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!!


OFFICIALLY introducing sweet Miss Maggie Mae. I’ve been looking forward to this little girls newborn session for sometime now. I think this was the first time I’ve ever not used a single one of MY own headbands. For those of you who don’t know Tab.. Maggie Mae’s bow collection is already in the triple digits. Tab has been buying bows from day 1 that she found out that she was pregnant with a little girl. She was even doing a little Etsy shopping while she was IN LABOR at the hospital. ;) I’m so in love with SO many images from this session. Mags is so beautiful.. and her mama has pretty awesome taste. ;)

You might remember Miss Brynlee from when I photographed her birth just a couple of weeks ago. If you missed that make sure you check out THIS IMAGE. Brynlee is just perfect and her parents could not possibly love her anymore than they already do. She was very alert during her session and did NOT want to sleep for us, but she did amazing. I am SO in love with this entire session. I already have a few picked out that I’m going to enlarge just for the studio. :) I can’t wait to watch this sweet little girl grow up! Just a few favorites from her newborn session.. leave this sweet girl and her parents some blog love!!

I adore everything about this little girl. Her newborn chubbiness, her sweet baby cheeks, her spunky little personality and even her name!! Everything about this girls parents and their style called for an outdoor session and luckily we had a BEAUTIFUL day for it. I was SO excited we were able to do everything outdoors and I just LOVE this session so much. I’ve also got several I’ll be printing from this session for the studio. For now.. here are a few favorites from her newborn session!! :)
