We recently connected with Pamela Tuckey and have shared our conversation below.

Pamela, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today What’s been the most meaningful project you’ve worked on?

I am currently in the midst of a campaign to celebrate and showcase 40 women over 40. The photos I’ve taken of my women and the stories I’ve heard are just incredible. Many tears have been shed.

Pamela, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

Pamela Tuckey is a Dallas and Fort Worth Texas-based portrait photographer who specializes in high school seniors, glamour, boudoir, and headshot photography. Her photography style is magazine-styled, contemporary, fun, and candid. She has lived in Flower Mound since 1993.

Photographs preserve us and the moment we are in, forever suspended in time. At this moment we are older than we ever were and younger than we will ever be again. Prints become priceless heirlooms, they tell our story to future generations. When we create a photo, we are making more than a piece of paper with an image on it, we are giving a tangible piece of time…. something that can never be recovered. Photographs capture a moment that is gone forever. Much more than just memories; they should be held and displayed. It’s the first thing people say they would grab if the house was on fire.

I believe everyone deserves to have a beautiful portrait. I invite you to stand in front of my camera and allow me to create an amazing portrait you will fall in love with. Celebrate YOU with a session, the experience will change the way you see yourself. We all have a story to tell. With my camera, I can make time stand still, and I will capture an image of you that stands the test of time. A picture speaks a thousand words. It is a biography of a moment in time.

Exist in photos.

Do you think there is something that non-creatives might struggle to understand about your journey as a creative? Maybe you can shed some light?

I’ve been told so many times how amazing my camera is. I say “Thanks, I taught it everything it knows.” A photographer went to a socialite party in New York. As he entered the front door, the host said “I love your pictures – they’re wonderful; you must have a fantastic camera.” He said nothing until dinner was finished, then: “That was a wonderful dinner; you must have a terrific stove.” It’s not the arrow that gets the shot, it’s the Indian.

What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?

My camera is just my mirror to show people how I see them and how they should see themselves. It’s always a beautiful journey.
