John's Newborn Portraits

I had my first "boy" newborn session last week- it was so much fun. I had the pleasure of shooting John's first photo session- and it was a big day for him, he had his grandparents in town- so he was entertaining them, also he was baptized that morning, and he had his first photo session. Of course he handled in like a champ and actually didnt fall asleep until the very end. John is our good friends Dave and Kate's little one- and it was so fun to do a photo shoot with them. Kate's parents (as mentioned before) were part of the session too- so it was great see how excited they were about the newest member of their family. I had a great time with them and I am so happy with the results- check out just a few of my favorites from the day.....

This was grandpa's idea- I love it

Fun with the Family Part Two- The Boys

Here are the great shots I got of our nephews over Christmas. Just like I said on the last post- I had such a great time with all these little ones. I can't wait for these two brothers to grow up, I can totally see them being so close- like best friends. Introducing to my blog here is Kaden (the big brother) and Karsten (the little brother).

Fun with the Family Part One- The girls

During our trips back to the states I had the opportunity to do some sessions with all of my adorable nieces and nephews. Since we everything was just crazy with tons of things going on at once- we got to do little individual photo shoots of each of them which worked out really well so that the kids weren't distracted. Like I have said before- when you have a relationship with the person you photograph it truly shows- and as you can see by these pictures I am completely in love with these two little girls. Here are just a few of my favorites of my nieces Gabby and McKenna.

The Winslow Family Photo Shoot Part One

I had an absolute blast getting to know this great family a few weeks ago- Unfortunately we totally got rained out so we are going to have to finish the session in the New Year. All three of these kids are completely different and the Mom just let them dress in what they are comfortable in- which I totally think is why I love these pictures so much. So here are just a few of my favorites from that day…

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all of my fabulous clients, friends and family. We are leaving in the morning to head back to the states until the new year- but I will be checking email so please do not hesitate to email me I would love to hear from you. MERRY CHRISTMAS- Tara

What I Have been up to Lately...

Well since Christmas is rapidly approaching- I really didn't think that I would be that busy in December but boy was I wrong. Along with my normal photo shoots and etc. I had a few non-conventional photo shoots. I had the opportunity to photograph two different organizations here in England and a fabulous Christmas party.

The first week in December I had the opportunity to do some pictures with a great backdrop- a million dollar jet and an American flag- so fun- so here is just one of my favorites from that day....Then a few weeks later I had the opportunity to do it again for another organization on base- just a different plane- so here is just one of my favorite shots from that shoot....

And as mentioned before I also had a great time being just a fly on the wall at a great Christmas party! *as you will see below they made one of the guys dress up as a fairy- too funny.

Smith Family Photo Shoot

This is the Smith family- his name is John and her name is Mary- I love that. And they welcomed there little girl Maggie to their family earlier this summer. The Smith's are such a neat family and it was so much fun to hang out with them and meet there little girl. Maggie totally lights up when both her parents are in the room. I saw her totally start laughing with Dad and with Mom- I just love that. The smith's also have a great British house with really fun retro wall paper- so do not worry I totally took advantage of that. Thanks the Smiths for a great photo shoot Maggie was such a trooper on her first modeling job!!!

A Great shot in front of that Fun wallpaper I LOVE IT!

I love this moment with Maggie and Mom
