Sunday sugary sweetest moment…

We had a new doughnut place open up here in our community (The Donut Hole, Steiner Ranch) so Aaron and I ran down there this morning with Haylee in tow (as we were running in the hot August heat– sweating, huffing, puffing, thinking about burning off those calories we were about to consume, I thought about how nice it would be to be a 2 year old again….not a worry in the world….just enjoying her juice and a free ride….counting the cars that go by and shouting out the color of each one!).  Then once we arrived…check out Haylee’s VERY sweet sunday morning moment….oh, ours too.:)

Jaxon is One!!

I loved edited this session so much!  This little guy Jaxon is so expressive and I love his eyes…they are so vibrant blue and filled with that sparkle of childhood.  I decided to make a little slideshow so here it is.  Jennifer & Chad, I hope you love the pics.  Time flies by so fast….just last year I was celebrating Haylee’s first birthday and it feels like it flew by in a flash.  Enjoy every little moment with your sweet little guy…he is just too cute.  Thanks for spending time with me and allowing me to capture this time for you guys.

Wishing you sweet moments always,

Tara

Today’s sweetest moment

Oi.  She is growing up so fast.  Watching my sweet little baby coloring, focusing, holding the crayon perfectly in her tiny little fingers, was my sweetest moment of the day.  It tickles my heart with pride and makes me look forward to our daily “after nap” coloring sessions.  Everyday after her nap she goes over to the crayon box and yells “bluuuuuuueeeeee”….meaning she’d like to color.  And in fact, she typically only wants the blue crayon.  I want to remember these sweet innocent everyday moments that are flying by in the mist of work, bills, cleaning, worring, living….

Tiffany Mullins - August 25, 2010 - 8:11 pm

Beautiful. I love your work. I need to have you come up here and do a mullins family shoot.

Life’s sweetest moments…

I’m starting a new feature on this blog that is going to feature pictures that captures some of my life’s sweetest moments.  I see beauty in some of the everyday things that we do and I want to remember all of them.  I saw this great quote the other day and I think it explains why photography is so important to me.  “Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.” ~Aaron Siskind

I want to remember the little things, these everyday sweet moments that make me smile.  If you want one of your sweetest moments captured and featured on the blog, send me a message, I’d love to hear from you.  For now, enjoy this pic of my sweet Haylee and she runs through the sprinklers, laughing and squealing on this hot August day.

Melissa Womack - August 24, 2010 - 5:05 pm

I LOVE it Tara… she is so stinkin cute and the photo is AMAZING.

Melissa Cansler - August 27, 2010 - 6:53 pm

Moments like this, are what life is all about! Great photo!

Life is Sweet {Family Portrait} session of the month!

The Rohrer family was so fun to work with.  Harrison and Hadley are just as cute as can be and I had a great time shooting them on one hot & muggy July morning.  Julie you have such great taste….the outfits you chose are great and you all look amazing!  Thanks for everything and I hope you cherish these images forever.

Melissa - August 18, 2010 - 4:47 pm

Great job Tara! I love love love the photo by the lake…Austin looks soooo beautiful. We really need to come out there and see you guys!

Sarah Kipling - August 20, 2010 - 6:19 am

Absolutely beautiful pics and family. Memories to always be cherished.

April Traweek - August 15, 2010 - 4:02 pm

WOW!!! These are beautiful…and a beautiful family of course!!

Baby Johnny

Baby Johnny was such a good little guy during our session….he was a little bit older than most of the newborns I shoot but it worked out really well because he was alert for most of the photo shoot and then at the very end he slept for us for just a little bit.  The V family was so sweet and fun to work with.  As you can tell in these pics, baby Johnny has really bonded with his mommy and daddy and the look in his eye when he was looking at his mom was so beautiful.  Lauren & Johnny, I hope you guys enjoy these pics forever and ever!

Also, I wanted to show you blog readers, that I am now including these wall display ideas.  If you give me a picture of the room you are wanting to display your art, I can come up with a collage of photos that would look great or I can use these generic rooms as shown below to help you visualize how this art will be displayed.

I give discounts on print packages if you purchase a whole room collection as shown below.  For example, this collection is (2) 10×20″ and (3) 10×10 printed on the highest quality fine art paper and matted for durability.  If purchased a la carte would be $245, but I offer a 20% discount making this collection only $199.

Lauren - August 5, 2010 - 11:39 pm
