AboutTara Swain

Hi, I'm Tara! I'm a wedding and portrait photographer based in Paris, Texas. I love bright colors, a vintage, eclectic feel and whimsical concepts. My passions are weddings and child photography. My favorite color is green, my favorite movie is "The Man in the Moon," I'm NOT a morning person, I've been happily married for almost 8 years with a beautiful 3 year old little girl and I love to blog!!


Baby Tristan is growing so fast! ..and so is that HAIR! I’ve never had a newborn or a 3 month old with that much hair!! He looked like such a little man in his polo shirts. I would of kept him if his mom would of let me. ;) He’s such a cutie.. I can’t wait to see how much he’s changed by his next milestone session!! :) Always fun working with this family. SO in love with the mommy/son pictures. For now a few favorites from his 3 month session..

I photographed Alec’s brother’s senior session a few years back and a few weeks ago I photographed Alec’s! This was one of the Senior mini sessions. In true Texas weather fashion, we experienced hot, no wind and sunshine followed immediately by cooler temps, high winds, overcast/cloudy and rain drops.. then back to sunny again. All in a 20 minute period. Luckily it never rained on us. Here are a few favorites from his mini session..

Mommy and me mini sessions were a huge success this year. I met SO many amazing mom’s and their babies.. as well as a lot of familiar faces! I’m honored to have had several of these wonderful ladies drive long distances to come in for these sessions. One, who even traveled from Austin! I had so much fun and enjoyed these sessions o much. I’ve also gotten a TON of inquires about mommy and me sessions after I posted the sneak peeks. I will be doing these again next April and they will most likely open up for bookings in October.. so just keep an eye on the mini session page around that time.

A few favorites from 2013′s mommy and me mini sessions..

Just had to share this. This was one of my favorites from their mini session. They came a LONG way for their session and these sweet kiddos had too many other things they wanted to do, they were not interested in smiling for me. So many beautiful candid shots of them.. but this is probably the most memorable. One of the very last frames. We were trying desperately to get both kiddos smiling and looking in my direction. The wind was blowing like crazy. The kids were done. But then…. Cole’s pants were apparently a bit too big and without him noticing, they just.. slipped down. I laughed so hard. Could not have been more perfect timing.
