Tara Swain Photography

I am mainly an on location, natural light photographer. I am based in Paris, Texas (Northeast Texas) but available for travel anywhere. If your planning on running away to get married, I do offer special packages for destination brides. I also offer a home studio for my newborn and child sessions but prefer to keep all other sessions on location. I specialize in newborn, child, engagement, bridal and wedding photography.

A portrait session with me is a laid-back, fun experience! I thrive on giving my clients a one of a kind, original, custom experience that they will enjoy just as much as the images we create from it. I’m not your “old-school” photographer. I want to see how people love one another. I’ll ask you to play and I’ll ask you to be silly and I do my best to make you laugh at one another. I’m always looking for something new and something completely different.. the more quirky, the better.

Custom photography is an investment and I do take pride in creating the highest quality experience and images for my clients. I also believe that you shouldn’t have to agonize over choosing just a few of your images to print. I want you to be able to have ALL of your images- so all wedding packages and portrait sessions include a high resolution DVD of digital negatives with a limited personal usage agreement. I will provide clients with information for where they can print their images for the best quality. I also offer a variety of products available for purchase a la carte, such as: professional prints, albums, coffee table books, canvas wraps, custom framing and custom announcement and invitations.

I accept a limited number of weddings and portrait sessions each year. Portrait sessions are scheduled Tuesday-Friday ONLY. A non-refundable retainer and signed wedding or portrait agreement are due at the time of booking to reserve the date. My calendar normally fills up anywhere form 6-9 months in advance for portrait sessions and I book weddings anywhere from 9-18 months in advance. If you are interested in booking a baby’s 1st year plan, it’s important that you contact me during your first trimester. Unfortunately, due to scheduling so far in advance, I don’t always have available dates for sessions if your unable to contact me until later in your pregnancy.
