Accelerating a particle and photons

If I oscillate a charged particle with some frequency f, I'll be
generating EM radiation of that frequency. But this EM radiation is
just a stream of photons, each with an energy corresponding to
frequency f. But for a photon of that energy to be emmitted, it must
know the rate I'm oscillating the charged particle at (since that
determines f). Does this mean no photons are emmitted until I change
the particle's direction?
Another of phrasing my question - the photon must be emmitted with some
specific frequency. This frequency is only determined once I change the
direction of the particle I'm waving. So how is the photon emmitted
before I do that, with that frequency?
Thanks,
Brian
