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!!


Chelsea and Jason were married in a beautiful backyard ceremony a few weeks ago at Jason’s parent’s home. Things have been so crazy the last couple of months that I wasn’t able to meet Chelsea until the day of the ceremony. She and Jason are such a sweet couple and have equally awesome families. I loved getting to meet and spend the day with them. A few favorites from their wedding day..

  • Chelsea: These are beautiful! I never really understood how important pictures were to a wedding until I saw these. I'm fighting back tears! I'm so happy you did our pictures and captured these little moments that now I can have forever. Thank you. You're the best! :) (19.11.11, 08:22PM)

I’ve been SO excited to blog Kyle and Kylee’s STUNNING wedding. They are such a sweet couple and their wedding was amazing. It was held at the gorgeous SouthFork Ranch in Parker, Texas and it was a beautiful day. The Ranch was decorated so beautifully, complete with longhorns in the front pasture during the ceremony!! The reception was held in the ballroom and it was gorgeous. Not to mention, Kylee made a breathtaking bride!!l So in love with so many details of this perfect wedding. This is as much as I could narrow the blog down to. ;)
