At the beginning, I could see that they had a preconceived idea of how a “photo shoot” works, and what was so cool is how quickly they relaxed into the way I do things. I especially love when I win over Dad, because as we all know Mom is the only one that really wants to be there. By the end I could tell that he had really enjoyed himself, and the kids were inviting me to dinner. No better feeling than that.

This was their first family session and I am grateful I was able to have this experience with them. This is one of my favorite sessions from 2014.

 

ANNOUNCEMENT: MAY, JUNE, JULY TRAVEL SESSIONS

I just got home from an amazingly successful trip to Texas. I spent a week with some really cool clients, driving around Dallas and Austin in a little red Fiat, and had the time of my life. So, I am taking advantage of that photo trip high, and have planned my next three months.

May: DC and Raleigh
June: Seattle area
July: Portland, OR

Looking forward to exploring more new places and meeting new people. As always, I am looking for families who have fun together and would love sessions in their homes or someplace special to them.

Use the email me link in the top menu to express interest and book your session in one of these locations.

XOXO,
Tara

It’s probably no surprise that I was absolutely over the moon when I walked into their home and saw all that light and that pop of red for a couch. A pop of red in a photograph? PERFECTION.

Dad emailed me to set up the session as a surprise to his wife. They wanted me to stay with them through a weekend routine. Hang out, play, order Chinese take-out, play Monopoly. So that’s what we did. This session was filled with laughter.
