Welcome to Colorado Springs Daily Photo!


Hi, I'm Tamera, a professional wedding, portrait and boudoir photographer in Colorado Springs. But this blog isn't about my professional work; no, it's a daily love note to my beautiful city, where I've lived for most of my life. I love it here and I hope you enjoy seeing Colorado Springs through my eyes and lens!

I've been known to occasionally use test shots from my various photo shoots as filler for the blog. Lately that happens an awful lot. Behold, an utterly terrible, boring and never-meant-for-the-blog lighting test from some senior portraits I did in a gritty alley in Old Colorado City a couple of weeks ago. Honestly, I am so tired. This thing where I work 40 hours a week at a corporate day job and try to run my (previously full time, in the days before Covid) photography business is getting old. I have almost no free time, and that includes time for sleep. It's a miracle that I get to the blog at all! Going back to corporate America in August of 2020 was a huge adjustment, and as my business has slowly recovered this year, I'm finding it harder and harder to have a personal life. Moreover, I feel like Click Photography is rebuilding at an unnecessarily slow pace because I don't have the energy to put into the nuts and bolts of the business. So last week I finally decided to go part time at my day job. What a huge relief! Now I'll be able to devote energy to my small business again, keep up with shoots and orders, AND have a life. Maybe I'll even find time to do the things I love again, like reading, knitting and sewing. And maybe I won't have to bore you with test shots like this one quite so often. We shall see! Wish me luck!

It sounds like a good decision.
