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 ideas. 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 6 years with a beautiful 1 year old little girl and I love to blog!!


Miss Avery is a beautiful, VERY ACTIVE 18 month old that I had the day of the mini sessions! She kept me and her mama on our toes the entire time.

How do you know when your portrait session with an 18 month old is over? This:

  • Elise: SO CUTE!! Her eyelashes are.. WOW!! Great pictures as always.. you can tell how fun she is :) (03.01.12, 07:35PM)

Sweet little Blace is turning 1 in a few days! He was not too fond of having his picture taken though. He’s such a handsome little man and we were able to manage a few smiles out of him.. or should I say his daddy was! But he was definitely ready to get out of there! ;) When he laughed, I would laugh and he would immediately frown at me. I’ve never had a kiddo quite so serious as Mr. Blace. But he can’t take a bad picture when he’s as handsome as he is. :)

  • Rachel: I LOVE THEM!!!!! (15.12.11, 08:35AM)
  • Elise: I have the cutesy Godson in the world!!!! Eeekkk these pictures are so perfect!!!! And you are right even without him smiling he is still so handsome :) you rock Tara!!!! (15.12.11, 09:42AM)
