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!!

Last month I met one of the cutest little cowboys that ever lived. Terryl and his mom came in for a visit from Nevada and came to see me for Terryl’s 2 year pictures. He was all business. He’s a roper, like his daddy, and he didn’t mind showing off his skills.. as long as I didn’t get in his way. ;) He was such a cutie and as much as he had going on, I still managed to get a ton of smiles out of him. His mom brought along her wooden horses from when she was a little girl and he even roped off of them for awhile. Apparently his dad sticks his tounge out when he’s roping.. and Terryl does the same thing. ;) A few favorites from his shoot last month..

  • Cindy Kueckelhan: Love these pictures!! AWESOME job!! (20.05.13, 07:40PM)
