Kyle & Brittany’s Wedding

Tara — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 18:42:34 +0000

Kyle & Brittany’s Wedding was at the Sierra La Verne Country Club. They were such a fun couple, always crackin’ jokes! I had a blast at their wedding. Might I add that their families and friends sure do know how to dance the night away You will see Brittany’s grandpa workin’ the dance floor in the last pic!

The sunset was beautiful…it was a perfect backdrop for the cake.

Man did Kyle get Brittany with the cake. She took it like a champ

Work it Grandpa!

Are you kidding me!

Tara — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 02:41:02 +0000

Andre is an aspiring actor, model and rapper and wanted some photos taken of himself. He told me that he was NOT photogenic! I was a bit worried after he said that…especially if he wants to be model. You have to be photogenic for that career! On my way to the session I remember thinking. “Oh man, this isn’t going to be easy!” Well….I show up and take one look at Andre and think “Are you kidding me!!!!!!!!!” He was awesome in front of the camera Andre, you are crazy if you still think you are not photogenic!

Happy 1st Brithday

Happy 1st Birthday Khloe!

Sneak peek for mom & dad…

David & Lisa’s Wedding

Tara — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 17:44:52 +0000

Davis & Lisa’s wedding was at the beautiful Monteleone Meadows. It was a small intimate wedding with only close family and friends. I can’t even describe how in love David and Lisa are. When I first met with them, I seriously didn’t want to leave! I could have sat there and talked to them all day :} They are such amazing people and their love just radiated out of them.

Lisa’s dad was so happy to dance with his little girl!

A baby is coming soon!

Tara — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 01:54:34 +0000

Jerry & Charissa’s Wedding

Tara — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 23:12:38 +0000

Jerry and Charissa were such an easy couple to work with. The only request they had for me was to get some photos of them in front of the fire truck. That’s it? YEP!

Charissa was the most relaxed bride I have ever seen. Even though we were behind schedule she was calm and enjoying every moment. Might I add that she was STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL!!! I really couldn’t wait to photograph their wedding. I knew Charissa was going to look perfect in her wedding dress. Which she did of course!

Even though there were a few things that happened throughout the night that weren’t planned. Joe… I mean Jerry (if you were at the wedding you know what I mean) and Charissa were so good about everything. They enjoyed themselves the entire time

SO BEAUTIFUL!!! Jerry you are one lucky guy!!!

Waiting for his bride to walk down the isle

Congratulations

Their ONLY request…

Jerry gettin’ down on the dance floor!

Surprise!

Tara — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 04:50:25 +0000

Breanna REALLY wanted to do a trash the dress shoot. She emailed me a few times asking about it and she tried to make it work. Unfortunately things happened and she decided that she wouldn’t be able to do the shoot. Some time later Aaron called and told me that he knew how much it meant to Breanna and he wanted to surprise her with the shoot as a wedding gift. How awesome is that! I was so excited! I wanted to call Breanna right away and start planning it. Of course I couldn’t Aaron wasn’t going to tell her until their wedding night. It was so hard not to say anything to Breanna. I knew I would see her two days after their wedding but she didn’t

So…we headed down to Huntington Beach for the shoot. Breanna didn’t want to do any trashing which was perfectly fine with me. This beach was where they got engaged so it meant a lot to them. It was so nice to get photos of them so relaxed and in love

They went to Ruby’s right before Aaron proposed and drank peanut butter cup shakes. They were excited to see the shake on the wall! Yes, we decided to be fierce in front of the Ruby’s sign

Aaron & Breanna’s Wedding

Tara — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 22:35:10 +0000

What a beautiful couple these two are. I can’t even describe how beautiful their relationship is. They are so in love with each other. It’s so stinkin’ cute

I have NEVER been so emotional at a wedding before. Seriously, I was fighting back tears! Their wedding was centered around God and the tremendous amount of love they both have for Him. It was BEAUTIFUL!!! There were so many surprises throughout the day too. Breanna surprised Aaron right before she walked down the isle with a speech. Well, really it was more than that. So, you could hear her voice but not see her. It was beautiful to watch Aaron as he listened to her voice.

More surprises in the pics below…

After they kissed it was Aaron’s turn to surprised Breanna. He sang her a lovely song.

A moment to themselves right after the ceremony He couldn’t take his eyes off of her

Breanna then wrote her dad something so special. This was really when I was fighting back the tears! Her dad had given her a purity ring years ago and she was now giving it back to him. Again it was such a special moment to see. It totally made me think of my daughter on her wedding day.

I couldn’t imagine being a father and letting go of your little girl

Ray & Jennifer’s Wedding

Tara — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 21:01:36 +0000

What a beautiful wedding it was!

Check out Megan’s blog post too

I do have to give a shout out to Clynda who did an AMAZING job on Jennifers hair. As a retired hairstylist myself, I do have to say she does exceptional work!

The details were one of a kind. It fit them so perfectly

A little prayer before the ceremony

I love the way the look at each other, so genuine and heart felt

One last kiss before my night was through

No…not engagement photos. These two are already married and so in love. I was shocked when Joey and Amanda told me that this was the FIRST time having a photographer photograph them! They said that their last “professional” pictures was from prom!!!! I was so glad to give them some new and updated photos

Happy birthday to him!

Tara — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 20:41:38 +0000

Jerry & Charissa’s Engagement

Tara — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 02:49:51 +0000

I was so happy to be able to shoot Jerry & Charissa’s engagement photos You see…we had their session scheduled for a few weeks ago. The weekend before, I got an email from Charissa saying we would either have to reschedule the session or possibly even cancel it completely. Why you say? Well, Jerry is a firefighter and we all know about the fires that happened recently. So, he was off workin’ hard and wasn’t going to get a day off to take their engagement photos We worked it out and got them done!!!

ps, Thanks for all your hard work helping put out those fires Jerry!!!

Charissa, you are stunning and will make a beautiful bride! I can’t wait to photograph you in your wedding dress!

While I was waiting for Jerry and Charissa’s session to start. I was walking around and saw a dad with his kids piled around something in the bushes. The kids were screaming and jumping up and down. I got curious and walked over to see what the commotion was all about. OH MY GOSH!!!!!! This is what they were looking at. EEEWWWW!!!!! It was the biggest spider I have seen in real life! (The picture isn’t really doing it justice). The spider was, no joke…like 4 inches long. If you would have seen it you would have been so scared to step on it cuz it was so big!

One day before…

Tara — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 04:44:23 +0000

One day before their move to Washington I was able to take this family’s photos. I’m so glad they wanted to squeeze in a session before packing and hittin’ the road. They are an awesome family

Here’s a sneak peek for Jen

Dylan

Tara — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 02:44:01 +0000

Jeff & Renae’s Wedding

Tara — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 04:42:40 +0000

I had the honor of shooting Jeff and Renae’s wedding earlier this month. Their wedding was absolutely amazing I did get spoiled with a second shooter. No, not my hubby!!! Megan did an awesome job. She shot the guys, I shot the girls. I shot the wedding party she shot the cocktail hour. Of course we tag teamed during the ceremony and reception Check out her blog post on the wedding.

Renae looked stunning. Look at those beautiful brown eyes!!!

What a beautiful couple inside and out. Jeff and Renae, Thank you for letting me be apart of your big day! You guys are amazing!

Lexi

Tara — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 23:48:52 +0000

I was pleasantly surprised that Lexi’s mom called me to take her 6 month photos I swear I just took her newborn pics!

Lexi was such an angel. She was perfect through the entire session! Here’s your sneak peek Katie

Even her serious face is adorable

Caylee

Tara — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 21:44:46 +0000

Caylee was such a cutie. She did not like being a model at first but then was too tired to even care. Here’s a little sneak peek for mom

A day in Pasadena

Tara — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 17:39:02 +0000

I finally set aside a day just for me to get out and play with my camera. I went with my friend Megan who got some different shots from the day so check out her blog post. We wanted to play around with the sun a bit. I never have been able to get sun bursts in my shots before. I read this blog post from MCP Actions and realized what I was doing wrong. Now I got it! With a bit more practice I think I can get some great sun bursts, maybe something to hang in my house

I wanted to practice with different meter settings and white balance. So Megan was my BEAUTIFUL model!!!

We even met this little cutie I think I want one

Cousins

My little boy turned 3 years old today!!!

Round 2

Tara — Mon, 11 May 2009 04:48:53 +0000

Round 2 for Nikki’s senior pics was a success. Wind was not a factor this time around. YAY!

It was much more relaxing for the both of us =)

All in one session

Tara — Sat, 09 May 2009 03:25:32 +0000

We managed to squeeze grad pics for both mom and daughter and family portraits all in one session. It was a fun and relaxing session. I really enjoyed shooting this family. There were a lot of pics I could have posted due to the fact that there was such a variety to choose from. But I just decided to pick my top 2. Enjoy!

Brittany & Kyle’s Engagement Session

Tara — Wed, 06 May 2009 21:52:02 +0000

Newport Beach Wedding

Tara — Mon, 04 May 2009 04:10:37 +0000

I was happy to shoot this wedding not only because I love to photograph for this family but it was my first beach wedding! It was also the first wedding that I had an assistant! My husband! He was such a big help, he even took some photos during the ceremony. I was impressed, the first photo is one that he took. I think I should have him be a second shooter for me all the time =)

The Smart Girls

Tara — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 23:13:34 +0000

Even with an unexpected haircut these girls are adorable =)

Not your everyday backyard wedding

Tara — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 19:15:24 +0000

Cindy & Gary’s wedding was amazing! It was in Cindy’s parents backyard, the house that she grew up in. AWW!!! When I saw the location a few days before the wedding I was soooo excited. There were so many spots that I thought would be great for pics the day of the wedding. Sooo….the big day comes and so does the sun =( A lot of those awesome spots weren’t so awesome anymore. I mean they were still beautiful but there was way to much sun and would not make a cute picture. We just had to find some shade! Thanks for letting me be apart of you big day Cindy & Gary =)

My little princess….

Tara — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 15:01:29 +0000

is two years old!

I hate the wind!!!!

Tara — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 20:05:38 +0000

It was so windy for Nikki’s senior pics so we had to stop half way through:( I did get a few that look like it was a calm not tornado like windy day! I can’t wait to reshoot her, she’s beautiful and the camera loves her:)

Home sweet home

Tara — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 04:13:53 +0000

Tim and Angelina were such troopers! They were willing to be photographed at a spot that I have been eyeing for a while. This spot isn’t the cutest place when you see it but I thought I could make something fun and different out of it. Tim is on leave from serving in Iraq and they wanted to get some pictures taken while he is home. Aren’t they cute!!!!

Mini Sessions

Tara — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 18:15:31 +0000

Regina & D’s engagement

Tara — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 19:28:44 +0000

Regina & D were a great couple to photograph. D is living in Georgia for a few months and was back in Cali for the weekend so we took advantage of their time together and did their engagement pics. I just love when guys get really into the pictures (That doesn’t happen often). But about half way through the session D busted out his inner top model. He was doing his thing and smiling with his eyes just like Tyra says to do. I loved it! Their wedding is in September and I’m excited to photograph them again, they were a lot of fun

Santa Monica Pier

This session at the Santa Monica Pier was super special to this couple. Jeff proposed to Renae on the Ferris wheel there and they wanted to go back for their engagement photos. I am really excited to photograph their wedding in August

My Friends

Tara — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 01:30:36 +0000

These are friends of mine that came down from Washington to visit us a few weeks ago. I had to take a couple of shots of them while our families hung out at the beach. I can’t wait to photograph their wedding in July!

I’ll never forget…

Tara — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 06:14:33 +0000

I will remember this sweet little angel forever. She made history in my book. She wouldn’t close her eyes for a second. I have never seen a newborn stay awake for so long. I even came back a second time to photograph her to hopefully catch her while she was sleeping. NOPE, that didn’t happen! Oh, and she didn’t just make it in my history book because she never sleeps (well around me anyways) but I ACCIDENTALLY hit her with my camera! Boy did I fell horrible! She was a trooper but it was the end of the session for that day I promise if I ever photograph you or your child that will NEVER happen again! SORRY LEXI!!!!!!!!!!!!!

7 month old beauty

AWWWW!!!! It feels like I just took her newborn pics. Well, I did…6 or so months ago. It goes by quick! Before you know it mama will be calling for her 1 year pics. This is my friends beautiful daughter, that’s why I can say I KNOW she will be calling me. I can’t wait!

Walsh Wedding

Tara — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 03:20:58 +0000

Here’s a few collages I did really quick just to ease the anticipation for Mrs. Walsh. I got a text from her today while she is enjoying her honeymoon asking how the pics came out. I know she and her family are dying to see them so here’s a little sneak peek.

Siblings

Tara — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 17:41:23 +0000

I never got around to posting this brother and sister until now. They were great to photograph. We threw in some senior portraits for CJ who is graduating this year, what a handsome young man. And look at how gorgeous Samantha is. She was a natural in front of the camera.

Mom & her girls

Tara — Sun, 28 Dec 2008 23:50:26 +0000

I love taking pics of these girls. They are GORGEOUS and Hunti (the little one) is an angel. I photographed Lexi this past year for her senior portraits and Bree and Hunti a few months ago just for fun. Lisa finally decided to join her girls in this shoot. You look fabulous Lisa!!!

Jackson

Tara — Sat, 20 Dec 2008 05:32:43 +0000

Here’s my friend Gina’s brand new (10 days old) little boy Jackson. Isn’t he adorable!

Twins

Tara — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 21:38:19 +0000

These two love birds are having twin boys. Man are they doing to have their hands full! Can’t wait to meet the little guys!

Last one

Tara — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 01:18:13 +0000

This was my last family photo session for the holidays and what a way to end it with this gorgeous family! Nicole actually was the one who designed my logo and business cards.

Sisters

Tara — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 06:32:17 +0000

These sisters were such troopers. It was freezing cold outside and they were so good about it. Scooby was great too. Isn’t he a cutie!

Funny Girl

Tara — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 06:24:15 +0000

Gianna was so funny. She was not feelin’ me at all. I tried everything I could think of to get her to smile. She was just looking at me like I was crazy. She cracked me up when I was looking through all of her photos. All of her faces she was making at me was just hilarious. This is one that I actually got a little smile out of her. Well, she was actually smiling at uncle Alex. Thanks Alex!!!

Baby Khloe

Tara — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 06:15:48 +0000

This sweetheart isn’t even two weeks old. She was an absolute angel. Now mommy has a pic of her with her eyes open!

Handsome

Tara — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 04:02:25 +0000

How nice was it to take pics of this handsome young man. These are his first pics taken since the 2nd grade! Well, outside of school pics. His mom is going to love these!

Lovin it!

Tara — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 04:34:19 +0000

I could take pictures of this little man all day long. I always go into sessions where kids are involved thinking of ways to get them to smile and look at me. Not this guy! He was sooooo good. I didn’t have to whip out a single one of my ideas. I loved it! Not only was he good, he’s a handsome little guy too. Thanks for being such a great model Corson!

Bundle of joy

Tara — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 18:29:40 +0000

This little bundle of joy was a opposite of what he is doing in the pics. He was AWAKE! He was such a good boy he was alert and just looking around at everything. He did not want to sleep. He must have known I was there and wanted to stay awake for me so I can see his big brown eyes. The first pic looks like he is sleeping but he wasn’t. The second is the ONLY pic I got of him sleeping and the only shot I got of him in the bucket by that time we was done being a model.

A breath of fresh air

Tara — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 05:33:19 +0000

This is the second time I’ve photographed this family and I love photographing them. Nothing but smiles from this little girl. She is a breath of fresh air. A photographers dream when it comes to photographing babies. It’s so hard not to post my favs. of her. I can’t wait till christmas cards are passed out so I can put her cute little face all over my blog.
