cool brides, that I need to share with you a big “sort-of” secret…Attitude is EVERYTHING! A great percentage of my couples tell me they are nervous about our engagement shoot or that they don’t know how to pose or act in front of the camera {OR more specifically… the groom is nervous/doesn’t like the camera}. So after 15 years behind the camera, professionally, I can give you FIVE bits of advice.
One, before our shoot maybe look at old pics of yourself. Pictures that you like and dislike…what is it you like? The look you are giving, the angle of your face, the way your hair is, the way you are standing? What don’t you like about some of your pictures? Your chin is up too high, your making a funny smirk? OK now you are a little wiser about what you are going to do or not do when we shoot.
Two, I would say look at other peoples pictures in magazines, on blogs, friends e-shoot & wedding pics. Notice what you like, what appeals to you. BRING IT to our shoot. Today is your day to be Natalie Portman, Taylor Swift, Kate Moss or (insert favorite model name here)! Shyness may only hold you back from getting the pictures you want but hey if that is you…play that roll. You can be an actress/actor for the day. Visualize it in your head what you want to be for the pictures. Bring props that work to that end, practice doing make up that works for your persona in the pictures. For example, if you are doing a e-shoot at a creek and you are going to be in cut offs, a bikini top, and wellies think about what hair will work for that look and make up. Maybe braids, bandana, simple clean make up…probably not mascara if you are going to get wet…but dripping mascara can look great too…its what YOU want!
Three, when all else fails remember you are taking pictures with your TRUE LOVE….Show it! Get comfortable with your man/girl. You love each other, right? You know how to hug, kiss, snuggle…practice so you are comfortable doing it with me behind the camera…don’t be shy hug, kiss, grab your mans face and kiss him. You can be sexy, this is your shoot and these pictures are meant to be fun, sexy, flirty, most importantly show the two of you IN LOVE!
Four, have fun, have fun, have fun…be yourself, your true self….
Five, since this is not brain surgery, a great glass of wine never hurt to make the butterflies go away!! Cheers….to a great shoot!

Trista & Chris ~ April 30th, 2012 ~ Philadelphia Navy Yard
Trista & Chris made this shoot soo easy because of their excitement and commitment to the shoot! Trista thanks for all the props (though we never got to use them!!). My background is in fashion so all of the great outfits & accessories were so fun and exactly what I love to do. The location couldn’t have been cooler…thanks Chris for thinking of it!! A great time was had by all. ~Tyler
Logan & Brian Maternity shoot ~ April 20th, 2012 ~ Blue Bell, Pa
Last Friday I shot these beautiful pictures of Logan & Brian. Together we have done engagement, wedding, trash the dress & now maternity…thanks for the opportunity to be part of these precious moments, congratulations Logan & Brian!! 
Olivia ~ April 19th 2012 ~ Philadelphia, PA
Tyler Boye Photography is now doing senior portraits. By treating it more like a fashion shoot, we put a modern spin to the traditional pictures. It was fun to show Olivia’s style…part “girly”, part rock & roll in this session shot on a farm in Montgomery Co. 
Nikita & Ross ~ April 2, 2012 ~ Philadelphia, PA
What do you do with two teachers in the heart of Philadelphia? Nikita and Ross were both nervous at the start of the shoot but as you can see they pulled it off just fine. Nikita is obsessed with mustaches and I granted her wish. Hope you kids enjoy the pictures. I know I had a blast capturing your personalities.
