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!!


Meet Jessie and Lane! This awesome couple drove all the way from Orange for their engagement session. I’ll be shooting their wedding this fall and I cannot wait! They are so sweet and so much fun. Are you kidding me about Jessie’s baby blues?? Those are ALL natural… just for the record.. they remain untouched through editing. They are that gorgeous! A few favorites from their session.

Nikki and Wade are such a cute couple! Nikki is beautiful and I LOVE that lace dress. She did such a wonderful job picking out her outfits. I met up with them last week for their engagement session. It was a GORGEOUS day and the sky was filled with clouds. PS.. if Nikki looks familiar.. it’s because I shot her twin sister Jodie’s engagement session a couple of years ago.) ;)

I’ll be shooting this awesome couples wedding this summer. Lacey might look familiar.. and she should, because I photographed her 2 younger twin sisters, a few years ago when they were graduating high school. I’ve already met her mom, dad and sisters but this was the first time I’ve actually gotten to meet Lacey or Logan! They were SO much fun and I can’t wait for their wedding. Lacey and Logan have been together since they were in the 8th grade. They are so adorable together. :)

A huge thank you to Miss Allie who was a big help during the session. :)
