my first senior session (not counting my two sisters) took place in arizona and features kate! i TOTALLY lucked out and got the most adorable girl and found the coolest locations. as i was driving to her house i passed an abandoned lot with an old white house on it.
of course we totally crashed that party!
this was taken inside the house-the doors were open. this old wallpaper was such a freaking AMAZING SCORE!
another one taken inside the pink kitchen….love the light on this. its so soft and pretty…
her boyfriend hopped in a few…
WOW, totally jealous of those senior photos! Beautiful!!!
no matter what, you always capture your subjects at their very best. the women [of all ages] always look so beautiful – how do you do it?! you have such an amazing gift.
thank you for sharing it with us.

oh im SO pumped for you to do mine. these turned out great!!
we did to plan a day :\ haha
dude! you are trying so much new stuff… i am jealous now! :) loooove these!
Some of the best Sr. pics I’ve ever seen. Rock’ed them! fan-freakin-tastic stuff.
whatever happened to the “pink kitchen”? we need to paint our kitchens pink more often. perhaps then we’d bake more often.
these are darling, btw – love that you did a sr session.
Stellar job as usual. Tara. I’m like McDonalds, I’m lovin’ it.
Okay, you can’t see me but I’m in my best “we’re not worthy” pose! I come by here a lot and am CONSTANTLY blown away by your amazing eye and talent. These senior photos rock – such fun. Where were you about 15 years ago?! Ha Ha. One day……..
Oh yeah, I think we had that EXACT wallpaper in my house as a kid – seriously!
Wonderful photos. I wish you were around 20 years ago for my senior photos!
love these!!
Awww, Tara!!! Those senior pics are FANTASTIC!!! Love them. What great locations. :)
do you use actions on your photos? or do you saturate the colors to make them pop like that?

Awesome
