the dark park

this is pam garrison, mixed media artist extraordinaire, and her family at a park that she called the dark park. tons of old oak trees and lots of charm. perfect for them.

you might remember them from before. her family has grown and changed since i saw them last and i have gotten to know her better. pam is such a cool person. read her blog for ten seconds and youll catch on quick. she has so much talent and has introduced me to the flea market bug.

so keeping that in mind, we talked about how to make the shoot different and how to play with some of her flea market finds. it was SO rewarding to do this with her. she brought most of the stuff and we figured out what to do with it. what a blast we had. we didnt have enough time for everything-so next year there will be another tara/pam flea market photo collaboration to look forward to.

  1. More AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL photos! Woman, you are SOO, SOO, SOOOO talented! I just LOVE your work! I hope to one day be able to capture peoples “TRUE” personalities in photos the way you do.

    Anyway, back to this set of photos…I really like all of them but I LOVE the DREAM one (PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE Do tell…How did you do it?) and the one with your quilt as the backdrop.

    By the way, is that quilt handmade? It’s BEAUTIFUL, I LOVE it too.

    GREAT WORK AGAIN!

  3. Love the chairs pics….as always you take the most gorgeous pics…makes me wish I was in California or near one of the cities you’re traveling to to get some shots done! But, instead I’ll have to just drool, hehe. The shot of the daughter alone standing, she kinda resembles that Scarlett Johansson actress, love that pic.
