C. Tyson

My life is one that is a lot like yours. It has some color, it has lots of laughs, it has some tears and I have my fair share of scars, one of which was rocking a legit mullet for most of highschool. 

If you do not know any hurts, it is almost impossible to so deeply appreciate the highs. Elizabeth and I will be welcoming our little boy into the world in December of 2018! Since we first met almost 8 years ago, our lives have intertwined in a way that I could only describe as something that is a beautiful and perfect mess. Our story is just simply us and I am so proud to have her by my side.

Barhett’s first few weeks in Elizabeth’s womb were a little rough lol, ask me story sometime, but you got me back by making me miss a trip to Mexico when you arrived 3 weeks early. Since you then you try and talk to every person, every animal and every object is a hat in your hands.

Bear Bear makes us laugh, makes us cry but he is such a perfect blend of Elizabeth and I’s personality. 

My family lived in Green Bay for many years before I was born, so I was raised on the Packers. I watched many of the lean years while sitting on my families couch and now I get to sit on my couch, with my boys and watch some of the best years in Packer history. I am a share holding owner, the stock certificate is hanging in my studio and after 12 years of being on the waiting list, I am only 68,000th in line for season tickets!

I have been lucky enough to see quite a few parts of what makes this world and its people pretty special. I am always down for an adventure, whether it be to find the best ice cream shop, or to hike a mountain. 

I once went to Chile and ran into some slight travels issues and by slight, it took me 60 hours to get there. I missed flights because of broken planes. I spent the night on a cot with a weird stain on it. I spent the afternoon at a bus stop in foreign country. All the while, making sure my camera bag did not disappear on me. I look back at it now and I so thankful I had that experience and would not trade it for anything 🙂

Every year I find myself in the great position of donating my time and photographs to my community. From going to back to my high school for the past 3 years to photographing some of my community’s largest gala’s, I have built some amazing friendships and witnessed how people can truly positively impact their community. 

It is my honor and privileged to share what I have been blessed with. If you ever have the chance to take part in giving back to your community, please do! If you are in my community and looking to help, please let me know!

A few years ago, I juggled the transition of working my old full time job and starting to photograph full time, I found myself at a point where picking up my camera because a little less fun that it used to be.

The desire I had to learn and create was being pushed into a job and growing my business. I loved every step of creating C. Tyson Photography but I needed to rekindle that joy. For the next 18 months I dived into the origin of photography itself. Spending countless hours on youtube and forums, I learned the original craft of photography created in 1851, the collodion wet-plate. To date, this is one my proudest photography moments.
