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!!

I’ll be shooting this awesome couple’s wedding in Houston this Spring. They are so much fun.. an fabulous.. and did I mention fun? They flew in from Virginia for their engagement session so this was the first chance I had actually gotten to meet them. Needless to say, they rock.. and I had a lot of favorites from this session. :) Shoot styled by Birds of a Feather!

I’ll be shooting this awesome couples wedding this Spring. I’ve been talking with Cassie over the last few months but this was the first time I got to actually meet Cassie and Jason. They are such a fun couple and even though we were freezing our bottoms off most of the session, I had a lot of fun getting to know them! A few favorites from their session..
